🚗 Fixing Shelley Bridge If you’re from south of the river in Perth and drive along Leach Highway, you know first hand just how frustrating the congestion around Shelley Bridge can be. It’s more than just a traffic jam, it’s unnecessary time stuck in the car, delays on your daily commute, and growing road safety concerns. That’s why we’ll invest $112.5 million to duplicate Shelley Bridge to help ease congestion and improve safety for thousands of locals who rely on it every day. ⛽ 25c Fuel Relief Did you know nearly half of what you pay at the bowser goes straight to tax? Under the Coalition, we’ll cut that tax in half down to 25 cents per litre for 12 months. That’s around $14 back in your pocket every time you fill up. It’s a practical way to ease the cost-of-living burden, right now. 💸 Up to $1,200 in Tax Relief Families are doing it tough. Which is why we’re so determined to offer as much immediate relief as we can. Another way we will do this is through a one-off tax offset of up to $1,200 for middle-income earners. It’s real help, when you need it most. 🛡 A Stronger Defence In an increasingly uncertain world, our national security can’t be an afterthought. A Coalition government will invest an additional $21 billion over five years into defence. This will include reinstating the fourth squadron of F-35A Joint Strike Fighters to ensure our armed forces have the tools they need to keep Australians safe. |
