Like Canada we have vast areas to connect
It is about $1.70 a litre. Some mathamatican (not the Hubble one!) will need to convert that.
There is 38c tax in that + a 10% GST State Tax.
Despite the inflationary impacts of such taxes the government holds on to them


We (or at least Exxon Mobile) have more Natural Gas than we know what to do with.
The government is subsiding car conversions now (two year waiting list) Most Taxis run on gas. Gas is also heavily taxed.

A pity. It would be a great way to de-salinate too.
