Australians spent $42.5 billion on fuel last year

Before you want to pay some of the tax. Remember that these taxes are funnelled back to paying for fossil fuel. The taxes are use for a diesel rebate for the miners and farmers. The companies then get tax deductions for the exploration for gas, oil and coal. Then get more tax advantages for building the mines and plants.
So its all a big round about that consumers fund the the companies to pump more oil.

The diesel rebate for the miners, farmers and fishermen is due to that group not using the public road system, once the diesel vehicle is on the road there is no rebate.
In New Zealand all diesel is the same price and a lot cheaper than petrol, but there is a road user charge for vehicles using the road. No tax for tractors, off road vehicles or boats.
The rebate is not to help them but only a rebate of road user tax
