I am of the strong belief that if you have a measure such as this it should be of the emissions that we are concerned about, but I accept that, for the purposes of the current government amendment, we are talking about vehicles that consume seven litres per 100 kilometres or less. I understand the government is also supporting a Family First amendment which will exempt four-wheel drives, and I wonder how many litres per 100 kilometres they might consume.
