After a month into this crisis, it’s astonishing that this government is still making it up as they go.
Labor’s proposal to expand parliament is simply out of touch.

This is more spending, more bureaucracy, and more pressure on the budget at exactly the wrong time.
Analysis from the Parliamentary Budget Office shows that expanding the Parliament could cost taxpayers more than $620 million, including salaries, staff, travel and office costs.
The last thing Australians need in a cost-of-living crisis is more taxpayer money spent on more politicians, at the expense of families struggling with rising fuel, grocery and housing costs.
The answer to Australia's challenges is not more politicians. Anthony Albanese wants to spend $620 million of your money to have dozens more politicians in Canberra.
Our natural resources are one of Australia’s greatest strengths, and it’s time we used them. 

I’m 100% committed to reversing the damage Labor has done to our mining and energy sectors, which is critical to restoring Australians’ standard of living.

Under a Coalition Government we will dig, drill and pay down the debt bill.
Australians will pay less for fuel because the Coalition led and the government followed. But the government still has no plan to get fuel to where it is needed and it hasn’t ruled out heavy handed mandates.
Finally, Labor has taken our advice and halved the fuel excise tax. It’s a step in the right direction, but it raises another big question, why is the Prime Minister always the last to lead in a national crisis?
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.
Today we need the Prime Minister to lead and to do these four things.
Chris Bowen says he’s done. Australians say they’re 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.
While families are being smashed at the bowser, Labor’s answer is “buy an EV” instead of backing immediate relief in slashing the fuel excise.

26c a litre isn’t everything, but it’s a start and we’ll keep pushing to make sure you pay less.
Right now, what we need is an immediate tax cut at the bowser and a government that gets fuel to where it is needed.
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 Government’s green hydrogen subsidies and tax credits and pausing and strengthening controls around the Home Battery Scheme.
 
We will protect Australians’ way of life and restore their standard of living.
We’ve asked Anthony Albanese to immediately halve the fuel tax for 3 months.

We’ve also put forward sensible options to fund this measure.

This would provide immediate relief to Australians who are struggling right now.
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.
Labor should put petty politics aside and implement our common sense plan to provide relief to Australians at the bowser.
