Mr Acting Deputy President, this is becoming a habit, my talking in the chamber. I have just been to the senators’ car park and this is a very two-faced, false debate we are having here on this bill because no-one is putting their money where their mouth is. Down in the senators’ car park at the present time there are 22 vehicles. Eight of them are ACT registered guzzler four-wheel drive vehicles. We know who the people in this building are who have entitlements to cars. They are the officials and ministers and various people. So amongst the government there are some guzzlers down there. To the credit of the senators’ car park, there are three Priuses. Those people should get a tick. Senator Wong, I am not too sure whether you are one of them or not. If you are, take a bow.
