I was making the point that there are several Mazdas and other models that are more efficient overseas than they are in Australia, and we believe that Australians have a right to access those better, cheaper to run cars. We believe that Australians deserve the right to lower emissions, cheaper to run cars. Those opposite apparently don't. That's a matter for them. They have a choice. They can stand against choice or they can stand for it. They can stand for better cars or they can stand against them. That is a choice that is available.

This government will actually deliver better choice, with or without the help of those opposite.
