Senator Grassley, Congressmen King and Paul.

Gentlemen. You should truly have a CONGRESSIONAL HEARING on these High Oil Prices, and NON REPORTING OF THE NEWS to We, the People.

Judging from this email from Australia..-- It appears HURRICANES are tearing Australia's Oil Refinery's up also..because they are experiencing the same outrageous HIGH OIL PRICES as we here in the U.S. of A.

Do you have explanations as to why the News Media's are not reporting the DEVASTATING HURRICANES IN AUSTRALIA? Or is this just another load of BULL being "shipped" out on all the people who are paying through the nose for gas, and groceries, and utilities..and the list goes on, and on, and on...

When are you going to get to the bottom of this OIL PRICE GOUGING...?

Please read the following affixed email..and you will find the information regarding HIGH OIL PRICES and the reason WHY down in Australia.

OUTRAGEOUS FUEL PRICES.

Not-so-honest Johnny Howard is blaming high crude oil prices for the high petrol prices at the pump.

What he is not telling us is the following:

Excise duty of 37 cents per litre at the pump.

Plus GST of 10%, at the pump.

Plus State Tax of 8 cents per litre, in NSW and Victoria, at the pump.

In my calculations, that makes it three separate taxes on one item, at the pump!

If that’s not illegal, it’s gotta be close!
