**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.
Will certainly take the wind out of the sails of the usual conservative bogan types who have been making a big song and dance about how the gubberment needs to save them from our own over-reliance on oil.
That’s likely the reason yeah, even if it makes the problem worse given it’s mostly a demand side problem (for now). Functionally illiterate conservatives don’t know or care about that, however.
As opposed to the functionally illiterate “progressives” who think their EVs are made using sunshine and wind 🤣🤡
The irony of you not understanding that every single facet of your life relies on oil is just delicious.
How do you figure I don’t understand that?
Because of the comment of yours I replied to.
