Jamie Chaffey, the new Nats MP for Parkes, asks the Prime Minister about the much-needed (my words, not his) change to the fuel tax credit scheme … you know, that scheme under which taxpayers give billions to huge multi-national mining companies to put diesel in their trucks.

Jamie Chaffey:

Will the Prime Minister rule out any change tax credit system?

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese:

The only people arguing for high taxes those opposite.

When it comes to the diesel tax rebate, the fact is, it has been in place for some time. We have not changed anything. Those opposite are the only people who stood for higher taxes and the question is: will they do what they said they will do?
