Look, we need the money and fuel is bloody expensive, but I believe we are adding another problem to the next generation and regressing further.

The tax sucks, but the benefits were worth it.

    IMO - higher rates cost more votes than a tax that benefits everyone.

    Did the fuel tax help - yes. Too little, long term results but yes.

      It’s only been like 5 years, right? I guess you can’t hope for long term results if it’s not around long term. I hope the council does consider higher rates to keep the investment going (I know with the current mayor that’s unlikely).
