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

I'm sorry, but you're somewhat inconsistent with yourself.

To my question on why Iran was enriching uranium, you're saying that it was "to use it as a pressure technique on the usa". How is that not adding to the problem? Of course it does. Mind you, I'm not picturing Iran as the bad guys and US or Israel as the good guys. Quite the opposite. But you gotta stay true to the facts.

And when later you say "did not plan to build a weapons". Do you have reputable/verifiable references for that? Was it part of Snowden's leaks or something? And you're saying that it did not plan to build weapons, but then still did it?

I ask you to be real here. You can try to bully me of course. But I'm not protecting the US or Israel here. Both of the respective leaders committed numerous crimes and should be stopped. This is important. But it is also true, even if it's less important, that the control over Iranian citizens is in the hands of IRGC and this is bad for everyone. Not that Trump can be a solution to that, but it's hurting. And the "pressure technique" of having nuclear weapons development is also hurting. I, personally, want neither Israel nor Iran to have nuclear weapons - not even remotely.

The nuclear talks and pressure is a facade to avoid talking about the missiles and drones program. I am not inconsistant.

American inteligence prove there is no evidence of iran seeking nukes. It is ridiculous to proof that a plan doesn't exists , the logic is to prove the plan exists

I did not bully you either.

Funny how you talk about sticking to fact while you don't have any fact besides the decision to enrich to 60% did not help protecting Iran as a functional country.

You don't seem to be able to explain why iran respected the jcpoa and kept the enrichement to 60% after Trump Withdraw from the deal if they wanted a nuke
