Australian Opposition Defends Fuel Excise Cut Proposal Amid Cost-of-Living Debate
Shadow energy minister Dan Tehan called the plan 'sensible' after criticism from the government, according to The Guardian.
Australia's shadow minister for energy, Dan Tehan, defended a Coalition proposal to cut fuel excise when oil prices are high, calling it a "sensible" plan, according to The Guardian.
Tehan pushed back on criticism from the government, saying households were "hurting" from cost-of-living pressures and that the Coalition had the "discipline" to offset the policy so it would not add to inflation, the newspaper reported.
Separately, The Guardian's live coverage noted comments from Senator Sarah Hanson-Young that telecommunications companies including Telstra "can no longer be trusted" with the triple-zero emergency call service.
