Families and small businesses will pay less for fuel because the Coalition led and Albanese followed.
Halving the fuel tax is overdue relief that will take pressure off the cost of living ahead of Easter.
Mar 30
Today we need the Prime Minister to lead and to do these four things.

Chris Bowen says heโs done. Australians say theyโre done, done with unaffordable fuel, done with empty bowsers, done with excuses. Minister, stop pointing fingers and start getting the fuel where it is most needed.
Mar 29
While families are being smashed at the bowser, Laborโs answer is โbuy an EVโ instead of backing immediate relief in slashing the fuel excise.
26c a litre isnโt everything, but itโs a start and weโll keep pushing to make sure you pay less.
Mar 28
Right now, what we need is an immediate tax cut at the bowser and a government that gets fuel to where it is needed.
Mar 27
I am calling on the Government to immediately halve the fuel tax for three months.
It is a simple step that would cut prices by around 26 cents per litre and deliver real relief.
Inflation has already beaten this Government. This crisis is making it worse.
I have suggested specific ways this relief can be responsibly delivered by sensible reprioritisation of other government spending programs.
These include: reversing the Governmentโs green hydrogen subsidies and tax credits and pausing and strengthening controls around the Home Battery Scheme.
We will protect Australiansโ way of life and restore their standard of living.

Weโve asked Anthony Albanese to immediately halve the fuel tax for 3 months.
Weโve also put forward sensible options to fund this measure.
This would provide immediate relief to Australians who are struggling right now.
Mar 27
We have done the work, and put on the table practical action to provide relief to Australians who are struggling right now.

In 2021, One Nation voted with the Greens AGAINST a bill to keep Australian domestic refineries open.
Mar 27
Labor should put petty politics aside and implement our common sense plan to provide relief to Australians at the bowser.
Mar 27
This is a practical, immediate step the Government can take today to ease pressure on Australians being hit by surging fuel prices.
Mar 27
Australians are facing a fuel security crisis, a crisis Labor has failed to take leadership of. Thatโs why Iโm calling on the government to halve the fuel excise tax which will put 26c per litre back in your pocket.
We need affordable petrol, and we need it now.

Weโve also put forward sensible options to fund this measure.
This would provide immediate relief to Australians who are struggling right now.

In 2021, One Nation voted with the Greens AGAINST a bill to keep domestic refineries open and require minimum transport fuel reserves.

Labor says fuel stocks are up, but 500+ servos are empty.
If the supply is there, why isnโt it reaching Australians?
Because itโs not just the servos that are sold out, itโs the Government.
Mar 26
Australians are hurting. Petrol prices are surging and theyโre pulling up at the petrol station to see those yellow plastic tickets saying the bowser is empty.
Meanwhile, the Prime Minister and the Energy Minister are asleep at the wheel, telling us everythingโs fine.
Every Australian whoโs pulled into a petrol station lately knows thatโs not true.
Labor must do better. And they must do it now.
Mar 26
Australians are done with the high prices and uncertainty at the bowser.
Mar 25
Inflation in Australia is higher than in every major advanced economy, and it is being driven by decisions made in Canberra, not just events overseas.
