My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Abetz. I refer to the comments by the Premier of Victoria, Mr Napthine, on the Abbott government's petrol tax ambush. He says:

This is a situation where any increase in the cost for fuel for Victorian families and Victorian business will hurt those families and businesses …

He also says:

… these sorts of things should go through the proper parliamentary processes.

Does the minister agree with the Premier of Victoria?
