FED:Temporary fuel tax cut likely to remain temporary

Australia's temporary fuel excise cut, which has brought down petrol prices, is likely to remain just that, federal Energy Minister Chris Bowen says.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has neither ruled out nor confirmed he will extend the measure, which has reduced the cost of petrol and diesel by 26.3 cents a litre.
