          <by role="member" id="605">The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (15:24):</by>  I don't believe any of the ministerial fleet are electric at all. I am prepared to have a long discussion with the Hon. Mr Simms, if he likes, about cars. What I know about cars is what I am advised, as opposed to any inbuilt knowledge about cars. I suspect he is talking about the total state fleet as opposed to ministerial fleet. There has been an answer to a question provided to I think the Hon. Mr Parnell in the past in relation to the whole state fleet and that's a much bigger group of cars than whatever it is, 20 or so, that are in the ministerial fleet.</text>
        <text id="202105068ab94014291249a380000297">I can assure you that the state fleet is not all Genesis vehicles because they aren't required to carry passengers and the like. I am happy to talk to the honourable member about the MPs car scheme as well, if that is of any interest to him.</text>
