Australia’s richest woman has called on the government to give the nation a “Christmas bonus” in the form of a petrol tax excise cut at a time when people are struggling to deal with spiralling costs and said the “woke” agenda threatened living standards.
“Every few dollars counts for people in tough times,” Mrs Rinehart told The Advertiser in an exclusive interview.
“With the stroke of a pen, the government could deliver minor short-term relief to millions by cutting the petrol tax for households. “
“It could happen from the first of December and then, if you must, put it back to usual after Christmas.
“The longer after Christmas, the better.”
“It’s an easy way to help families and the elderly for Christmas and the school holidays… no one is asking for a handout, we just need the government to take less money from Australians.”
Last March, the Morrison government halved the excise tax on fuel from 44.2 to 22.1 cents per litre for six months as part of a suite of pre-election cost of living measures.
That relief was credited with keeping fuel price increases to a minimum at a time when global oil prices were spiking as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Although crude oil prices have come off earlier highs, a number of factors including a weak Australian dollar have meant motorists continue to suffer pain at the pump.
“With high inflation and rising interest rates, all I keep hearing is that people in the bush and the cities need costs cut now more than ever,” Mrs Rinehart said.

Send miners to parliament and students to work, Gina Rinehart says
23.11.2023

In a speech to mining executives and Liberal leader Peter Dutton at her Roy Hill mine on Wednesday, Mrs Rinehart took aim at Prime Minister Anthony Albanese for taking overseas trips to spruik trade while his government was handcuffing local industry.

Australia's richest person, who owns millions of farming hectares, said governments need to cap what agriculturalists spend on achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions to $200,000 - or the entire nation faces dire consequences.

Gina Rinehart: Govt strangling of Australia’s world-leading mining, agriculture industries is creating a ‘nightmare’ scenario for our children
22.11.2023
And, as has been reported widely, changing IR policy which will make it more difficult for agriculture, mining and many businesses to create the revenue our hugely in debt country needs. If this scenario is not changed, our youth should understand we are creating a nightmare for them - that they will be struggling with high taxes for the rest of their lives. Many will need to forget about the Aussie dream of owning their own home, as they won’t be able to afford such an investment after meeting government tax burdens. Even in schools, governments have been content to not educate children and grandchildren well. In the current high school national curriculum, which mandates what every school child in Australia is taught, iron ore is referenced only twice. Yet climate change and renewable energy are mentioned 48 times. Mining, coal, and iron ore do not receive even one mention in the entire high school economics and business curriculum!

Don’t forget how we got so lucky
22.11.2023
Mrs Rinehart said governments "seem to forget" that "modern resources and agricultural industries underpin human flourishing", while reigniting her push for the Federal Government to mark two days in November as national days for the two sectors. "For all the platitudes we hear about supporting the agricultural and resources sectors, their actions show the opposite," she said of governments. "Platitudes and press releases don’t lift a single tonne of any mineral out of the ground." Mrs Rinehart said the growing burden of red tape - including looming "huge increases" to the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act — and increasing regulation around net zero emissions, were evidence that government actions defied their supposed support for the sector.
