 Tom McINTOSH (Eastern Victoria) (19:10): (2480) My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Public and Active Transport in the other place. The action I seek is an update on Victoria’s transition to zero-emission buses. Every electric bus saves 40,000 litres of diesel, and with hundreds of electric buses rolling out across Victoria, that is millions of litres of diesel that can go into farmers’ tractors or into trucks that deliver food to our stores, keeping costs down for all of us. Electric buses are 30 to 40 per cent cheaper to maintain, and they are cheaper to charge, saving money for all of us and reducing fuel demand.
