Contributing sentiments towards policy:
51% : Additionally, a broad fuel tax cut creates a wider macroeconomic tension.47% : To fund that relief, a temporary tax on the windfall profits earned by the largely foreign-owned gas exporters from the energy shock is worth considering.
43% : From there, the burden will be shifted to other groups via cuts in spending or higher taxes - or shifted to the future if the excise cut is funded through government debt.
