The excise on petrol and diesel is now indexed , thanks to Tony Abbott Inc.
Its now 49.6c/litre

Add to that the GST (the tax to end all taxes (Costello)
and you get 54.56 c/litre total tax.
So when you fill up with say 60 litres , the Government pockets $32.73
How good is your $32.73 weekly Government Donation of $32.73, Mudguts?
That's a lazy $17K P/A ...thank you Treasurer & thank you ball boys!
No wonder the Multinational Oil Companies are a bit shy about paying Aus corporate tax!
