The reason for the lower price of fuel in Brisbane is that apparently the Canbera government tax fuel but also allow the states and territories to further tax fuel if they so desire. The Queensland government choose not to tax it's people.
So I was told.

"Qld petrol is subject to an 8 cent rebate from the state government"
I thought it was a federal thing, but its State
The Queensland government choose not to tax it's people as much as the others.
