Greg Hunt (Flinders, Liberal Party, Shadow Minister for Climate Change, Environment and Urban Water) Share this | Hansard source

My question is to the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and the Arts. I refer the minister to the earlier question from the member for Parramatta and to the continued spiralling of the world oil price, which has now hit a record of over $110 a barrel. I also refer the minister for the environment to reports that motorists could face the prospect of petrol rising to more than $3 a litre as a result of the federal government’s measures in response to climate change. Will the minister finally admit that petrol prices will rise under his policy, and does the minister really understand the effect of the government’s climate change policies on petrol prices for Australian families?
