I rise today to present two petitions with a total of 6,409 signatures from chief petitioner Bill Brown and the residents of Colac and district, who wish to draw to the attention of the House the price of petrol in Colac, which appears to be set by two major food retailers, with no effective competition between them.

The petitions read as follows—

To the Honourable The Speaker and Members of the House of Representatives

This petition of the residents of Colac and District draws to the attention of the House that the price of petrol in Colac appears to be set by two major food retailers and there is no effective competition between them.

We therefore ask the House to: take positive action to provide the residents of Colac and District with a fair pricing structure for fuel and call on the Government to investigate the practice of monopoly fuel outlets and their impact on rural communities.
