Mr. John Hogan:
There was always a gap between the cost of diesel and petrol. We reduced the excise on petrol by 20 cent per litre and on diesel by 15 cent per litre. The committee members probably noticed over the years that as part of the tax strategy group, we often considered how to equalise diesel and petrol prices. It seems to have happened.
