Reid says he has put 'Big Oil' on notice
Member for Robertson Dr Gordon Reid has said he has put on notice "The Big Oil Companies" operating on the Central Coast.
Dr Reid said: "Fuel sold in Wyong can be 20-30 cents cheaper than fuel sold at Umina Beach.
"Motorists should not have to travel to Wyong to buy cheap fuel.
"I have written directly to every oil company with service stations in the region and have asked them to explain why our region experiences higher fuel prices.
"To date, only two have responded and have blamed international events for causing higher fuel prices."
The Federal Member of Parliament delivered a speech to the House of Representatives about "the ongoing issue of high fuel prices".
"My speech was about calling out this issue and putting on notice the Big Oil Companies for letting this happen.
Dr Reid said: "I will continue to apply pressure on the Big Oil Companies until our region is treated fairly and with respect."
