The Minister is concerned about bus lanes and bicycle lanes but he is penalising and crucifying farmers by putting a carbon tax on agricultural diesel. Those who should test these vehicles, especially cars and four-wheel drives, are the farming community who do not drive too far. They stay in their own area. Will the Minister consider giving additional subsidies and incentives to the farming community to test out such vehicles? This would allay the fears he seems to hold.
