Kevin Rudd (Griffith, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the Opposition) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to reports today from Fueltrac that motorists are paying at least 2c a litre more than they should for every litre of petrol sold in Queensland. Why won’t the Prime Minister instruct his Treasurer to direct the ACCC to formally monitor the price of petrol under part VIIA of the Trade Practices Act—the only way that the ACCC can use its full powers to examine pricing policies behind the scenes and not just at the bowser? Why won’t the Prime Minister finally stand up for working families on petrol prices?
