That FuelWatch scam would have cost me sooo much it's rediculous. It stiffles competition, stiffles the discount cycle and panders to the BIG corporates. James, it is exectly the opposite that the Liberals have done. The big grocery chains and oil companies wanted Fuelwatch, because it assists monopolies. The Liberals are the ones looking after the "working families". KRudd is scroowing us over. "Watching prices does NOT make them cheaper" Fantastic!

There are already on line sites giving the price of petrol. Too lock in the price of petrol 24 hours ahead cannot lower prices, quite the opposite. I say to the Senate and the House of Representatives, drop this idea forever. Australia needs responsible government for a change. Is James of "western australia" a real person or just a labour stooge? The fuel watch scheme is an utter waste of time and our money. There are already on line sites giving the price of petrol.

But I reckon the fuel watch scheme is overrated. Don't get me wrong, I love the fact that we can search for the cheapest fuel prize online (Even though I rarely do). The locking in of a petrol price for 24 hours doesn't really make it any cheaper, only acts to stabilize price fluctuations.... James, I’m a west Aussie too.

You will find the vast majority of western australians approve of it. You can easily search for the cheapest fuel in your area and know that any time that day you will be assured that price wont go up before u visit that petrol station. As usual the liberals are looking after big business. I am a blue collar worker on less than average wage. what be the the type of person against this system Im western australian and having fuel watch here is fantastic.

I'm glad they stopped the limitation to free trade. As someone on the radio said today, “you watch when the price goes back up Mr charisma will say but the opposition stopped our fuel check system!!”
