I'll come back to you on whether there's anything I can provide about the vehicles you get for being a parliamentarian. Is that what you're talking about? I know there are MPs with electric vehicles, and there are MPs and senators with hybrids as well. You only have to look in the carpark, in the basement, to see that.

In terms of COMCAR, we would be wanting to move towards electric vehicles through that, and certainly through the APS, through our fleet, where we are able to, to replace these with electric vehicles. Obviously there will be some vehicles, including special-purpose vehicles and in Defence, for example, where that is not possible. So we'll take a sensible and responsible approach. But we want to generate an affordable second-hand car market as well. We're a big purchaser of vehicles, and it's responsible and shows a bit of leadership for the government in doing that.
