 Ryan BATCHELOR (Southern Metropolitan) (12:53): (2176) My question is to the Minister for Consumer Affairs. How is the Allan Labor government helping constituents in Southern Metropolitan Region save when they fill up their cars at the petrol station? We know that events around the world are causing pressure on the supply of petroleum. People are worried about price rises at the petrol station. The Victorian government has recently released the Servo Saver app on the Service Victoria app, which allows people to compare local petrol prices. Recently I was in Bentleigh. I opened the app, had a look and found a 64-cents-a-litre difference between a petrol station on East Boundary Road and one on McKinnon Road. If you look today, you can find nearly 20-cent savings in McKinnon between two petrol stations just 1 kilometre apart. Servo Saver is free, it is simple and it is an effective way for motorists to save when they fill up at the petrol station, thanks to the Allan Labor government.
