I'm happy to respond. I would note that the sup was about EVs and the primary was about the PRRT, but that's fine. I'm happy to answer as best as I can. I think this government has made clear, very clear, the importance of transitioning to cleaner and more sustainable forms of energy. There is a climate argument for that, there is an economic argument for that, and I think, as has been demonstrated, there is a resilience argument to that transition. Also, as you and I have discussed in this chamber and elsewhere, Senator, we recognise that transitioning the economy is a big economic task. There are many levers, and there are many aspects of this which are required. You've seen what we have done in terms of our investment in renewable energy as well as electrical vehicles.
