I would have to get it retyped. It is just a sort of scribbled list. I am happy to see what I can do to facilitate that. You asked about the second reading amendment which was circulated with an extra part on it a little earlier. The revised amendment was required because it would have clashed with Senator Xenophon’s amendment. So there was a need to add an extra phrase.

You asked how many cars were sold that are now under the threshold. The information on the degree of model specification required to respond to one of your questions is not publicly available. So we do not have some of that information, but this is about providing an incentive for the future. You also asked what the government amendments say for each model. It will vary. The saving will depend on whether the car is above or below the threshold. An itemised list is not available at this time. We will see if we can find some information to add to that, if it is possible in the available time. I hope that covers all the questions that you asked.
