A sudden shift to road user charges may mean a fairer system for all drivers.
Fuel excise tax could be gone —and petrol cars hit with the charges from 2027— under the Government's Revenue Action Plan.
It's also exploring tolling for all new roads, including the Roads of National Significance.
AA Transport Policy Director Martin Glynn told Mike Hosking it amends a system which isn't as efficient as it could be.
He said with vehicles becoming more fuel efficient, a widespread tax will also mean more revenue for the government.
