  • Letter To Our Leaders: Cut Fuel Excise Tax

    Posted on Take Action by · March 10, 2022 10:56 AM
    Dear Prime Minister,


    One Nation has committed to supporting a 50% reduction in excise tax on petrol and diesel in Australia for the next twelve months, today I am asking for you to do the same.

    The household budgets of everyday Australians cannot support petrol prices as they burst through the $2.00 a litre mark. These prices will hurt families, lift the price on farming and freight - which will increase the weekly grocery bill.

    Australians are being ruthlessly gouged by global oil prices and Federal Government imposed Excise Tax which is currently set at $0.442 cents for every litre of fuel purchased.

    Budget papers show Australian motorists will pay $49.3 billion in net fuel excise over the next four years.

    For the average Australian household, this year’s fuel excise bill will cost over $1000.

    With one simple move, your government can pass on roughly $6 billion in targeted tax relief over the next year.

    Australians have been hit by COVID-19 lockdowns and mandates, fire and flood, and now surging cost of living prices driven by global conflicts outside of their control.

    I, along with many thousands of Australians, implore you to consider this suggestion and help ease the financial burden on the millions of Australians struggling to make ends meet in these difficult times.

    We look forward to hearing your reply.

     

    Yours faithfully,

    Senator Pauline Hanson

    One Nation Leader

    Senator For Queensland

    The week before federal parliament resumes for the budget sitting, copies of this letter will be sent to Prime Minister Scott Morrison, Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce and Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese along with a tally of the number of Australians who have co-signed to show their support.

    When it comes to petrol prices Aussies are under the pump.

    That is why One Nation has committed to a 50% reduction in excise tax on petrol and diesel in Australia and why we are calling on the major parties to do the same.

    It is time to cut taxes where it counts, boost business and ease the pain of everyday Aussies!

  • Gender Neutral Language

    Posted on Take Action by · December 29, 2021 7:25 PM

    Petition to keep Mother/Father, Husband/Wife on all federal government forms

    Gender-Neutral Language shouldn't mean we don't use Mother/Father anymore.

    Sponsored by Senator Malcolm Roberts www.malcolmrobertsqld.com.au/.
    This petition will be presented to the Senate by Senator Malcolm Roberts, calling on the Government to restore the use of traditional gendered options such as mother/father, husband/wife, son/daughter and grandmother/grandfather in all government forms or applications. By entering your details below, you will be signing the following:

    To the Honourable President and members of the Senate in Parliament assembled:

    33,925 signature
    Goal: 40000 signature

    The petition of the undersigned shows:

    The use of gender-neutral language is not neutral at all and its promotion is a slow and sinister creep that dehumanises a man or a woman. Children are most vulnerable as they grapple with anxiety over whether it is okay to use the descriptors boy and girl.

    We acknowledge that informed adults ought to have the right to change their gender and choose pronouns that validate how they feel about themselves, but that does not extend to taking away the right for the rest of the population to use pronouns and descriptors that best validate how they feel about themselves.

    We note the passage of the Gender Language motion on 16 March 2021 calling on Federal Government to reject the use of distorted language such as gestational/non-gestational parent, chest-feeding, human milk, lactating parent, menstruators, birthing / non-birthing parent and ensure all federal government and federal government funded agencies do not include these terms in their material, including legislation, websites, employee documentation and training materials.

    The power is with the Australian people to restore common sense and resist this dangerous move towards dehumanising all of us. Our petition calls for the restoration of gendered terms to federal government documentation.

    Your petitioners ask that the Senate:

    Take action to mandate that the words mother/father, husband/wife, son/daughter and grandmother/grandfather are included/restored to all federal government forms as appropriate, including passport applications and that these choices be in addition to suitable “other” options such as partner, spouse or other gender options.
