**In short: **
The government has halved the fuel excise, reducing the cost of petrol and diesel by 26.3 cents a litre for three months.
The heavy road user charge will also be reduced to zero for the same period, taking pressure off truck drivers and transport costs.
This is a dumb take. No one who wasn’t already hoarding is going to start hoarding because of this discount.
By your logic the government should have doubled the fuel excise lol. Make it more expensive so it’s not hoarded.
Its basic supply and demand and well established
That’s what the market prices are for. The taxes are for raising revenue and encouraging long-term behavioral change.
