The NSW Coalitions proposed Bill to cap fuel prices in a 24-hour period has been rejected by the Minns Labor government.
On Tuesday, the Liberals and Nationals sought to urgently debate new legislation that would introduce a 24-hour fuel price guarantee, providing greater certainty and transparency for drivers which would ultimately force petrol stations to set and publicly report their maximum price each day, preventing sudden spikes.
NSW Nationals leader Gurmesh Singh says with regional petrol stations running out of fuel and diesel prices are soaring past $3 a litre, there was a need to provide cost of living measures now considering parliament was next sitting in May.
Speaking on STA FM yesterday, Northern Tablelands MP Brendan Moylan says Premier Chris Minns refused to debate the Bill.
STA FM contacted Mr Minns office for a comment and are awaiting a response.
