🚨 NEW RECRUIT ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨

Big day earlier this week at as we welcomed our newest “partner” from .

Under the proposed 47% capital gains tax scheme, it’s a pretty tidy arrangement:

The trucks? Mine.
The finance? Mine.
The staff? Mine.
The stress? Mine.
The tax? Also mine.

But if the business ever succeeds enough to sell, he’d like 47% of the uplift.

No 2am driver calls.
No fuel bills.
No tyre accounts.
No chasing freight.
No explaining why transport actually costs money.

Just the good bit.

For his first day, we ran through trucks, configurations, who’s going where, compliance, stagnant rates, rising fuel costs and the joy of trying to keep freight moving safely and legally.

We also discussed overseas drivers being able to come here and potentially operate 64 tonne combinations or greater with little to no Australian heavy vehicle experience.

He agreed with the idea. Apparently that’s “solving the driver shortage”.

Finally, we covered fuel prices and the extra revenue government receives every time diesel goes up.

Again, no issue.

To be fair, he brought coffee and donuts, so we’ll give him points for that.

Not sure the suit and tie look will survive long here, but we’ll reserve judgement until he’s done a night shift and quoted a job at 2010 rates. But he did get one part of his attire right. He did say he loves our hats from Country Trucker Caps

Welcome aboard.

You don’t get the trucks.
You don’t get the stress.
But you do get 47%.

Here’s a photo of the new recruit when one of the staff mentioned he should have taken more than 47%.



DISCLAIMER:

For the 2 sad sacks in the room, not mentioning any names (Hayden and Marc). This is just a joke. It’s a bit of fun floating around the internet. It’s not real. It’s AI.

Albo has never stepped foot in our office.

Have a cuddle and cheer up!

Oh we don’t plan on giving him 47% either 😜

They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.

Fuel excise tax is currently 52.6c for every litre of fuel. GST is then added on top, so at the current prices the federal government is getting roughly 80c a litre in tax. We are getting taxed on a tax. The government double dips with this policy.

A reduction of 50% in tax as a bare minimum, would do a lot to help business and all Australians with the ridiculous fuel prices at the moment. Even the struggling fuel retailers and suppliers would receive great benefit from this.

Why do we not have a real leader in this country that can take serious action and eliminate the tax for a month or longer?

Why is there absolutely no action from government in relation to this?

Happy to be told my math is wrong in relation to this.

Where does it end?

As we’ve continually been told we have no supply issue and it is only 20% of the world’s oil supply that flows through the Strait of Hormuz. The oil that cannot get through due to the Iran War is still 6 months away from our shores.

Make it make sense please!!!

Great insight from people in the fuel industry. Glad to hear someone taking the time to explain the situation. We’ve all had so many questions about the fuel issue over the last few weeks. Finally someone in the know taking the time to give everyone an honest answer. Thank you Inland Petroleum

Another message from our Chief Operating Officer:

There is a common question coming up asking why we can't hold the price down around what we previously purchased the fuel for. Like any business, being able to buy new stock is a cash flow problem that is a function of how well you sell the old stock and what the new stock costs. When the TGP is escalating at a rapid rate, it will outrun the cumulative revenue of the old stock, including margin, to the point where it is uneconomical or simply not possible to buy at the new price. For some smaller independents this has been a real problem over the past week. Some independents have been caught short on cash flow and it has flowed through to their ability to fill their tanks. That may explain why some sites in the region have been running out in addition to the allocation and demand issues I explained in the last post.

To put the demand side in context, some of our own sites have been turning over their stock in less than a day or two. There is simply no cheap stock left even if the issues with the runaway price and replacement cost weren't a factor.

The graph shows an example where we fill a tank to 120,000 litres moving through 14,000 litres per day. The TGP is Sydney Diesel from last week to now, with 6 cents per litre freight to site and 12 cents per litre margin to cover the running costs of a retail site included in revenue. This is an example and actual margin requirements vary widely.

If we sell at the old buy price plus margin (light blue line), the cost to refill the tank (red line) overtakes cumulative revenue by Day 3 and the gap keeps widening. By Day 9 we've collected around $232,000 but it costs nearly $282,000 to replace the stock. That is a $50,000 hole before we even think about turning on the lights.

The darker blue line shows what happens if we move the price with the replacement cost each day. In this example we nearly break even by Day 9, but only because we moved the price every single day to match what new stock was actually costing. That is what a responsibly run independent site has to do right now.

Prices always move more slowly on the way down. We have committed to continuing to support our communities by managing our stock position wisely to ensure that cheaper prices flow through as soon as they are able to.

Thank you,
Nathan
COO
