National Road Freighters Association President Rod Hannifey says it all comes down to cost of living:

Road transport is at breaking point.

Drivers and operators can't keep footing the bill for rising fuel costs.

Not all can easily pass these costs on and it simply adds to the cost of living across Australia. It's unsustainable and supply chains will soon grind to a halt if this new federal government doesn't step in.

When will the minister give industry and the Australian community certainty, given that the fuel excise is due to be reinstated from Thursday this week?
