Fuel is a necessity for modern life, without it we wouldn’t be able to get from A to B with ease. However every time you fill up at the bowser, the tax man puts his hand in your pocket through excessive excise and GST.

Last year, Australians paid over $18,000 million in fuel excise. That is $18,000 million out of the pockets of ordinary, hard-working Australians in order to fund reckless government spending.

The Liberal Democrats believe that fuel excise should be immediately scrapped in order to bring down the cost of living for ordinary Australians.
