Albanese leaves door open to extending fuel excise cut
The prime minister, Anthony Albanese, has not ruled out extending the temporary cut to the fuel excise as the Middle East conflict continues to disrupt the global oil market.
We’ll do an assessment closer to the day. It is very costly but it has made a difference. We’re doing pretty well, I’ve got to say, compared with what the expectations were, people have stopped asking me about it (fuel supplies).
We’ll make the assessment, like, it’s really volatile times. We don’t know when this war in the Middle East will end. We’ve got the ceasefire still going at the moment. We want it to end.

What I especially love about the Lofoten in March is the light.
The sun barely rises more than about 15 degrees above the horizon, which makes it feel almost like an endless sunset throughout the entire day.
Unfortunately, as so often in life, there is also a downside: a lot of clouds. Nothing beautiful comes completely without compromise.
The angle of the sun is absolutely magical, but the sunlight itself often only appears for a few minutes. Yet it is exactly during those short moments that something special happens.
Far out over the sea, small openings appear within the clouds near the horizon. Through them, a soft and concentrated beam of warm light breaks through, often illuminating only the lower parts of the landscape. The mountains in the background, the fog, and the higher clouds frequently remain completely untouched by it.
This creates a very unique interplay between cold and warm colors. The different layers of the scene separate naturally from one another, while still feeling beautifully connected.
I also used a polarizing filter here. This is not software, but a physical filter placed in front of the lens. It reduces reflections on the water and in the air. As a result, the colors beneath the water surface become more visible, and the atmosphere itself appears much clearer because moisture and tiny particles have far less influence on the image.
In the end, this creates a beautiful balance between water, houses, mountains, and fog — clearly separated, yet perfectly connected at the same time.
The fog itself is also an essential part of the mood. Sometimes the sun briefly breaks through, but the clouds are too high and the mountains lose much of their presence.
But when everything aligns for just a brief moment, you witness something that feels almost unreal.
You simply stand there, feeling happy, amazed by Mother Nature.
Maybe this moment speaks to you a little the same way it did to me.
