(1)-(3) The point at issue is that there is a parliamentary inquiry looking into the issue of fuel pricing. It is a very serious issue throughout regional Western Australia. A host of issues that will come from the review will clarify the situation. I am keen to see what the recommendations will be and to determine what remedies the Government can implement.
