John MacDonald: Now is not the time to be scrapping the fuel discount


The way things are going, I’ll be paying nearly $15 to fill the tank up.

That’s the tank in the scooter, by the way. And, if I ride it every work day, it’ll be about a week-and-a-half before I need to fill it up again.

Different story, of course, with our cars. Especially after midnight tonight when the Government’s fuel tax discount comes to an end.

And so, tomorrow, we’ll be paying 29 cents more per litre - 25 cents for the fuel tax and about 4 cents more in GST.
