I'm just providing some context to that, President. I will come to the question. Guess who said this:

So when fuel efficiency standards were introduced in the US, the most popular models before introduction stayed the most popular models after introduction … what we'd call utes …There wasn't a material change in price and we don't expect that there would be a material change in price here.

That goes directly to your question. Who said that? The member for Bradfield! What happened to him? That's when those opposite used to believe in fuel efficiency standards.
