My question is to Senator Conroy, the Minister representing the Treasurer. Can the minister confirm that the March Sensis consumer report, released today, and the March Westpac-Melbourne Institute consumer confidence index both show a massive plunge in consumer confidence to Keatingesque lows? How do the survey findings, which reflect cost of living concerns, square with Mr Rudd’s promise to reduce petrol and grocery prices?
