- Description
A man is squeezed between two huge trucks, one representing fuel companies and the other the dairy industry. He gasps and says that he feels 'so much more comfortable now' that he realises that 'one's frozen'. Context - Retail fuel prices rose 5 cents per litre on 1 March in response to a sharp climb in oil prices a week earlier. Since the last pump price rise on 16 February, the price of oil rose from US$103/barrel to US$113/barrel, and it continues to climb due to the political crisis in Libya which is a major oil exporter. While fuel prices are up across most of the country, the oil companies have not raised prices in Christchurch and don't plan to do so for the foreseeable future. Fonterra has frozen the wholesale domestic price of milk. After a week of negative media coverage about skyrocketing milk prices, Fonterra said yesterday that its consumer products division would freeze wholesale domestic milk prices for the rest of the year.
