Mr Speaker, those opposite have run out of substantial questions to ask. I refer to the shadow minister’s question and say the following: in relation to the matters that any government would want to bring forward to deal with the question of petrol prices, this government has delivered. That is the first thing I would say. The second thing I would say is: in the absence of any concrete policy being advanced by the opposition on the wider matters of what likely costs or otherwise there may be in dealing with matters of climate change or the environment, you have had nothing to add to this point in time. You have just wasted your question.
