Why are we still subsidising motorists with petrol and diesel cars? Diesel subsidies alone cost Australians $15 billion per year. That would put an abundance of electric fast-chargers on every major road, with plenty of change. And the reduction in fuel excise because of the war in Iran cost Australians another billion dollars per month, and then about 400 million a month when they halved it. It's still there. Imagine the potholes we could be filling with that money. Or an entire decent highway to the West, from Sydney.
