I apologise, Mr Speaker. I'll return to the topic. Our policy when it comes to those vehicles is that we want to ensure that those technology costs come down so they can be affordable to Australians who wish to buy them. We don't want to pay out subsidies to large companies overseas to make them cheaper. If people want to buy them, then we want the car companies to make sure they're more affordable and they bring down the costs on their technology because there is a large market for it. But what we won't do, I can tell you, is put up the price of the cars they're now buying and that they wish to buy to try and force their choice to another choice. The Labor Party love to tell you what to do. They love to make choices for you.
