Regional areas will be hit hardest by the price rises, as more fuel is required to transport goods further distances from metropolitan distribution centres.

“The cost of fuel and fertiliser is flowing through the supply chain, and we’re going to see in metro areas probably a 2 or 3 per cent increase across the board,” market analyst and director of Episode 3, Matt Dalgleish, said.

"We’re seeing record prices for diesel, and that’s what most of Australia’s freight runs on.

“In regional areas it could get higher, maybe 10 per cent, depending on how remote the area is and how stretched the supply chain is.”

      Why is Iranian’s military side, IRGC, enriching uranium then? You’re not gonna deny that are you?

      EDIT: Just in case I wanna clarify. I find the egocentric asshole (Trump) as stupid as you probably do. His actions were unplanned, and he only ever pursues his own benefit, and not anyone else’s. Whatever he says should be taken with literally 0 weight if one is looking for the truth. But I insist that you cannot wave away that Iran does have a nuclear program. I wish adults would handle the problem, not Trump, but the problem does exist.

        American inteligence said iran did not plan to build a weapons. Iran respected the jcpoa then when Trump teared up they increased to 60% to use it as a pressure technique on the usa. It takes few weeks to move from 60% to 90% yet they stayed at 60% for several years.

        Since the day Iran got rid of the west puppet the shah the west was bullying Iran. The west claim that sanctions are about human rights ehich of course Iran is one of the most oppressive regime but the reality is all about Iran opposion to Israel colonial expansion.

        Europe, Canada and Australia are far from the adults in the room. Yes they was not stupid enough to bomb Iran but stupid enough to think imposing additional sanctions after the war ia going to make Iran surrender when both Israel and the USA want to destroy Iran as a functional state
