  "The problem with cutting the Fuel Excise is you don’t necessarily want to make fuel prices cheaper when you have issues with supply levels, you don’t really want people to go out and buy more if they don’t have to. 

  “You want people to try to use less of it, so that you don’t need to get into rationing.”

  I’m happy with my EV.

    Sure but you’re aware that the vast majority of the food you eat requires diesel to produce and to transport to you right?

      Peterbuilt makes large and mid sized EV transport trucks, as has for years.

      True we need diesel and I do for my Ute. My EV is great and I don’t have to worry about petrol stations which is my point. While it sounds smug, it is really just a comment saying that the more EVs the less fossil fuel is needed. Greater national security and all that.

      Having worked petrol retail through my late teens/early 20’s, I can assure you that people have no idea how much of our society depends on diesel.

      Electricity, too: Ten days without power would be almost enough to send us to the Iron Age. It’s scary when you think about it, you could seriously cripple any modern nation by attacking just those two vectors of infrastructure and they’re both pretty soft targets in terms of the damage you could do.

  So time for us to end the fuel subsidy for mining companies and to hit all oversized yank tanks with additional taxes.

    Hong Kong has nice cheap electricity… Pretty much everyone drives electric, charge at night on low cost rate.

    Hot damn, I can’t imagine paying less than 10c a litre in 2026.
