Australian politicians propose cutting beer taxes to ease cost-of-living pressures.

Governments have taxed beer for thousands of years, using the revenue to fund wars and other expenses.

As a response to public outcry over the cost of living, some Coalition members propose reducing beer excise taxes, though it's unclear if this would lower prices for consumers.
