Guardian Essential poll: Australians want higher tax on gas exports and extension of petrol excise cut
The latest Guardian Essential poll of 1,067 Australian voters shows strong majority support for extending the temporary petrol excise cut (68%) and taxing gas export profits (57%), despite Prime Minister Anthony Albanese dismissing calls for new gas taxes as 'dishonest'. The poll also reveals growing voter preference for renewable energy amid the fuel crisis, widespread economic pessimism with 55% expecting the economy to worsen, and varying support for budget measures including restricting property investor tax breaks, prioritizing services over a surplus, and boosting defense spending.
