I thank the member for his question. There is one thing that we on this side of the House will not do: we will not look down at people who want to save a few cents at the petrol bowser. We actually understand that people, when they can save a few cents at the petrol bowser, think it is worth while; they think it does make a difference. If you can save 20c on a litre of petrol, that is a terrific thing. Yesterday in Sydney you could have saved 27c a litre. I think in Sydney today it is about 22c. That is worth while, it makes a difference, and we will stand up for consumers every time.
