Look, we need the money and fuel is bloody expensive, but I believe we are adding another problem to the next generation and regressing further.

The tax sucks, but the benefits were worth it.

    Plus, I would suspect the thinking was if you can’t afford the fuel tax you can take a bus.

    People just forget the trades exist, don’t they?

      They really don’t. And I’d point out, heavy trade vehicles will do more damage to roads than a light hatch back.

      Plus, more public transport means fewer cars on the road for tradies. Win-win!
