I think I spotted where the #LNP got the idea to reduce the fuel excise.

It's a One Nation (#ONP) policy, except they're proposing doing it for longer.

> Halve the fuel excise to 26 cents per liter for 3 years with a review after 12 months, with the option to extend further.

Seems a reasonable proposal on the surface… BUT:

1. it'll take a while for it to make a difference to those who don't actually pay a fuel excise (e.g. the #carfree community and the #ev community)
2. you risk putting greater demand on fossil fuels, which given the meagre reserves we have and the impact emissions are having on our #climate, seems like a bad choice

Maybe the fuel excise should be going into projects that improve the green space and help offset some of these emissions?

Pauline Hanson's One NationCost of Living MeasuresOne Nation’s comprehensive Cost of Living Measures tackle the financial pressures faced by Australians with immediate, targeted solutions. From slashing electricity bills by 20% through changes to the National Electricity Market to halving the fuel excise and reducing freight costs, these policies bring relief to households and businesses alike. Tax reforms, including raising the tax-free threshold and enabling income splitting for families, provide additional financial support, while healthcare measures like boosting Medicare rebates and cracking down on fraud ensure accessible, affordable care. These initiatives address immediate cost pressures and lay the foundation for long-term economic stability and efficiency.

Imagine electing a government, and then the government tells the media/public "we're not going to tell you what we're planning to do with the mandate you gave us"
