Paul Murray slams government for ruling out fuel tax cut

Sky News host Paul Murray has slammed the Albanese government for ruling out a cut to fuel excise as petrol prices continue to rise.

Treasurer Jim Chalmers said the government is not currently contemplating a cut.

“It would hardly send the country broke,” Mr Murray said.

Mr Murray noted that Labor ministers targeted the former government when in opposition over its lack of action on reducing fuel prices.

“It’s something, of course, the Labor government was more than happy to talk about when they were in opposition, when they had no responsibility.”
