Regional Western Australia businesses face dire consequences due to skyrocketing diesel prices and shortages. A survey reveals 82% of businesses have experienced supplier price hikes, and 45% are running low on fuel. Owners like Emma Troy of Autotech and Paul Maley of Shelter Brewing are bracing for cost increases, fearing staff cuts and import shortages. Supermarket chain Brindle Group is absorbing freight levies, while waste management is stalled due to diesel price hikes. The Prime Minister and Premier are considering fuel tax cuts and demanding supply details from fuel suppliers. Keep watch on regional shelves and pumps this week, as relief talks could ease the pressure, but businesses warn the worst is yet to come.
