Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Families in the outer suburban and regional areas do not have good public transport alternatives and are really struggling with record petrol prices. Given the coalition missed the opportunity to cut petrol tax by seven months, would the closet supporters of petrol tax cuts in the Rudd government please step forward now? Why won’t the government give families some immediate relief from the pain of skyrocketing petrol prices?
