Australia Automobile Association Managing Director Michael Bradley says Australia needs a fuel efficiency standard to maintain access to a “first world vehicle fleet”.
Mr Bradley joined Sky News Australia to discuss the push for transparency on road data as well as the new vehicle efficiency standards.
“We’ve been asking … a piece of regulation like this for some time – years,” he said.
“You basically have a choice as a country – do you want the first-world version of the cars being made? Or the third-world version?
“The technologies relating to efficiency, emissions, safety, they all come bundled, we want to be on the list of countries that get sent the best cars.”

I’m still waiting for concrete proof that CC is caused by humans
They are driving Australians further into poverty by forcing people to buy more expensive "American and German" vehicles. American lobbying.
Yep, even industry agrees with government on this one. Reform, or fall by the wayside. Vote ALP, it's the closet we will get to a socialist government — the government we need!
i'll stick with third world , it's cheaper.
While turning Australia into a third world.
The real '1st World' left AU behind years ago. We are '1st World' in our own hubris & lunch time. Eurasia is first world but the west won't admit the truth.
No, it doesn't.
What a load of bullshit.
We get all the cars anyway regardless of the emissions standards.
MORE LABOR LIES & SCARE CAMPAIGNS to shoehorn us into buying and driving lemon EVs
Ev banned on shipping and underground parking around the world because of fire risk 😂😂😂
Storm in tea cup, think old mates full of it
And of they are trying to bribe us into submission, just say F OFF! Their loss, make our own cars, why must we rely on orhers all the time… F..k i hate modern Australia and Australians.
Transition now. Educate yourself, then vote eco-socialist!
People did vote ALP and they've been useless.
Bleating "VOTE LEFT" as if people didn't already is absolutely cretinous…but that's Labor voters 😎
*"TRANSITION NOW"*
It bleats 🤣
Why don't you get off your computer and do something, FH?
People DID vote Socialist and you're still not happy, so why bother? 😁
Also, nobody respects your opinion….that's on you 😎
First world vehicle fleet in a third world country doesn’t work
Pocock, the traitor from the Teals.
Communist crap, control of the people by mad people. Just sick of this BS, the lies are unbelievable.
I have a motorcycle which runs on methanol.
I wish I could pass a law that stops anyone that gets their travel costs for free from increasing the cost for those that don't
A lot of this nonsense comes from the EU, in an attempt to lower world living standards. Higher car prices, less demand for cars. Drive wherever and whenever you want, how dare you.
It is much more than the religious global warming beliefs of left wing politicians and their bureaucrat accomplices, it is all about government control.
Even appliances and TV's you buy from later this year must meet new EU energy efficiency standards, manufactures quietly respond by making their products less functional.
No. It's just a grab.
I can't see the cars that meet the proposed emission standards meeting my needs.
Stop the conglomerate corporations taking over world governments for their own invested interests. Canberra knows exactly what I’m talking about! 🥳
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Pity we import the lowest grade fuel on earth, our current cars run fine on it but the latest European cars especially diesels won't. Sounds like another opportunity to up the Excise Fuel Tax to me.
Why? Aren't we an independent country? What was our emission rate again? Oh yeah, less than 0.1%% of world pollution. Bet China and India are jumping to conform.
You can rack off with your fuel rubbish. Bet these people go everywhere in planes. Problem reaction solution.
We have vehicle emissions standards already, they mirror EURO, we don't need this bill, which is all about forcing people off the road and tge rich into dangerous, environmentally disasterous, electric vehicles!!!
What we need is a government that looks at real science, not puppets that follow orders from china/wef
why do we need those emition standert now and not like 25 years ago when every one else was doing it
Our diesel could be so much better at no cost,
Australia has vehicle emissions standards. We adhere to Euro5&6 standards. Taxing Australians for their choice of vehicle that is fit for purpose is unacceptable.
Third world – thanks for asking
