HOCKEY’S COMMENT A SLAP IN THE FACE IN THE BUSH

Residents in rural and regional Australia are angry about Joe Hockey’s insensitive broken fuel tax promise comments.

In the bush we lack public transport and most places we go – to shop, to work, to learn, to socialise and even to look for work – are a long way away.

Most of the poorest electorates in Australia are in rural and regional Australia and people here do drive cars – often older vehicles with poor fuel efficiency.

The North Shore-based Treasurer is completely out of touch.
