I'll take that interjection. Allow me to remind the senators on the other side that it was your own policy back in 2016 to introduce a new vehicle efficiency standard and, during the Turnbull government, Senator Simon Birmingham said:

The government intends to encourage more efficient vehicles, which will reduce fuel use and mean cheaper petrol bills for families in the future.

Have we forgotten that? I wonder.

Speaking of being able to choose the vehicle that is right for you and your family but having more options and having the ability to buy a car by 2028 that will save $5,710 over five years, as surprising as it may sound, it's good for the hip pocket and the environment. They're not mutually exclusive, and you can have one with the other.
