Yes, struck dumb. I have never heard the member for Macarthur, who is not a bad sort of a bloke, get up and say in his electorate on the very fringes of the western suburbs of Sydney: ‘This is hurting families in my electorate and is unfair to them. I want something done; I demand that something be done.’ But I have heard nothing. I have to say that I have never even heard my learned colleague the Chief Government Whip, the member for Macquarie, say a word in anger over the current situation of petrol pricing in his electorate. Things can be done, and I believe the opposition is the party that will do things. This government has a track record of denying everything and doing nothing.
