My question is to the Minister for Small Business, Independent Contractors and the Service Economy. I refer the minister to the advice of the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet which warned that FuelWatch would involve increased compliance costs of $4,000 a year to affected small businesses. Why did the minister advise parliament yesterday that small business will be the big beneficiaries from the introduction of FuelWatch when Prime Minister and Cabinet advice is the opposite?
