The member for Throsby asked me a question regarding LPG in government vehicles. In her question she failed to reveal that her letter to me was requesting that she have a Holden Berlina fitted for LPG. In my answer I pointed out that it was not possible for a Holden Berlina to be fitted for LPG, but there were various other options of cars with LPG that members and senators could choose.

The member for Throsby decided to maintain a Berlina in unleaded rather than going to a different vehicle with LPG. But I would certainly encourage all members and senators to look at their options carefully.
