The extra tax revenue generated by the Iran war will be saved in its entirety, as the government downplays major cost-of-living relief in next week's federal budget.

      It’s Australia, not the US. Gas prices are up and taxes are a percentage of gas sales.

      So it’s costing Australians more but the government is taking in more sales tax.
