Single, Poor, Pensioner.

Here we go again!!! Petrol pricing is about to explode!!!


RACV Petrol Watch ~ Latrobe Valley
Product Cost 69.2 cents
Federal Tax 37.7 cents
GST 12.0 cents
Freight 1.3 cents
Shell & Retailer 12.2 cents

Retail Price 132.4 cents per litre.

One has to ask, with further expenses, how will the single pensioners cope? Those who are already struggling, to maintain a house, and motor vehicle. Why should the widows/widowers, be punished with insufficient income, just because their life partner has died? Is this, justice?
I realise that there has been a poll in the media, which gained an overwhelming public response, of an expectation that the Government should ease the fuel tax burden. Will it make a difference, as this is an election year?
Zech. 7:9-10 Well, the message hasn't changed. God-of-the-Angel-Armies said then and says now: " 'Treat one another justly. Love your neighbors. Be compassionate with each other. Don't take advantage of widows, orphans, visitors, and the poor. Don't plot and scheme against one another—that's evil.' (Message)
