Senator DUNIAM (Tasmania—Assistant Minister for Forestry and Fisheries and Assistant Minister for Regional Tourism) (16:16): I seek leave to make a short statement. The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator DUNIAM: The government supports a consumer's right to choose any vehicle technology that suits their needs. Our future fuels strategy will not be limited to one technology but will consider a variety including hybrids, electric, hydrogen fuel cell and biofuel vehicles. The government is already putting in funding behind this, with the $74½ million future fuels package announced as part of the $1.9 billion package for new energy technologies in the budget. New vehicle technologies should be treated equitably with traditional petrol and diesel cars to ensure all motorists contribute to the upkeep of road infrastructure. The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: The question is that general business notice of motion No. 919 standing in the name of Senator Patrick, as amended, be agreed to.
