Senator HARRIS (5:17 PM) —I seek some clarification from the minister about vehicles between 4.5 and 20 tonnes that travel long distances outside the exclusion areas. A vehicle under full maximum load, for instance, from Brisbane to Cairns will consume X litres per 100 kilometres. If it is not able to get a back-load and it returns unloaded, it will use Y litres per 100 kilometres. How does the government intend to track this fuel usage, bearing in mind that the grant relates to the consumption of litres?
