Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I have got news for the minister: legislation has in fact been introduced in the other place, so there is no speculation in relation to my questions. But I will allow the minister to have a shot at these two questions: firstly, will the minister confirm that the proposed regulation specifying a four-wheel-drive vehicle eligible for exemption under these bungled amendments did not include the Australian-made Ford Territory; and, secondly—and try to answer—does the government stand by its MYEFO projections that the slowdown in the luxury car market caused by the luxury car tax surcharge will remove only $10 million from the luxury car tax revenue this financial year?
