My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to the Prime Minister's decision to ambush Australian motorists with a $2.2 billion petrol tax without a mandate from the Australian people and without the approval of parliament. How does the Prime Minister respond to Liz Taylor from Melbourne, who said in today's Herald Sun:

… everybody has a car and it will be very hard on people who can't afford any rises in petrol at all. That's what is important to me.
