1 - 3) I refer the Member to Parliamentary Question LC 454, which detailed the Government's current policy where eligible vehicles are replaced at the end of their lease terms by another six-cylinder vehicle, then 25% of such vehicles should be LPG-powered. Vehicles in the Minister's Office fleet are part of the Department of the Premier and Cabinet's vehicle fleet, which has exceeded the 25% target with 28% of eligible vehicles LPG powered. Across Government, the purchase of LPG-powered vehicles has, at 27%, slightly exceeded the target. 40 % of the cars in the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure's office fleet use hybrid technology. 4) Not Applicable 5-6) The first two vehicles which the Minister had were gas powered, however, the Ministers current car is the even more fuel efficient hybrid electric vehicle.
