QuestionView source ↗
(1) Will the minister explain why the Government abolished Labor’s petrol pricing policy controls only two months after coming to power in 1993? (2) Does the minister agree with the finding of the recent petrol pricing select committee of this House that the gap between country and city prices has widened since controls were deregulated in 1993? Mr SHAVE
AnswerView source ↗
(1)-(2) My understanding is that in 1992-1993, the monitoring of the petrol industry would be done on a national basis by the Federal Government. Mr Trenorden: The Labor Federal Government, I might add. Mr SHAVE: A Labor Federal Government. Apparently that fell short of what was promised. The Government is concerned about the disparity between the country and city prices of fuel and is addressing all the issues. I set up the petroleum pricing advisory committee immediately the select committee report was delivered. The Government has been working through those issues. The committee met yesterday and is meeting again on Thursday. Dr Gallop: What issues? Mr SHAVE: All the issues and recommendations contained in the report. Dr Gallop: We have a report, but we need action. Mr SHAVE: The Government will deal with all those issues. The committee will meet again on Thursday for three hours between 9.00 am and 12 o’clock. All the issues and recommendations raised will be evaluated by Cabinet. In due course, Cabinet will make decisions on those recommendations.
