My question is to the Prime Minister and follows that excellent speech by the member for Hunter as members were walking into the House. Will the Prime Minister support Labor’s amendments to the Petroleum Retail Legislation Repeal Bill 2006 being debated today—amendments which implement parts of Labor’s fuels blueprint, including the promotion of greater oil and gas exploration in Australia—by re-examining the depreciation regime for gas production infrastructure, by allowing the selective use of flow-through share schemes for smaller operators, by promoting the use of alternative-fuel vehicles by cutting their tariffs, by granting tax rebates for converting petrol cars to LPG and by implementing Labor’s green-car challenge to get competitive value-for-money green cars on the roads?
