My question as to the Minister for Climate Change and Energy. Three of the top six selling vehicles in regional Australia are made by Toyota and will cost families up to an extra $25,000 to purchase under Labor's new family car and ute tax. Toyota's vice-president of sales, Sean Hanley, has stated, 'It will have a profound negative impact on regional and rural Australia, and that will reverberate throughout the Australian economy.' Will the minister concede that the price of existing cars will increase for regional Australians?
