How much taxpayer money is actually going toward UN climate events? I questioned Minister Murray Watt and officials to get some answers:

Officials couldn't explain the return on investment for everyday Aussies and the total COP31 budget (including potential grants for climate activists like COP30) is still not finalised.

The Department couldn't provide specific figures on wages, airfares, or days abroad for the 2026–27 financial year, citing a "case-by-case" approach.

I asked why Australia follows international climate agreements when nations like the US have withdrawn, and the UN has no enforceable power here unless our Parliament legislates it.

Taxpayers deserve better transparency. I’ll keep holding them to account. ... See MoreSee Less

I first announced our policy to cut fuel excise back in February 2025, repeating it in March 2025 as part of our promise to deliver $40 billion into people's pockets.

Senator Hanson and I have consistently championed this measure, including early in 2026 following rising Middle East tensions.

Cutting fuel taxes would stimulate the economy and boost productivity without driving inflation.

While our policy isn't to remove the GST on fuel entirely, halving the excise automatically reduces the GST applied on top of it, chipping away at an immoral tax-on-a-tax that both major parties have long supported.

One Nation was the first to call for fuel security, supply stability, and excise relief long before the major parties even thought of it.

They called us extremists.

Yet we were right all along!

Our policy is to halve the fuel excise to 26 cents per litre for 3 years with a review after 12 months, with the option to extend further.

This will reduce costs for motorists and lower freight expenses, directly impacting the price of groceries, goods, and services.
