What benefits will the new FuelWatch web site provide for motorists over the coming Easter and school holiday period? Mr J.C. KOBELKE
AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for the question and for his ongoing interest in ensuring that motorists in Albany and surrounding areas get a better deal by being able to purchase petrol at a lower price. We are delivering on that, and I thank the member for his support and ongoing interest in the issue. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Order, members! Mr J.C. KOBELKE: The FuelWatch web site has been incredibly successful, with well over 80 million hits since it was established. In one month alone, some 170 000 visitors accessed information on the web site. We are building on that success by enhancing the site. The work that is being done with land administration means that maps of Western Australia have now been integrated into the web site, so that when people take a trip, for instance, from Perth to Albany, they can access the Internet, see where the service stations are on the way, find out the price of petrol at those service stations and ensure that when they refuel they can get the petrol at the best possible price. I am sure that motorists very much appreciate it. That is clearly shown by the number of people who are using the system. The only people who are knocking it are members opposite, who are not interested in lower petrol prices for their constituents. We know that. Mr W.J. McNee interjected. Mr J.C. KOBELKE: The member for Moore does not want lower petrol prices. He just wants to make more noise than I am. Motorists are getting a much better deal under the Gallop Government, and that is what members opposite do not like. They do not want the interests of Western Australian motorists looked after; they just want to play politics.
