There are concerns over the Government's fuel relief package missing benefit-dependent households.
It's unveiled a temporary $50 weekly tax credit for about 143 thousand eligible working families with children as the Iran war sends fuel costs rocketing.
Another 14 thousand families will get support at a lower rate.
Green Party Social Development Spokesperson Ricardo Menéndez March told Ryan Bridge beneficiaries are often having to drive and some have kids.
He says it's people who are already struggling to make ends meet.
