I thank our guests for being with us. Senator Horkan's questions and Mr. Blevings' answers helped to clarify matters. There is a need for clarification around the cost being experienced by the consumer and Mr. Blevings gave a good explanation. However, there was, and is, annoyance. I hope that the witnesses can see why that frustration and annoyance was felt. We need greater transparency on that matter.

Senator Horkan mentioned price increases at midnight on budget night and the fact that petrol that is already in the tank still goes up in price. That is a matter we need to take cognisance of.

Mr. McIlduff spoke about the movement towards EVs. He said that 12% of the stock of cars is electric. Is the Government on the right trajectory for the electrification of the motor vehicle fleet?
