A 3,000km Outback pub drive begins on Sunday to promote One Nation policies that will cut 26 cents per litre in fuel tax, remove the alcohol tax on drinks sold in licensed venues and reduce power bills 20%.

Senator Malcolm Roberts will hit the road to visit outback towns, pubs and businesses where excise and expenses are crippling communities and said ‘Only One Nation has policies that will put more money in Australians’ pockets and support struggling small businesses.

‘In many Outback towns, the pubs are in danger of becoming extinct, with the cost of overheads forcing them to shut their doors.

‘One Nation’s pub drive will shine a light on struggling towns that most politicians will never visit their entire time in parliament.

‘The outback and the bush are often silent victims of government policies. More than most communities, the outback feels increases to the cost of transport yet politicians in Canberra often do not hear these voices crying out for acknowledgment of the pain Canberra is inflicting.

‘Outback pubs are often the hub for the entire community, acting as much more than just a watering hole. One Nation wants to give venues a shot in the arm to keep their doors open as a place to see your mates.’

Towns on the 3,000km itinerary include Warwick, Goondiwindi, St George, Roma, Charleville, Quilpie, Stonehenge, Longreach, Emerald and Moura.
