Liberal candidate for Macquarie, Mike Creed, has praised plans unveiled by Peter Dutton in his Budget reply to provide a 50% cut to fuel excise for 12 months.
The cut would reduce excise from 50.8 cents to 25.4 cents per litre as part of a Dutton Liberal Government’s plan to ease cost-of-living pressures.
The excise cut would be introduced on the first sitting day of the next Parliament, allowing the relief to come into effect as quickly as possible.
“The excise cut promised by the Liberal team has the potential to bring important and much-needed cost-of-living relief to hard-working families,” said Mike Creed.
“A local household filling up once a week would see an average benefit of around $700-750 over the year.
“The cut would be of particular value to Blue Mountains and Hawkesbury residents, with so many getting behind the wheel for both work and leisure.
“Our plan to slash fuel excise is in complete contrast with Labor’s Budget which failed to deal with the economic challenges facing Australia.
“Labor’s Budget was just another example of how out of depth and weak Anthony Albanese is as Prime Minister.”
