00:00Yeah it's changed the way of living. We don't use the diesel as much as what we
00:04used to. I don't drive that much so it's not too bad for me but it affects more
00:09longer travel with the diesel vehicle for us. I'm aware of it when I'm paying
00:15for it but it hasn't really affected what I'm doing so I'm still doing
00:20everything I normally would. Yeah it's definitely dearer. We think twice
00:27before you go out anywhere at a length and yeah but that's for the actual
00:33budget no. Yeah because of the shortage it's not necessarily the price it's the
00:38actual shortage. We were planning a big trip across to Western Australia going
00:43up the the coastal side and then coming back through the centre and we had to
00:47cancel that with the we've heard that there are trucks even in sitting in the
00:51middle of Western Australia which are waiting a week for fuel and we just
00:56decided that that wasn't going to be a part of the holiday so we've done local
01:00ones instead. It's made a huge impact so much so that we ended up buying an EV
01:06however my husband has a diesel car and so he's still paying them crazy prices.
01:12I've had the EV for about three weeks and it's been so nice just charging it in
01:16your house and not having to go to a petrol station and pay them crazy prices
01:20and saving a bit of money which is good.
01:26Thank you very much.
