**In short: **

The government has halved the fuel excise, reducing the cost of petrol and diesel by 26.3 cents a litre for three months.

The heavy road user charge will also be reduced to zero for the same period, taking pressure off truck drivers and transport costs.

Hit the books mate, I ain't gonna write you an essay you won't even read.

Ah the classic “I can’t actually prove you wrong so I’m going to try back out while telling you you should try prove yourself wrong” argument lol.

Give me a 2 liner on how I’m wrong about Iran, and how I’m wrong about them breaking all the rules they agreed to on enriching uranium, and how I’m wrong about them openly wanting to destroy the west.

Whatever I say or write, you'll still prefer to get your opinion from online influencers instead of academic sources or books. God speed cooker 🤙

So once again you’re avoiding giving an answer because you can’t.
