Description

Australia’s ski resorts are basking in record-breaking July heat as temperatures soar past 11°C, while global oil prices spike due to Middle East tensions, pushing diesel costs up 15 cents a litre in just five days. Economists warn fuel prices could climb another 10 cents, with oil potentially hitting $150 a barrel if conflict escalates. Compounding the squeeze, Australia’s fuel excise cut expires August 2nd, adding 16 cents at the pump—leaving motorists bracing for higher bills as the nation faces a dual challenge of warm weather and rising energy costs.
