Move comes five days after Jim Chalmers said Labor was not considering cutting the fuel excise
Anthony Albanese has slashed the fuel excise in half in a move which will save motorists 26 cents a litre, and is encouraging people to take public transport where they can, as the national cabinet announces a plan to manage the petrol crisis.
Following a meeting of state and federal leaders on Monday, leaders also agreed to reduce the heavy vehicle road user charge to zero for three months, in a bid to support truck drivers.
