We do not have, according to the minister, the number of vehicles sold in this particular category. We have just had to suffer a lecture on economic stewardship from Senator Milne. If we do not know how many cars are impacted—how many cars are sold in those categories—can the minister advise how he was able to tell us in the explanatory memorandum that the impact of this would be $8.5 million? Where was the modelling done? How did we make this analysis if we do not know the number of motor vehicles that will be impacted by this measure?
