Whether or not I write to the ACCC is a decision I will make. I will not make it based on an invitation from the member for Prospect, with the greatest respect. But, as I have already indicated, the ACCC does monitor petrol prices throughout Australia. I also remind the member for Prospect that, as he knows only too well, there are other provisions in the Trade Practices Act where the ACCC can actually oblige people to provide information. So, far from me misleading the House, I suggest that the member for Prospect was being a little too cute in some of the comments that he made earlier.
