Government won’t cut fuel excise

In a move that has shocked no-one, except possibly Today Tonight and A Current Affair, the PM has said the government would not cut fuel excise to reduce petrol prices because it would lose them too much money.

But he says it would cost the Government $380 million to cut the excise by just 1c a litre, and motorists would want a cut of at least 5c to 10 c a litre.
