Usually don't send stuff like this out but the sudden jump from the mid
70c/litre range to the high 80s and 90c+ has pissed me off a little. It
won't be much skin off my nose not to buy petrol on these days so I'll jump
on this particular bandwagon...
Sick of being ripped off with current petrol prices?
Then read on.
AUSTRALIANS JOIN THE WORLD "GAS OUT"
INTERNATIONAL 3 DAY PETROL BOYCOTT - April 6th-8th.
Last year on April 30, across the USA the American people staged what they
called a "Gas Out" across Canada and the USA to bring down the high price of
petrol ..........and it worked!!!!
It's time we Australian's took a leaf out of the old American protest book
and did something similar, only this time let's make it for THREE DAYS
instead of just one. Can you imagine how this sort of
action would hurt the Federal Government which rips us off blind with its
World Parity Pricing Policy?
Can you imagine how this sort of action would hurt the Oil companies who
also rip us off blind with their variety of fuel prices all across the
nation aimed at wringing the last cent out of our pockets wherever they can
do so?
The Oil Cartel has decided to slow production simply to drive up petrol
prices and put our money in their pockets. Yet you don't see our Federal
Government rushing to help the people do you? John Howard, while putting on
his public disapproval, must be quietly loving this scenario, as it's
putting more money in his Treasury and on top of the GST.
Lets see how many Australians we can get to band together for a three day
period in April, NOT TO BUY ANY PETROL, during those three days. It will
take a little planning but with a small amount of self sacrifice i.e. ride
your bike to work!) and some solidarity with the Canadian and American
people as well, we have an opportunity to send a real world message where
it's going to hurt the most. If you're happy about seeing your hard earned
dollars stolen by a Middle East Oil Cartel and seeing your own Government
rub its hands together while we're ripped off by them as well.......then do
nothing !!
If you're fed up with the constant rip off by cartels and your Government
tell them directly.
Tell them you've had enough and ..JOIN AUSTRALIA'S GAS OUT. Do not buy any
petrol from APRIL 6,2000, to APRIL 8, 2000.Buy what you need before the
dates listed above, or after, but practice some restraint and put off some
things you were going to do and don't buy any petrol during the GAS OUT. If
you want help, just ask!! And mark these dates in your diary-organiser NOW !
SEND THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW AND ASK THEM TO JOIN IN ... AND DO THE SAME.
(cut and paste, don't use the fwd button). The Americans and the Canadians
achieved a price cut once before and there's no reason why we can't achieve
a similar result if we band together and fight against the people who
profiteer from us. Come on Australia!! Let's stand together!! WE CAN MAKE A
DIFFERENCE!!!!!
Even if you receive this 100 times keep passing it around, this way you know
everyone is being informed and no one will forget!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
