Mr SHORTEN (Maribyrnong—Leader of the Opposition) (14:47): My question is to the Deputy Prime Minister. I refer to the Deputy Prime Minister's previous comments about fuel excise increases on 13 August 2009: The extra cost of fuel always flows through to increased prices on everything we buy. The Coalition recognised this in 2001 when we put a freeze on fuel excise … Deputy Prime Minister, what has changed? Government members: Your debt! The SPEAKER: There will be silence on my right! The Leader of the House will desist.
