Transport costs set to drop after government intervention

From Morning Report, 7:09 am on 15 March 2022

It's a new dawn at the petrol pump - prices should now be back to what they were three or four three weeks ago.

The Government's temporarily pulled 25 cents a litre off its fuel excise duty, and told the petrol companies to pass it on.

The Russia-Ukraine war sent already rising prices to over three dollars a litre.

Public transport will be half price for three months too, if people want to opt out altogether.
