It's now being widely reported that Dutton will tonight announce plans to halve the fuel excise tax.
It will become effective immediately if the LNP wins the election and be reviewed after 12 mths.
The fuel tax was last cut by the Morrison government during COVID.
Unlike Labor's tiny 2026 tax cuts, it will provide immediate relief of an average of $14 per week per vehicle.
Struggling commuting families will receive a huge benefit.
The other positive is that fuel cost is a major input cost for business, and small to large businesses will benefit.
Fuel costs affect every aspect of the supply chain, and lowering costs will have a deflationary effect on prices lowering inflation and interest rates.
If this goes ahead as predicted it will blow the ALP 2026 70c a day tax cut to the shithouse.
@JEChalmers@SenatorWong Repeal tax bribe of .70c a day but if reports are true, intends to halve fuel excise tax saving families far more than .70c per day whilst also structurally attacking transport costs on everything, reducing cost of living directly and indirectly. Sounds great news to me.
@RealJamesWoods Geez .... as an Aussie I'm appalled by the behaviour of this arrogant influencer who claims to be a qualified animal environmentalist. Don't you yanks have more suitable wildlife to screw around with, like how about she tries this in her own back yard with a grizzly cub.
My speech at the UN Human Rights Council about their recent report on Israel on behalf of the @UNWatch :
I ask the UN, the Arab League, and everyone who had waving the Palestinian flag since October 7:
Where is the flag of Yemen?
In my country, half a million people have died in the last 10 years.
The biggest famine and humanitarian crisis in modern history.
Why does no one care when half a million Yemenis die?
What about Sudan? In less than two years, more than 150,000 people have been killed.
Where is the Sudanese flag?
What about Syria?
Half a million people were killed.
Where is the Syrian flag?
High Commissioner, why is it that when Arabs kill millions of Arabs, no one bats an eye?
Where is the outrage?
Where are the protests?
High Commissioner, may I ask why your report mentions Israel 188 times — yet fails to mention the Islamic Republic in Iran even once?
How can you speak about the conflict while ignoring the party who armed, trained, and funded the terror proxies — Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis — who have been bombing Israel thousands of times?
Why don’t you mention that the Houthis in Yemen have spent millions of dollars firing missiles at Israel, instead of feeding my starving people?
And why is Qatar sitting here as a member of the Human Rights Council when they host the Hamas terror leaders in luxury hotels?

Their response?
Silence.
@cheryl_kernot@QandA Well if I were Jewish I'd be unloading on Albo and his ALP anti semitic cronies, as well, irrespective of whatever role I played in public life. Old Hawkey would be rolling in his grave with the recent performances of sleazy and Wong. Back to irrelevance Cheryl..where you belong.
I was the first Governor in the country to kick Communist China off our farmland and out of our state.
Arkansas is going to continue to lead and put America First!
@AustralianJA Never heard of her. I am not Jewish .. I identify as a Zionist as I believe and love MY small part of Aust and would defend it with my life. I support Israel and all its peoples, however they identify, in defending THEIR land. From the river to the sea, Palestine will never be !
@laurence_pratt@briez63 Simon the hack ..... the apple didn't fall far from the tree. Australia's greatest con family who destroyed so many Australian lives along their pathway of greed. If only the media exposed the decades of fraud. People need to do some research on these crims.
