the racq has been asking motorists here in queensland, to sign a petition to try to stop the queensland govement,from taking off the 8cents subsidy on fuel. 176,000 motorists signed it ( including me ) so much for democracy the govement wouldnt even look at the petition.

"Fuel Subsidy"????
How did they justify calling it a "Fuel Subsidy"when they were still collecting more in TAX (their share of the GST) than they EVER provided as a so called "subsidy".
All they were doing is not collecting so much tax from fuel and collecting it some other way.
Cheers,
Peter
