House of Assembly Fifty-Fourth Parliament, First Session (54-1) 54 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Fuel Price Monitoring Fuel Price Monitoring Ms BEDFORD House of Assembly Florey Fuel Price Monitoring Ms BEDFORD (Florey) (14:44): Supplementary: can the Attorney give me an explanation that I could pass on to my constituents about why petrol prices have risen by as much as 40¢ again, to see petrol at $1.70, at only some outlets in Adelaide this week? The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN House of Assembly Bragg Deputy Premier Attorney-General Fuel Price Monitoring The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General) (14:44): I haven't got the answer to why the price rise was for this week, but I think the member would be well aware that, in all the time she has been in public life, there have been variations in petrol prices. Sometimes it is argued that it is a result of the wholesale price of oil and then fuel. Of course, we don't have a fuel refinement facility in South Australia anymore, so we rely on imports, which in a way is real-time ordering in that regard. There have been explanations over the years as to why there are variations in any particular time frame, but I can make some inquiry and get back to the member on that.
