Hon SUE ELLERY replied:
I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.
(1) Yes.
(2) The answer is within a table, so I seek leave to have the table incorporated into Hansard.

Hon SUE ELLERY: Airport pick-ups and drop-offs are often conducted in government vehicles in order to be more efficient with the time of government drivers as it allows the drivers to return direct to the garage without returning the minister's car to their place of residence.
