The Big Oil Companies operating on the Central Coast have been put on notice in Parliament House.
The Federal Member for Robertson, Dr Gordon Reid MP, delivered a speech to the House of Representatives concerning the ongoing issue of high fuel prices affecting the Central Coast.
“I am committed to continuing to shine a light on the price of fuel on the Central Coast,” Dr Reid said.
“I am also concerned about the variation in prices across the Central Coast, where fuel sold in Wyong can be 20-30 cents cheaper than fuel sold at Umina Beach.
“My speech in the House of Representatives was about calling out this issue and putting on notice the Big Oil Companies for letting this happen.
“Motorists on the Central Coast should not have to travel to Wyong to buy cheap fuel.
“I have written directly to every oil company with service stations in the region and have asked them to explain why our region experiences higher fuel prices.
“To date, only two have responded and have blamed international events for causing higher fuel prices.
“I will continue to apply pressure on the Big Oil Companies until our region is treated fairly and with respect”, Dr Reid said.
