My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer the Prime Minister to media reports that his government will offer subsidies of $1,000 for the purchase of new LPG cars and $2,000 for the conversion of existing cars to LPG. Can the Prime Minister explain why this is not simply fiddling at the margins—as Senator Boswell put it—given that LPG is not available in many parts of Australia, LPG conversions cost up to $3,500 and there are currently massive delays in booking an LPG conversion?
