My question is to the Treasurer. Treasurer, your government ignored my calls last term to halve the fuel excise to ease the cost of living for families and small businesses. Now, petrol and diesel are surging towards $3 a litre, yet, your government is still taking $27 billion in fuel excise from struggling Australians. Why won't you halve the excise to provide immediate relief and curb inflation, like the previous government did? Surely there's never been a more critical time to act.
