Malcolm Turnbull (Wentworth, Liberal Party, Parliamentary Secretary to the Prime Minister) Share this | Hansard source

I was misrepresented in a number of media outlets, including AAP, the Telegraph, the Australian and the Financial Review. It was attributed to me that I had said that petrol was not an issue in my electorate or that people were not complaining about petrol in my electorate. The precise transcript of my remarks is as follows:

Well, petrol is a concern everywhere. To be fair, my electorate is one of the smallest in Australia with the largest percentage of public transport commuters in Australia because it is an inner city electorate. So the impact of petrol prices would be less in Wentworth than it would be in larger outer-suburban or indeed rural or regional electorates. But petrol feeds into the cost of everything and it is a concern everywhere.
