Labor’s fuel excise cut will ‘ease pressures’ for Australians: Jim Chalmers

Treasurer Jim Chalmers says Australians are paying a “hefty price” for the impact of the war in Iran. “The war in the Middle East is doing a great deal of damage to the global economy, and Australians are paying a hefty price for that,” Mr Chalmers said during Question Time. “What we’ve announced today are additional steps to try and ease some of the pressures that Australians are feeling as a consequence of that war in the Middle East.”
