[bikeqld] RACQ poll on fuel subsidy (fwd)

[Norm Morwood]

Also RACQ does seem to have given the exact wording of the petition at
least not before apparently having to vote for it.

Maybe Ronan Lee would be interested in setting up a counter petition? I
don't have his current email address. Maybe the Cc addresses will find
him.

Regards, Norm.

Looks like the RACQ has stepped this up a level from a web poll to a 
campaign with petition:

    http://www.racq.com.au/promotions/fuel_tax_subsidy_petition

They do a good job of misrepresenting the removal of the subsidy as an 
"extra fuel tax", and dismissing the Pincus report's findings that the 
subsidy isn't being passed on to consumers anyway.

Time for some letter-writing (or perhaps even a counter-petition), for 
those interested?

Cheers,

Ian
