## Resource

Fuel prices are set to stay lower longer as the government considers extending the fuel excise cut — despite it being originally meant to end June 30th and costing over $2 billion so far. With global oil markets still unsettled due to Middle East tensions, even hints of peace won’t immediately ease prices. Prime Minister Albanese says a decision is imminent after cabinet talks, while the opposition urges patience, watching prices before reacting. For now, Australians are breathing easier at the pump — but the relief may not last long. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
