'Put the price of fuel up' - raising taxes could lock in transport habit changes

Oh great, just what we need. Tax the hell out of fuel so the gov can waste it on another bike lane no one uses 🙄

Honestly though, I've been biking to work for a month now and I'm actually saving heaps. Maybe it's not so bad if it sticks?

Easy for you to say when you don't need a ute for work. Try hauling tools on a bike mate. Bloody clueless.

Can we please just have a sensible discussion without the screeching from both sides? Yeah prices are up but maybe public transport could actually be decent for once.

I've been catching the bus more and honestly it's fine. Not perfect but beats paying $2.50 a litre.

'Sensible discussion' - says the guy who probably drives a Prius to the farmers market while the rest of us actually work. Get real.

What a load of shit. This government just loves taxing us into the ground.

I dunno man, my EV is costing me sweet FA to run. Maybe it's time to adapt instead of whinging 🤷

cope. Most people can't afford an EV and you know it. Typical smug richard.
