Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I am flabbergasted that Senator Minchin does not understand that families are now paying more than $100 for their fuel bills to fill up their cars prior to a holiday weekend. My question is: why were people paying $1.45 in Sydney and up to $1.49 in places like Junee in New South Wales at the weekend, and in Western Australia, where it was not a long weekend, they were paying 10c a litre less?
