It would be even cheaper if we drilled and refined it here instead of importing it

To be honest Senator Malcolm Robert’s, We should be drilling and refining our own oil then you could bring the cost of fuel down to below a dollar.

I think fuel should be free from all taxes, except the GST. That includes import duties and excises. Cheaper fuel means cheaper freight/overheads for business, more visitors to regional areas, boosting tourism. Cheaper transport costs for home owners in outlying towns, takes the pressure off city housing availability. It's too expensive to live in the country, if you work in the city. Just thinking out loud.

Imagine the government looking after its citizens!

Isn't the government taxing fuel at 50c a litre? How about removing the tax altogether as we have already paid tax on that money.

Don't worry they will put more taxes on EV as soon as enough people buy them and tax collection on fewer petrol cars is less. However a reduction on fuel tax would be great with the cost of liveing so high

Imagine 99c. Australia could be self sufficient.

Somewhere back in the 70’s the Australian Government sold us out and decided that we would follow OPEC Petrol Pricing. (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries ) OPEC is a Cartel made up of the Richest Oil Producing Countries in the World, namely Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabi and Venezuela. At the time Australia was producing around 80%of our own oil. Over the years pretty much all our Petroleum Refineries have been closed down. The Australian Government benefits from the higher price with all the Taxes and Levies they put on fuel. THIS WAS NEVER IN THE BEST INTEREST OF AUSTRALIANS

Still would not be cheap enough.. abolish ALL tax/excise on fuels..

It's still 50cents cheaper than that around the corner from me in Lawnton qld. The local Liberty do their best to keep their prices much lower than the rest around the area. What I don't understand is why the government hasn't investigated the practice of the mainstream petrol stations having their prices all changed by their head office.. not the individual retailer. This means the main office.. controls ALL of the pricing. If that was another retailer like woolies doing that same price gouging practice by making the inner city stores 10%more expensive over the suburbs, there would be an uproar and the government would step in. It's VERY clear to us the people that be energy is a law unto itself. Whether it fuel or electricity. BOTH are essential items and BOTH are left alone by the government to do as they please consistently taking every cent us hard workers have to spare.

Lower fuel costs = lower inflation & lower cost of living.

it is still insane. it should be around $1.5 for premium. there is no reason its anywhere near $2!

It's only that high because of greed we live north of Brisbane and pay atleast 45c a litre less all the time .

I got Petrol for 167.9 in Mitcham (Vic), every where else is between 175.0 up to 209.0. Insane that all petrol should be at the same price not difference prices in difference suburbs, this just Insane. Especially when same company.

Better off spending more on roads like the tax was originally promised instead of general revenue

seeing high fuel prices isn't what pisses me off. seeing it go from 1.65 to 2.15 is what pisses me off.

Shouldn’t be any tax on any form of energy

They are making lpg hybrid cars that do 1600 ks to a tank (as we give our lpg to over seas for very little) wake up Australia they are closing down lpg in garages not giving us the opertunity with an infrastructure already in place (looks like someone has jumped the gun and not done there home work lpg was promoted as the cleanest fuel

It's sadly not enough...

It is if you're not in Brisbane! You're paying around 30 to 40 cents per litre more than we are in Maryborough! I drive a truck to Brisbane every day I can't believe the price difference!

Should be producing our own oil and fuels! Resource rich nation that being utilised by nobody except the foreign corporations raping and pillaging the joint.

What a rip-off. I paid 169.9/litre just 2 days ago. All down to competition between the big players.

Not forgetting that at least 50 cents a litre is fuel excise that was added in the 1970’s as a temporary measure to fix the roads and negate the need for toll roads. (sort of like how federal tax was introduced as a temporary measure to fund the First World War). Ever get that feeling we live in a tax farm?

Only 26 cents 😆 you can do so much better than that.

Imagine ,refining the oil we already pull out of the ground how self sufficient this country would be especially in times of war we wouldn’t have to rely on ships bringing us fuel

Labour has got to go add the greens to that list

Australia is starting to look like pre war Germany. All the same signs but nobody can see who is lurking in the shadows, grabblers everywhere

Unfortunately it has been going for years senator do not forget the good old Barbara holbrow and justice Murphy who both screwed with the juvenile system where they said kids had rights over parents

Only a few good guys left. Thank you.

Where were you on the Hate Speech Bill? Prime example of overreach

Comrade Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese by Trevor Loudon

Look into the family law court system. It's an absolute shocker

I cannot understand why anyone cant see what's coming!!

This has been happening for ages and what have your mob done about it previously SFA ? Now just seems like vote getting !

Family court is against Men and dad's, it's very biased

Sa government Colin manock 2.0 human rights abuses with no human rights act high court has taught them nothing

Good for you Malcolm 

The governments over reach is in everything and pretty sure alot of bills and laws past must be voted on by the taxpayers

The usual W ⚓'s will still laugh at this post.

Interesting times ahead?

Baseless cooker BS

What is your plan to address Parental Alienation and reverse the weaponisation of the Family Court, particularly against Fathers???

👏👏👏👏🧡🧡

Whilst your policies are admirable the sad fact is that either Labor or Liberal will win the election. One Nation and all other minor parties have zero chance of influencing policy.

they already have control. People are forced by government mandates to stick poison needles in their children, and they do it to get access to what is their own money paid as taxes. So we are already slaves to the pharma mafia via their pet politicians.

Is that why you fucked the family court system and has hundreds of experienced people leave the job as a result?

Bit hypocritical coming from a Party that calls parents of transgender children child abusers.

why they built the camp for covid

Simple start... First.. Mandatory parent DNA testing at child birth before the alleged father signs the papers.. Second. Bring back AT FAULT DIVORCE. Third. Male parent alienation must stop except on extreme circumstances. Fourth. The use by some women, of the Duluth model to oust the male from the home must stop. Good luck.

Will someone bring it up to albo that trump just signed federal papers stating no more child hood mandated vaccines,he said it’s upto to the parents,trump acknowledges the corruption the Autism,the heavy metals ,toxic chemicals,trump don’t work for big pharma let’s hope albo ain’t getting paid off by big pharma
