Government halves fuel excise to cut price on petrol and diesel (www.abc.net.au)

**In short: **

The government has halved the fuel excise, reducing the cost of petrol and diesel by 26.3 cents a litre for three months.

The heavy road user charge will also be reduced to zero for the same period, taking pressure off truck drivers and transport costs.

Only an idiot would blame Albo.

However, I'm really raging that Albo and other world leaders won't hold Trump's feet to the fire over this.

Trump started it and he's the only one that can finish it and the only way he will do that is if other leaders throw some shade on him for this idiocy.

Disarming a counter that were prohibited from making nukes yet did it anyway, who wish death to us and the western world, is not idiocy. It’s idiocy to just ignore Iran and let them keep working towards destroying us.

Is hilarious that basically every former US president has continually warned of the dangers that Iran pose, yet sat idly by and did nothing while allowing them to develop weapons to annihilate us.

I swear half of Lemmy and the left would thank Iran for nuking them, saying they feel enriched by the nuclear fallout - yet they lose their minds over Russia invading Ukraine lol. Iran is a much but threat than Russia to the west.
