I move:

That the Senate—

(a)

notes:

(i)

the call by French President Jacques Chirac for French car manufacturers to produce hybrid vehicles at affordable prices within 10 years, and

(ii)

that Citroen now plans to have a diesel hybrid vehicle on the road in this time frame, noting its fuel efficiency benefits over petrol hybrid vehicles; and

(b)

encourages the Government to similarly call for Australian auto manufacturers to produce diesel hybrid vehicles.

Question agreed to.
