Prime Minister Albanese unveils fuel relief plan as national address draws mixed reactions
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has detailed a fuel relief package at the National Press Club, including a temporary cut to fuel excise, increased imports, support for key industries and measures to secure domestic supply. The announcement follows his national address a day earlier, where he warned of prolonged economic impacts from the global energy crisis. While the government says the address aimed to reassure Australians, opposition leaders have criticised it as alarmist and lacking detail.
