Mr Kelvin Thomson asked the Treasurer, in writing, on 14 September 2006:

For each financial year since 1 July 2000, what was the total cost of fuel purchases for all Commonwealth cars operated by the Minister’s department and agencies.


Mr Costello (Treasurer) —The answer to the honourable member’s question is as follows:

Since July 2000, the Australian Office of Financial Management, the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority, Inspector General of Taxation, National Competition Council and the Productivity Commission have not incurred any expenses relating to fuel purchases for Commonwealth cars as these agencies do not have any Commonwealth cars.
