The location choice for yesterday’s Family First campaign launch has been explained.

Senator Fielding launched Family First’s campaign from an abandoned petrol station at Lower Templestowe yesterday to emphasise the party’s key election policy of a 10-cent cut in petrol taxes.

(I still fail to see the connection between an abandoned service station and the cost of petrol tax, but anyway…)

Fielding reckons that the Pentecostal Church party’s policy of a 10c per litre reduction in petrol tax to ease the “burden” on families would cost $2.8 billion.

In a completely unrelated statement, Steve Fielding called The Greens “economically reckless.”

I think the 10 cent per litre should only be available for “families” and motorists should have to show ID (a nice picture of themselves and their kids) before qualifying.
Gay people should have to pay more for petrol too. Those DINKS can afford it, and “families” are so much more important than fags.
