Government accused of doing 'bare minimum' in measures to address spiralling fuel prices

Opposition says Government has 'abandoned' households who rely on home heating oil

Government measures announced on Tuesday include a 15c excise cut on petrol and 20c cut on diesel until the end of May.

The Government has been accused of doing the “bare minimum” in measures to address spiralling fuel prices that “barely scratch the surface of what is required to support people who are struggling the most”.

During leaders’ questions, the opposition slated the Government measures unveiled on Tuesday afternoon to ease the burden of rising prices caused by the US-Israel war on Iran.
