Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Minister, the ACCC was also vocal about gaps between the international price of petrol and the retail price of petrol in December and January, but two months later it still cannot explain the gap, even using its new powers. Families are hopping mad over petrol prices in the lead-up to Easter. Minister, how many petrol companies has the ACCC successfully prosecuted over price gouging in the past? Will the government guarantee that action will be taken against petrol price gougers, or is the tough talk just more hot air?
