My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to the Prime Minister’s comments that the newly appointed cop on the beat, the petrol commissioner, Pat Walker, would be watching pump prices closely this Easter. However, I also refer to the Assistant Treasurer’s comments in this House on Tuesday that the petrol commissioner, Mr Walker, will start work on 31 March, some nine days after Easter. In view of this confusion, will the Prime Minister advise whether the cop on the beat, the petrol commissioner, will be safeguarding motorists’ interests this Easter, or is this just another example of Labor’s spin rather than substance?
