I'm pleased to advise Senator Bernardi and all senators that you won't be hearing my warblings. That is the last thing you would want to hear. I'm not so pleased to advise, but I am happy to make a ministerial confirmation, that Elvis is dead.

Senator Smith interjecting—

Senator Dastyari interjecting—

I'm sorry to disappoint Senator Dastyari. I think Senator Smith quietly behind me just made reference to 'Suspicious Minds'. Perhaps there are some suspicious minds at play in relation to the intent behind this legislation or indeed Elvis's existence or otherwise. Senator Bernardi, I can be very clear that the government will not extend any provisions under this legislation—should there even be any scope to do so, which I don't necessarily believe there is—to the types of vehicles that you have outlined in your question.
