Jim Chalmers (Rankin, Australian Labor Party, Treasurer) | Hansard source

This government is cutting petrol taxes. We're cutting income taxes. We're making it easier for first home buyers. We're making the tax system fairer. I'm asked about trust in what people say in this place, and I draw the House's attention to what the shadow Treasurer said earlier today: 'Cheaper prices are not flowing through to the bowser in Australia.' I want to point out to the shadow Treasurer—he's asking me about whether we can believe things people say in this place—that petrol prices in Sydney since the end of March are down by $1 per litre, in Melbourne by 99c, in Brisbane by 97c, in Perth by $1.03, in Adelaide by $1.07, in Canberra by 89c, in Hobart by 94c and in Darwin by 97c, and it is the same when it comes to diesel. So, of all the people I would take a question from about accurate statements, the shadow Treasurer would be at the very, very end of the list.
