It'd be more of a help to more people if they applied that approach to fuel excise.
Fuel's a lot more essential after all.

Labor to stop the biannual rise in draft beer tax if re-elected.
Match it Coalition.
Feul excise doesn't rise biannually.It'd be more of a help to more people if they applied that approach to fuel excise.

It's indexed to CPI twice each year, most recently on 3 February 2025 which lifted the excise rate on petrol and diesel from 50.6 to 50.8 cents per litre.Feul excise doesn't rise biannually.
From memory wasn't it Malcolm Fraser that brought fuel excise in, to help stimulate exploration for new reserves?It's indexed to CPI twice each year, most recently on 3 February 2025 which lifted the excise rate on petrol and diesel from 50.6 to 50.8 cents per litre.
GST applies to that too, so the "real" rate of excise, over and above GST on the actual fuel itself, is 55.88 cents per litre.
Long term according to government itself they spend about 30% of that on roads. The rest is just a tax.
We can only judge people by their actions and Dutton has questions to answer on whether he made a private benefit from privileged information. If Labor or Greens people did similar then they should face similar questions.No wonder it is a struggle to get intelligent and qualified people to take position of leadership in government, no one smart enough would want to be constantly called names in front of their family and friends.
to help stimulate exploration for new reserves?
Yes they all end up in that bag.Or pay for a massive government deficit.
Malcolm and the Liberal Party of the the time bear responsibility for bringing in the refugees from Lebanon's vicious civil war .Malcolm Fraser that brought fuel excise in,
What about the fuel excise?Malcolm and the Liberal Party of the the time bear responsibility for bringing in the refugees from Lebanon's vicious civil war .
This irresponsible move from the right of politics , pointed to trouble ahead when NSW schools in the 1970's were the first to notice , the male children of these unsuitable immigrants , with a nasty attitude to female teachers .
So , can't blame Labor for what looks like , this country's failure to integrate its muslim immigrants . It can only get worse , now . Other countries have failed at it spectacularly too , especially in Europe .
@JohnDe Totally agree with all you say in this post, but all politicians have hides thicker than elephants.I must admit that I have never met the man, so I can't comment on his personality. I could make judgement from his appearances in the media, but they are 5-minute grabs.
It is sad to see Australia fall so far down the ladder that we regularly bash peoples reputation without a fair trial. No wonder our youth march on the streets for nations with rulers like the Hamas, and for separation of state by wanting to create an Aboriginal nation within one that represents all Australians. Rule by division, throw mud before debate on any that has a different opinion.

@sptrawler Back in the day when that tax was brought in the Government new that they going to be sitting on a cash cow. And every Government of the day since realises it.What about the fuel excise?

Hence the constant increase in the excise tax
@sptrawler And to just take the icing off the cake a bit.All I could find from a quick search was wiki.
The Commonwealth introduced a twice yearly indexation for Consumer Price Index of fuel excise taxes in 1983. In 2001, the Howard government adjusted the excise rates because of the introduction of the GST and stopped the automatic indexation of the fuel excise tax.[8]
The second phase of the Australian Fuel Tax Credits Scheme came into effect on 1 July 2008. Under these changes, all off-road business use of fuel became eligible for subsidies. The changes benefited businesses that do not run large vehicle fleets but consume large amounts of fuel in business processes (such as mining, manufacturing, construction, plant operations) became eligible for a fuel tax credit.
The indexation of the fuel excise tax was reintroduced by the Abbott government from 10 November 2014, with indexation being effected twice a year, on 1 February and 1 August.

A Labor insider has unleashed on Anthony Albanese in an extraordinary interview, calling the PM “weak”, “arrogant” and an “ineffectual buffoon”.
1. Tanya is Australia's Kamala Harris.
1/ personal opinion: I think Tanya is a whole lot smarter than Kamala, I have heard some interviews prior to the last election where she seemed actually quite lucent and sensible. Unfortunately she is beholden to the ideological left of the Party, prompting the Kamala-esque infantile lunacy.1. Tanya is Australia's Kamala Harris.
2. I don't think the LGBTIxyz community represents the majority view.
If anything, Labor should take note of the U.S. Don't pander to minorities, do the best for the most people. (Not that Trump is actually doing that, but that's what the people voted for).
She is however someone who said she didn't understand the concept of aspiration. That being so, there'd be some incredible irony if she sought to become party leader.I think Tanya is a whole lot smarter than Kamala, I have heard some interviews prior to the last election where she seemed actually quite lucent and sensible.
Of course it doesn't, although I do think that sizable minority has been gaslighted into advocacy for them.
