The Treasurer wrote to the chair of the ACCC, instructing the commission to step up its surveillance of fuel markets ahead of and following the reintroduction of the full excise rate from 29 September 2022.</p><p>As the independent regulator enforcing Australia's competition and consumer laws, the ACCC will continue to investigate concerns arising about misrepresentations regarding petrol prices and false and misleading conduct or anticompetitive conduct in fuel markets, and take appropriate action.</p> <p class="speaker">Sue Lines</p><p>The question is that general business notice of motion No. 49, moved by Senator Askew at the request of Senator Dean Smith, be agreed to.</p><p></p><p></p> -
