Angus Taylor (Hume, Liberal Party, Leader of the Opposition) Share this | Hansard source

Correct, Mr Speaker, and the Treasurer stated that our proposal, written in my letter to the Prime Minister—my personal letter to the Prime Minister—to provide an urgent fuel excise relief to Australians, did not include a reduction in the heavy vehicle road user charge. This statement by the Treasurer is incorrect. In the letter I wrote to the Prime Minister—I personally wrote to the Prime Minister last week—I outlined our proposal to slash the road user charge. I seek leave to table my letter—my personal letter—to the Prime Minister, which will show the lengths this government will go to, to mislead Australians on their fuel security failures.

Leave not granted.
