Coalition pushes for fuel excise cut amid price crisis
Published 3 weeks, 6 days ago
Description
The Coalition is calling for an immediate halving of the federal fuel excise for three months, which would save motorists 25 cents per litre at the bowser. Opposition Leader Angus Taylor visited a Canberra service station where E10 was selling for $2.47 per litre and diesel at $3.15, proposing to fund the $1.5 billion cost by ending the electric car discount, reversing green hydrogen subsidies and pausing the home battery scheme. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has not ruled out the proposal, stating his government will consider cost of living measures in a responsible budgetary context.
