Removal of the GST and the lowering of the fuel excise and a royal commission into price gouging
Final supporters
1. We, the Australian People are requesting the removal of the GST on the excise tax on fuel and a lowering of the excise on fuel which will lessen the financial burden placed on all Australians.
2. We are also requesting a Royal Commission into Fuel prices and Gouging.
The Australian Government double dips and takes an extra 10% GST on top of the fuel excise which in turn is driving up fuel prices. There is no need to double dip on an already highly taxed product.
The Fuel Companies are not getting off easy either, price gouging and collusion between service stations and price differences of upto 20c per litre when the petrol stations are within a few km's. It is Criminal.
We are wanting to achieve a more affordable fuel sector for all Australians.

I drive 54km a day one way for work over 12 days per fortnight. I can't afford to spend this amount on fuel to get there and back each trip on what I earn. Time to think of the workers who keep this country going and reduce the cost of fuel for all
Fuel is no longer a privilege but a necessity for day to day living. With wage increases restricted to below the CPI, fuel companies seem to put the price up whenever they feel like and attempt to justify it using a fictitious price of crude in Singapore
I know a few people who work at petrol stations and have been told by some of them they are required to drive past other servos to find out what the oppositions prices are and others that have one of their security cameras pointed at the price board.
Stop ripping us off. If we can't afford fuel we can't get to work. Which equals less tax you can tax off us. It's lose lose, for the government. So drop 1 tax so you can make more from the working man that can afford the fuel to get to work. Simple maths
The excessive price of fuel is quickly eroding our independence. Now we have to ask ourselves if we really need to go there. Our pittance of a pension increase was swallowed up in my last tank of diesel and I got no extra litres fro the price.
Fuel is too high ! Can not keep going to work at the cost ! Can not brings kids up as cost too high on fuel ! This is a rip off ! Plus government doing nothing to stop this happening ! Please stop this now ! Bring down cost on the tax bring down cost of fuel ! We can not live !
