I thank the honourable Leader of the Opposition for his question. The Attorney-General’s Department has not sought that advice. I understand that the advice has been sought, however, by Treasury and the Assistant Treasurer. The advice is that, insofar as unincorporated associations, partnerships and sole traders deal with fuel companies, which are in turn corporations, there is sufficient constitutional power to implement the Fuelwatch scheme.
