My question is to the Minister for Resources and Energy and Minister for Tourism. I refer the minister to his letter opposing Labor’s Fuelwatch scheme on the basis that it is anticompetitive, will hurt small business and will slug motorists hardest in areas like Western Sydney. Yesterday, the minister said he had changed his mind, on the basis of further detailed work. Given he was not at the cabinet meeting that he considers so persuasive, what further detailed work was undertaken to prompt such a remarkable cave-in?
