Govt announces halving of fuel excise for 3 months

[onetrack]

The Govt has announced the halving of the fuel excise for 3 months as a way of easing the pain of major price increases in fuel costs. This means that the price of fuel should drop by 26c litre at the bowser.

 

Nothing has been outlined as to how the Govt plans to ensure that the full amount of the fuel excise drop is passed on to motorists, and how they can stop oil companies from keeping a portion of it for themselves.

There will still be a lot of whingers. Whinging is much easier than thinking  and finding out what is really going on. Bl@@dy Hell. If things got really BAD you'd go deaf from the whining.. People are Being Bombed in the ME..FFS. Nev

To hopefully reduce the demand for fuels, Jacinta Allen has announced that Victorian Public Transport will be free for one month.

Well, atm that equals 23c on not sure if he was talking about diesel or petrol as he didn't say that l could see.

Butttt, better than nothing eh. Ofc fuels just gonna keep going up anyway that 23c will be on the price anyway by end of wk but it should still be cheaper at whatever price it gets to.

Pm also reckons we have more fuel in the country now than we did 3wks ago at the start of this so if so we should be right for awhile yet then.

There's a lot of extra stuff in it to help truckies to so that was good to hear, farmers to then l'd assume.

IF you'd listened to Question time today you'd have all the details. Albo even acknowledged Barnaby's contacting him to get something fixed and suggested others do the Same IF they become aware of Individual Problems. BTW you won't read about that in the Murdoch RAGs
