FUELWATCH — REGIONAL PRICES
I refer to the manner in which the daily fuel payments paid by the Public Transport Authority to school bus contractors is calculated and note that the price of fuel in Kununurra consistently exceeds the average regional price. (1) Is the minister aware that FuelWatch can supply average fuel prices by individual town; and, if yes — (a) can the minister explain why daily fuel payments are not calculated using average fuel prices for individual towns; and (b) if no, will the minister consider changing the calculation of daily fuel payments by using average prices for individual towns? Hon ADELE FARINA

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. Like the answers to some of the other questions that have been asked today, the fire at Dumas House, from which all occupants were asked to evacuate, has had an impact on the answer to this question. It has been impossible to provide an answer to this question.
