 John LISTER (Werribee) (13:13): Supporting families with practical cost-of-living relief is so important to me. Last week I welcomed the Premier and the Minister for Consumer Affairs to Mambourin to meet with local business owner Rashi to talk about how Labor is helping locals with their fuel bills. According to the last census, 51 per cent of journeys in Wyndham are made by private vehicle, so recent fuel shocks have hit my electorate particularly hard. I welcome the Allan Labor government’s announcement that new daily fuel caps are now in force and increased inspection and enforcement are happening by Consumer Affairs Victoria as well as an emergency controller being in there looking around fuel supply, particularly for our emergency services. For locals like Rashi who rely on their cars, this certainty is so important, and I encourage all residents to hop onto the Servo Saver app and plan their next fuel stop. It is particularly important because service stations are legally mandated to update the app and keep the fuel prices up to date for the community.
