I have a question on the amendment. Given that the top-selling vehicles are Toyota HiLux, Ford Ranger, Isuzu D-MAX—these are dual-cab utes—as well as, in the top four, the Toyota RAV4, has the government received any advice that there will be pure electric vehicles available, in that class of vehicle, in the following years that would be available for purchase? Has the government sought any advice from manufacturers as to whether those vehicles will be available? My understanding is that they do have some hybrids earmarked but they are still some years away. So what advice have you received as to whether or not there will be those vehicles available, given that that's what Australians are choosing to buy right now?
