by leave—I move the second reading amendment standing in my name:

At the end of the motion, add:

"but the Senate calls upon the Government to work to minimise liquid fuel use in Australia, improve fuel security and lower the cost of compliance with Australia's 90 day stockholding obligation, by:

(a) introducing a mandatory vehicle emission or fuel economy standard;

(b) introducing measures to encourage the uptake of electric vehicles;

(c) introducing measures to encourage mode switching from private vehicle transport to mass transit or active transport options; and

(d) the development and publication of a comprehensive transport energy plan directed to achieving a secure, affordable and sustainable transport energy supply."
