Thanks very much, Senator Pocock. I appreciate your interest in this area. Essentially, the eligibility of a vehicle is determined by the eligibility criteria. This measure applies only to cars, so it would be dependent on the circumstances—principally on whether or not the vehicle that was thus created was a car for the purposes of fringe benefits tax. As I understand it, there are a set of thresholds that define 'a car' and distinguish it from a more heavy-purpose vehicle and I understand that, among those criteria, is carrying capacity of one tonne. So it would be dependent on the specific vehicle being manufactured or produced.
