Audi AG mentioned in Australian fuel excise relief debate amid price hikes
What happened
A debate regarding the Coalition’s plan to slash fuel excise was held amid soaring Australian petrol and diesel prices. The plan involved automatically halving fuel excise when global oil prices remained above $US100 a barrel for two weeks. The discussion questioned whether relief should be universal or targeted towards motorists facing financial strain. The policy, which was argued to save motorists about 27 cents a litre, was noted to be roughly $950 million-a-month and funded through changes to tobacco excise.
