Simeon Brown is proposing a fuel tax increase of 12 cents to hit in 2027 - the same amount Labour suggested through gradual increases by mid-2026.

Another day, another round of vindictive and regressive policy from this government.

  • registrations going up
  • fuel tax going up
  • public and active transport slashed by $1bn
  • 15 new, uncosted roads announced

Remember when these guys campaigned on the cost of living?

    I know many tradies mate, they all use vans except one, and he complains constantly about his Ute.

    I also make deliveries, would never use a Ute. Van is the way to go.

    Besides, none of this addresses the point. None of the ones I’m talking about are not trade/family vehicles. I see mum’s dropping kids off, bank people and REAs driving to a showing all the time. None of these need a massive fucking Ute that never carries anything or goes off-road.
