due

the
| most commonly predicted date of a Federal election.
|
| Another would be to heed the advice of its backbenchers and get tough with
oil
| companies over pricing fluctuations between city and country areas.  The
| suggestion of Federal Liberal MP Gary Nairn to impose a public transport
levy
| in cities to fund a reduction in the excise duty in the country is also
worth
