Yes, that is the intention under the APS net zero strategy. Our fleet is an important part of that. It won't be for all of the vehicles. As I think we've made clear, there are some vehicles where that's not possible. But, yes, the government sees its role as being a leader in purchasing electric vehicles, not only to reduce our own emissions—transport emissions being something that we all want to reduce—but also, due to the turnover of our vehicles, because we are generating a second-hand electric vehicle market in this country.

Progress reported.

Senate adjourned at 19:30
