The 5 cents a day increase on fuel, is nothing new. Victoria was doing that years ago , don't know if it's still happening.
If the Govt can retail cheaper fuel, it most likely would be a drop in the taxes charged, such as not long ago. So if that's the case, why can't it prevail now.

Up here in North Queensland, there is only one power supplier ; that is Ergon. This company is owned by the QLD Govt, and its shareholders, are politicians, who receive dividends.
Cop that Queenslanders.... what a racket. !!

Many years ago, my wife and I were in Melbourne on a business trip. We decided to have lunch at a sidewalk Cafe. There were lots of people doing the same thing, and a lone gentleman approached, and asked if he could share our table ; to which we agreed.

I lost my dear, much loved wife to cancer ; she was 42yrs old. She took life as though nothing was wrong, and enjoyed everything we did. When she passed, nobody would believe it, we kept it all to ourselves. Perhaps the Princess of Wales sees things that way too.

Every day I get threatening notices to pay toll fees which are overdue.
I don't live anywhere near toll roads/bridges etc......so I just block these notices, which also deletes them, assuring me I won't get anything more from that number. Next day another one from a different number.....it goes...
Shrinkflation is the sneaky way of grabbing more of your hard earned money.
A good example, is bottled Breakfast Marmalade. The price is the same, but the jar, and content, has shrunk from 450 GM, down to 375 GM.

I have experienced Coles deceptive attitude for months. They put the price of an item up ; as an example.....the price has been $5.50 for a while, then there's a tag offering it at $6.50, on special for $6.00. You are paying more now, and it's supposedly on "special". I have emailed them about...
