Fuel Price Monitoring

Mr DULUK (Waite) (14:54): My question is to the Attorney-General. Can the Attorney please provide an update to the house on the fuel app tender process for a private data aggregator and specify when South Australians will have live and up-to-date petrol prices available to them?

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Planning and Local Government) (14:55): I am very happy to do that. I thank the member for Waite for inquiring, and I thank him for continuing to take an interest in this matter. Yes, I had a meeting with the Commissioner for Consumer and Business Services, Mr Dini Soulio, only a week or so ago, and he confirmed to me that that is progressing.

Obviously, I am not privy to the circumstances and detail in relation to that tender process, but I am advised that there has been significant interest, and I take that to mean more than one, which was always the worry. I remember during the debate on this matter there were certain members who took the view that they would make statements about a certain operator in Queensland that has been contracted by the Queensland Labor government as being in some way unsuitable for the work to be done.

It seems that was a concern of hers during the debate, but nevertheless I understand that. Notwithstanding that, it hasn't seemed to put people off. They are lined up and we are expecting a resolution of that before Christmas, as previously advised.
