The Temporary Fuel Discount Ends Soon You’re Fkn Telling Me These Have Been The Cheap Prices?

The federal government’s temporary excise on fuel is set to end on September 29 and Treasurer Jim Chalmers doesn’t reckon it will cause petrol prices to go bananas. I’ll believe it when I see it, babe. The fuel excise has made the cost of petrol 22 cents cheaper per litre for customers, but it was only meant to be a short-term fix. The former Coalition government introduced it earlier this year after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine made global oil prices go bonkers, so Scott Morrison 

“Industry estimates that there [will] be more than 700 million litres of lower excise fuel in the system when the fuel excise is reintroduced.

“This is 700 million reasons why the price should not shoot up by the full 23 cents on the night that the excise relief ends.”

Ok, you can’t tell me Chalmers didn’t rehearse that “700 million reasons” zinger in the mirror at least 27 times before fronting the presser. He would’ve been so bloody chuffed with that Ed Sheeran-esque line.
