How about remove the excise entirely - there’s still GST. Then remove all excise taxes while you’re at it. After all GST is a tax on a tax.

Dutton  started saying that about a week ago but I know Pauline and you announced it two weeks ago. Funny that major parties can't come up with anything new. 

Senator Roberts. Will you do a review of all of the taxes that Aussies are forced to pay. Out of every 100 dollars an Aussie earns, how much eventually goes to the government in taxes? PAYE, GST, fuel, etc Eliminate stamp duty completely. The government has no right to tax you again for buying something with your already taxed dollars. Then, will you consider how to trim at least 50% of public servants by eliminating unnecessary rules and regulations and generally, making life simpler for Aussies. Can you develop an overall strategy that can reduce the taxes an Aussie pays to 50% or less of what he is paying today? Get rid of other taxes like inheritance tax as well. Why should the state take a huge slice of your already overtaxed assets when you die? It's time to unravel the mess in Australia and make it an affordable place to live.

Diesel would be beneficial too to reduce transportation costs

Now how do you plan to do that? And make up for any losses! Anyone can say let's do this and do that but you need to plan it out and work the plan!

What is the price of Oil now verses 5 years ago and how does that correlate to today's both points in time Fuel Pricing. Or are we missing something???

The best way to stimulate the economy is to cut the price of inelastic demand goods and services. Great job One Nation 👏

Still not good enough as the rich don't care how much they pay it's only the slaves that don't question why it doesn't go back to what a barrel is worth

If the companies don’t pass on the full cut what can a government do?

Road tax needs to go to roads. Taxes should be called according to where they are spent. Fuel excise should be called woops we overpaid on catering.

That’s like only doing half a shit. I don’t know about you but I like to have the full shit happening. Get rid of the excise all together and fund it from cutting all the over the top wages in the shit show circus. And maybe you to can enjoy a full shit, not just a half with the close tight ass cheek to cut the log in half.

Nothing will Happen, only Broken Promises!! Same story every Election!!

Remove the excise and while your there take the GST off it to We are taxed on tax

Only one way to make fuel cheaper for longer: stop the switch to renewables

Anyone with a brain will realise that but as we have realised in the last few years majority of Australians don't have one .

I think you should replace that to. TO by. 🍻👍

What a crock, remember the last one

Senator Malcolm Roberts needs to be permanent and reduced by 50 cents a litre the u.s is only paying $3.00 per GALLON thats 3.72 litres per $3.00

why havent they done it yrs ago

Sounds like a great idea... however how do you mandate it .... where I live I'm still paying over $2 for the petrol and diesel ⛽️ Tried to bring this to the consumers and was told ..... tough sh it they can do as they please

Is your policy to permanently reduce it?

What about E85 85% ethanol fuel Senator Malcolm Roberts will this fall under that?

Tax tax tax... the easy way to fund idelogical agendas

Thankyou for coming to our recent meeting and supporting all the communities affected by this issue - not just Samford. We are grateful for the questions you have taken to senate estimates on our behalf. 🙏

Thank you for your tireless efforts Malcolm. I hope you met with Ven Grasso on this issue. He's a longtime Samford local fighting this cause. All we seem to do these days is fight trying not to be poisoned.

It appears that fire ants are getting a leg up by the albanese government that was recently saying biosecurity is a big thing for them. The war on Australian farming is going to plan & nobody has the guts to say it as it is. Thankyou Malcolm Roberts for referring to it.

Brilliant Mal, keep on em mate. It hasn't escaped country folks notice that a LOT of pests have "mysteriously" entered Australia and a magic chemical just happens to be newly available and contracted into Gov't programmes. We have worked HARD to keep Australia's farms and environment in globally enviable condition. It's easy to think we have been sold out after successive ignorant "leadership".

Do you know what the non-chemical treatments are? I made the mistake of requesting a treatment only to end up having them being continuously delivered to me. 😯

Thank you Senator Malcolm Roberts for highlighting this. Same with the varroa mite programme where they killed bee populations.. this also failed miserably. It seems that these bureaucracies follow what is dictated to them from so called ‘experts’ who often have links to other vested interests. It’s a pity that they can’t use their brains to work out a better solution instead

No ants at my place, all others gone too, along with beetles., Apparently $15000 fine if they're stopped. Last application, my bird died, fumes maybe, I don't know she was perfectly fine the day before. I hate what is happening, the destruction all over Australia with this filthy grubment.

Thankyou thankyou Malcolm for your tireless efforts on our behalf... blessings on you for a full and overflowing cup of courage and integrity, energy and focus.

Thank you Senator Malcolm Roberts and also Hugh for taking time to come to our meetings and speak out in the senate

Will the floods spread them ?

If they stopped spreading them they might disappear.. have those videos gone missing of workers spreading nests or we can’t talk about it … another money wasted government program killing everything but the target

Thank you for the voice of reason in this discussion. I’m from Texas and we eradicated fire ants from every location we lived by following personal best procedures depending on the location. Never was it ever determined that any aerosols would eradicate fire ants. Only a couple granules on the top of an undisturbed nest killed the queens internally.

Thank you Senator Malcolm Roberts for your continued support of the community and for reliably showing up at the grassroots. We appreciate you 🙏🏽🙏🏽 xxx K.

Thankyou they are bullying and harassing home owners that do not have any Fire Ants. I am sick to death of seeing their trucks it seriously gives me PTSD when I see a van headed into our Valley again. They treated our front yard without permission last year, they recently tried to tell our neighbour that we were ok with having our front yard treated as we had been treated before. Thankfully my neigbour knew that was BS and called me, I told them I was on my way home from work and they left.

Got bit a couple of years back, on my western district farm, savage little b,,,,,ds, had a reaction immediately, ant ibiotics, worked, couple of phone calls, no real interest 🤔

Fine example

My question is how did these bloody things get in the country in the first place?

1 billion wasted one would ask who owns and makes said chemicals and if you join the dots the vested interests would be known.

Typical of the bloody minded ignorant bureaucrats, just like they stuffed up with the varoa mite.

Mat.....my daughter worked for a short time at the Dept. and they 'workers' there were incredibly inefficient to the point of totally frustration to the 'men on the ground'. The problem does not simply lie with any poisons used.

follow the money, it cant be that hard. who profits from this ? i bet the greens are behind thus

It's a simple concept really. Why would you actually work to put yourself out of a job??. A Billion spent and ineffective... it is easy to see what is really happening.

Thank you.They are poisoning the land

As a primary producer the biggest hurdle is that we need a effective bait suitable for wet weather conditions.

Usual debacle and totally ineffective
