If petrol stations are guilty of gouging, what are other businesses guilty of? A petrol station may buy petrol at the terminal Gate price, and put 10 to 15% on the price and resell it, and other times they may even sell it at less than the price they buy it for. People need to read the financial accounts of all the retail companies that listed on the ASX. Its not uncommon for these companys to be buying goods, and marking them up 100% by the time they hit the customer. Petrol retailers would love to be getting the same markups that all other retailers are getting.
As for Ricky Muir, aint we paying a huge markup for him. Before being elected to parliament, he was only getting circa $60,000 a year, now he expects to be getting $200,000 plus a year. |
