Greens call for 80 limit

Our reliance on fossil fuels is back in the spotlight due to rising oil prices.

The Greens are calling for urgent measures, including an 80 km/h speed limit on highways to cut fuel consumption and reduce congestion. 

Party leader Lisa Mazzone says the goal is to boost energy security and ease costs for households. 

The proposals also include cheaper public transport, with a nationwide low-cost ticket. 

The measures are set to be debated in parliament.
