Soaring petrol prices have Morrison facing a $19 billion questionPetrol prices have a great ability to annoy people even when they're not buying it. But with prices soaring and an election just weeks away, they have left the Prime Minister facing a $19 billion question, writes political correspondent Brett Worthington. Yeah why not, ScoMo got us into the $600B+ debt let's cut his income to cover it by subsidising petrol prices high because of Ukrainian war. Makes sense to somebody Not sure who. A reduction in fuel excise will increase profits before any reduction in consumer prices It's amazing that the real solution is being avoided by everyone. The oil money is lining everyone's pockets. We can mandate facemasks but can't mandate our oil is sold to Australians. It's a complete disgrace.
