My question is to the Minister for Finance and Deregulation. I refer the minister to the letter from the Minister for Resources and Energy which was reportedly copied to the finance minister. Has the minister for finance advised his colleagues of any concerns, including any about the regulatory impact on small business, of Labor’s Fuelwatch scheme?

I thank the member for Dickson for his question. I contributed to discussions within the government about the government’s policy and I support the government’s policy.
