My question is to the Treasurer: The government has seen a $50 billion windfall, mainly from Australian mineral and energy export royalties. Yet they are now asking ordinary, hard-working Australians to pay more for fuel with the increase in the excise tax this week. My constituents of Fowler want details of how part of that money will go towards fixing Australia's cost-of-living crisis, which is hitting everyone from students to pensioners and families, especially those in low socioeconomic and regional areas.
