 (2) The recipient may select the type of vehicle, from the list of standard vehicles usually made available by the Commonwealth for the purposes of subsection 14(4) of the Act (private plated vehicles) and the determination made for that purpose.
 (3) A recipient may be provided with a vehicle that is not on the list of standard vehicles, on the approval of the Minister, where:

Note: A member must ensure that public resources that are claimed in relation to the conduct of the member's parliamentary business provide value for money, taking into account the need to conduct the member's parliamentary business (see section 27 of the Act).
