Show Notes
Australias federal government is considering further cost-of-living relief for households in the upcoming budget, focusing on fuel prices that have surged due to global supply squeezes. Infrastructure Minister Catherine King suggests the possibility of extending the three-month fuel excise cut and securing petrol and diesel supplies from Australias top source. Despite initial tax breaks, fuel prices remain high, prompting King to defend tax perks for electric vehicle leases and emphasize the need to promote electrification without disincentives. A new ad campaign, every little bit helps, launches to inform the public about fuel conservation and the national fuel security plan, while critics argue for prioritizing import securing over advertising.
