**In short: **

The government has halved the fuel excise, reducing the cost of petrol and diesel by 26.3 cents a litre for three months.

The heavy road user charge will also be reduced to zero for the same period, taking pressure off truck drivers and transport costs.

Yeah, but anyone that hates and blames politicians for this would hate and blame politicians if they did what you're suggesting. This strategy gives less money directly but more directly addresses the anger and democracy is basically a popularity contest
