Former NSW Labor treasurer Michael Costa rejects One Nation MP David Farley’s explanation for backing a fuel tax credit cut, arguing he should have known exactly what he was voting for. One Nation MP David Farley voted with the Greens and Teals to cut a fuel tax credit used by miners and farmers and give the money to renewable projects instead. Farley has now publicly apologised, saying he made a mistake. He's a rookie who still has no staff, and Barnaby Joyce is off in London, so he couldn't tell him what was going on. “I don’t accept that excuse from Farley … he’s not naive enough not to know what the diesel fuel excise is all about,” Mr Costa told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “The problem with One Nation is it attracts people who can’t find a home somewhere else, particularly opportunists.”
