My question is to the Prime Minister, and I refer to the government's decision to increase petrol tax without seeking the approval of parliament. I ask the Prime Minister whether he agrees with his Finance Minister that:
If it wasn't validated by the parliament within 12 months, the money would have to … go back to fuel manufacturers and to fuel importers who would essentially have a windfall gain.
