I think I spotted where the #LNP got the idea to reduce the fuel excise.
It's a One Nation (#ONP) policy, except they're proposing doing it for longer.
> Halve the fuel excise to 26 cents per liter for 3 years with a review after 12 months, with the option to extend further.

Seems a reasonable proposal on the surface… BUT:
1. it'll take a while for it to make a difference to those who don't actually pay a fuel excise (e.g. the #carfree community and the #ev community)
2. you risk putting greater demand on fossil fuels, which given the meagre reserves we have and the impact emissions are having on our #climate, seems like a bad choice
Maybe the fuel excise should be going into projects that improve the green space and help offset some of these emissions?

You deserve a government that works as hard as you do.
A government that ends the schemes and scandals, and takes care of the basics:
Building homes, hiring doctors, fixing schools, and making life more affordable.
That government is the NDP.

@ColinDMello: The liberals say taxable income between $51,446 - $75,000 would be reduced from 9.15% to 7.15%
The decrease, the Liberals say, would deliver an ongoing tax break of $950/year benefiting "almost half of all taxpayers" in the province.
