Queensland's Premier proposes 12 state-owned petrol stations to control fuel price rises.
Queensland's Premier proposes establishing 12 state-owned petrol stations if re-elected, aiming to control fuel price rises to 5c/litre daily.

The debate on government's role in public and private sectors continues in Australia.
