A grandmother’s call has been answered as thousands of Queenslanders join her to boycott buying fuel in response to rising prices.

Bundaberg resident Sabrina Lamont created a Facebook event for a ‘National Fuel Strike’ after having to give up her job because she could not afford the petrol for travelling to and from work.

Ms Lamont is calling on the Federal Government to reduce fuel taxes, which the RACQ says accounts for a significant portion of the retail cost of fuel.
