We are in a period of very significant technological change across a range of fronts, and this is one of them. The National Electric Vehicle Strategy is this government's response to that. It's a pathway to cut our transport emissions, but it also has three objectives which are relevant to the question that you ask. The first is to increase the supply of affordable and accessible EVs, the second is to increase the resources, systems and infrastructure to enable rapid electric vehicle uptake and the third is to encourage increased EV demand. Part of that is thinking about waste.

I encourage you to go and take a look at the strategy, have a look at the appraisal and have a look at the measures that are being proposed and set out in that strategy.
