The Government slashed fuel excise duties by 25 cents a litre in March ? but petrol prices have now risen back to the high they reached before the cut.
The PM says they're monitoring to make sure the reduction's passed on to consumers ? but still planning to phase it out within months.
It's scheduled to continue until the beginning of August - which is when the Cost of living Payment comes in.
