The reason I appreciate the question from the honourable gentleman so much is that it enables me to correct several of the myths and misinformation that the opposition is peddling in relation to this policy, including the one that the honourable member just perpetuated.

In relation to the FCAI's figures, the FCAI themselves have said, since releasing that figure, that it was 'a very simple analysis', and they went on to say, 'We're not saying that sales from 2023 will be replicated. We're just saying that, if it was replicated, this is what the cost would be.'
