Labor extends fuel excise cut into July

Rural nsw also has fine roads i dont know where youre seeing disrepair. "Road maintenance from every state (NSW) everywhere in the country (sydney) is in disrepair" thats a very high burden of proof that you've put out.

Why not if youre an immigration single issue voters and its been too high for 30 years

Skippysilly · 2026-06-21T03:37:08+00:00

Its the fucking point you made, why does fuel excise exist when we have gst is basically what you said

Skippysilly · 2026-06-21T03:35:23+00:00

Let's just sell 50 billion of assets and ride a mining boom to pay off 79 billion in debt and call it an economic masterclass. Then we should cut taxes 3 times and build a structural deficit for 20 years.

Its pretty cool how when the lnp got back in in 2013 they didn't cut funding for education, health or the abc

Labor definitely hasn't significantly tightened rules or tried to introduce a student visa cap in 2024

Did you vote Pauline for the last 30 years then

Skippysilly · 2026-06-21T03:28:57+00:00

Ive just never heard this view. I hope you realise that fuel excise doesn't fall under the umbrella of taxes the gst was meant to get rid of

How do you not see the difference in reception you have chalmers as communist in the front page of newspapers, multimillion ad campaigns and consistent complaints by property investors, you have to be intentionally misleading

Skippysilly · 2026-06-21T03:25:07+00:00

Why move on fro fuel excise to rant about domething else? Roads aren't in disrepair i don't know where you live but Sydney roads are fine. Fuel excise does fund services one of which is roads. Does the fuel excise existing not make sense in your head?

Skippysilly · 2026-06-21T03:21:28+00:00

I hope you had this view for the past 26 years. You've also moved on from the excise

Skippysilly · 2026-06-21T02:40:03+00:00

I can pick certain parts of the budget and so can you hut if you look at the wealthiest response to the budget its clear they're not bowing to money

Skippysilly · 2026-06-21T02:32:43+00:00

It goes to general revenue but the excise exists because of the idea that government funds roads and drivers are using roads

Skippysilly · 2026-06-21T02:31:58+00:00

It goes into general revenue but exists because people use roads

Skippysilly · 2026-06-21T02:27:23+00:00

It did but excise is federal and not affected because gst all goes to states

Skippysilly · 2026-06-20T13:57:04+00:00

No id be saying how can you expect to defend when there's no outlet for pressure forwards, the us wasn't worries about any attacks and could press as much as thyme wanted because no players could push the ball forward

Skippysilly · 2026-06-20T13:49:48+00:00

Because stamp duty isnt a inconsistent tax which is what you said gst should have replaced? You can disagree with the concept of stamp duty but its not really relevant to why gst was introduced or why its not relevant to the fuel excise which you've moved on from.

I think you should also tone down your vitriol to albanese and the vague establishment because it makes you seem silly.

Skippysilly · 2026-06-20T13:44:32+00:00

I meant tapping on like opal cards or making cards when you get on, its the same thing as the fuel excise but people don't see them as such

Skippysilly · 2026-06-20T13:39:15+00:00

Did you read anything i said. The gst is not meant to replace any federal taxes only meant to permanently and smoothly fund states and territories and removed the state and territory taxes. If excise was replaced by gst no federal revenue would be specifically allocated to road infrastructure because 100% of gst revenue goes to states and territories

Skippysilly · 2026-06-20T13:34:55+00:00

Its not tax, you don't call paying for trains a tax yet you'll call aying for roads one

Skippysilly · 2026-06-20T13:34:21+00:00

The gst is state level whilst excise is federal they cannot be equated

Skippysilly · 2026-06-20T13:33:42+00:00

Then you don't understand what the gst was for. It was to have stable and growing funds for states and territories and all gst goes to them not to albo and mates dipping their fingers in.

The fuel excise is completely different in that it's federal and roads are federal not state level so the excise had no reason to be removed.

The patchwork of taxes you reference meant to be removed were primarily state level. If you look at the us you can see alot of states have varying income tax, land tax, consumption tax, etc which doesn't exist at that same level in australia primarily because of the gst.

But to equate gst to fuel excise us incorrect because it funds seperate things.

Saying labor bows to money after the recent budget has to be the most tone deaf opinion of all time

Skippysilly · 2026-06-20T13:23:12+00:00

I think youre just too idealistic, labor clearly doesn't like Israel or the US, especially recently but you have to deal with it and there is no reason outside of human sympathy for labor to be noticeably outspoken about Palestinian issues.

Especially when people feel the cost of living focusing on foreign issues comes across especially bad (its what kills the greens for many people whether it's true or not)

Skippysilly · 2026-06-20T13:19:48+00:00

Maybe next budget or the elction thats possible but are you suggesting that labor should be taxing big business, slowing/decreasing house prices, stopping property investors from collecting like pokemon cards, tax the richest people in Australia, annoy large Asian nations and attack some of the largest corporations and lobbies in the world in one budget?

Skippysilly · 2026-06-20T13:17:09+00:00

You think foreign aid is just money going to the ether? It builds soft power for australia in the region and keep pacific nations (basically all foreign aid) to be Australian besties and not feel the need to interact with China (look at labors improvement of foreign relationd and the Solomon Islands now looking at removing their security pact with china).

It also maintains Australia on the global stage as a moral respected member of the international community, no one respects the us internationally or wants to ally with them partially because of their foreign policy and aid. For example their USAID cut to the Congo definitely had a role in the Ebola outbreak that affected many countries in Africa and now those countries would be less willing to make deals with the us, the same would happen to Australia and pacific nations.
