I move:

That the Senate—

(a) acknowledges that Australian motorists can achieve significant hip-pocket savings at the petrol pump if mandatory fuel efficiency standards are gradually introduced for new vehicles;

(b) notes that new Australian cars consume more petrol than new vehicles sold in China, India, Europe and Japan;

(c) recognises that light passenger and commercial vehicles account for 10 per cent of Australia's total carbon pollution, but this can be easily reduced; and

(d) supports the introduction of mandatory fuel efficiency standards.

Question agreed to.
