Camberra skims AU$0.423 per Litre in fuel excise , so do not think rrp will drop much below AU$1 regardless of bulk crude
The federal government collects taxes and excises, not 'Camberra' or even Canberra.

Merely a colloquial form in character with Australian standard national laconic style ( common in UK as well ie " Downing Street = residence & office of the Prime Minister ) - nothing to get precious about - as for the typo , probably got distracted by other issues like the town power outage , that was very very untimely ( town meaning my town of residence )

This reminds me of when we (the firm I worked for) used to type up the transcripts for Mobil's (?) yearly meetings. The participants were all multi-millionaires and didn't get where they were by participating in price wars. The chairwoman apologised at the start of one meeting because they weren't able to book the Sheraton where they usually stayed and they had to settle for the Hyatt, as though it was a third-rate hotel in a back alley. I can't remember what they talked about but I do remember they hated one independent who had enough money that he wasn't relying on selling petrol for an income and just kept the prices down to keep the others honest (or possibly to annoy them).

I have been paying 96.9 so would not expect it to be any cheaper.
Have seen some servos charging $1.49 when 5 minutes around the corner is under $1
