Resources Minister warns FuelWatch won`t work
Rift growing in Government over petrol
PM refuses to adopt Opposition`s idea

A DEEP split has emerged within the Rudd Government over petrol, with Resources Minister Martin Ferguson warning its planned FuelWatch price monitoring system will fail working families, crush small businesses and tarnish Kevin Rudd`s economic reform credentials.

In a letter to senior colleagues obtained by The Australian yesterday, Mr Ferguson attacked the FuelWatch scheme as an anti-competitive waste of money and predicted it would leave battlers out of pocket, despite government claims it would lead to lower fuelprices.

"The biggest losers ... would again be working families in places like western Sydney," Mr Ferguson wrote in a letter to Consumer Affairs Minister Chris Bowen, which he also copied to the Prime Minister, Wayne Swan and Finance Minister Lindsay Tanner.

The strongly worded letter emerged as Mr Rudd and Mr Bowen yesterday lauded FuelWatch, vowing it would "put motorists back in charge" of their fuel costs.

And it came as Mr Rudd struggled to deflect a relentless Opposition attack on his refusal to embrace its proposal for a 5c-a-litre reduction in fuel excise.
