Carexpert Founder Paul Maric says car manufacturers will be up for “massive fines” when Labor’s new emissions targets come into effect.
The targets, which will begin next year, aim to reduce car emissions by 60 per cent in five years.
“January 1 – things get pretty complicated,” Mr Maric told Sky News host Steve Price.
“Car manufacturers are up for massive fines that they can either pay to the government or pay as credits to companies like Tesla.
“But it’s going to mean you as a consumer are going to be paying for cars.”

Watch car manufacturers start pulling out of Australia the same way they are starting to in the USA. Make it impossible to manufacture vehicles people actually want and watch the customer base wither like a grape in the sun.
the very idea of all this bs is to force commoners to repent, pay and do not consume (drive car in this case). Nothing more. Too many people, cars, houses, steaks, air conditioners and so on, they consume lebensraum destined for True Elite! Just because these fools trust all lie and bs, continue to vote for liars and do stupidiest things. The same as scammers do.
When these announcers talk about net zero etc, they should just call it the scam, talking about it seems to give it some credibility. The whole thing is total b.s. Do we see China, Russia and India doing their bit to stop he Total extinction of the human race. Nope. Do we see the money grabbing nations threatened by the the total extinction event doing their bit. Nope, they just want to steal money from the stupid and gullible western tax payer. So sick of lies and fraud.
Grow some back bone, stop believing lies, taking handouts to protect your jobs, you people share the same earth as we all do. Lies and untruths will come home to roost down the line.
Oh you save money on power and now cars can they go for a third thing because that is the only consistency is you dont save money but cost you more. Then lets not forget they broken most promises they made and started the biggest waste of time and decisive policy ever.
Bring on a Election and Labour needs to be GONE absolute insanity
A good example of politicians not living in the real world.
I think Bowen missed a few classes when he was studying at University. He clearly has no clue about the economics of business. Labor just know how to spend money and not generate it. I really hope we all give them a reality check come the next election otherwise we will be facing some trying times in Australia. These clowns will totally ruin our lifestyle whilst dancing away to Swift. Embarrassing
It is all just a push by Bowen to discourage manufacturers selling non EV's here.
As usual this is just another money grubbing action from Labour, they honestly don’t care about Australians one iota. 🤬
Australia is such a small market, car makers just aren't going to comply. New car sales will plummet.
It's easy. Get rid of these huge Ute's people are buying and your reduced emissions by 50%.
I heard years ago from a ‘conspiracy mate’ that Australia would be the Guinea pig for something. I thought it was Melbourne thru covid but clearly this green ideology is it!!!! This isn’t going away people it’s here to stay
I bet bowen has never bought a car, loser. I shall keep my car till it falls to pieces as will thousands more.
EV Battery rare earth metals are mined using slave labor in the Congo and places like it.
The rest of the EV itself is just as polluting as any other car constructed of harmful plastics that turn into microplastics and kill marine life.
EV's are a way the ALP rips you off blatantly, unnecessarily, and obviously.
EV's are unsafe and prone to battery fires at which time the doors don't open, and the occupant dies.
Bowen is selling a lie and a financial scam.
Im waiting for Bowen to put forward as a solution to big electric ute range that owners carry a diesel generator in the tray to emergency charge utes used in rural areas .. sounds like the sort of logic and solution the Labor party and specifically Bowen would propose .. the Labor party is playing off everyone as fools .. vote them out everywhere
I’m a former motor mechanic and my daily drive is a 2006 Mk5 VW Golf 2.0 TDI, 6 speed manual which I bought new and still love. I’ve driven several rental EV’s to see for myself and I don’t like them. They’re just appliances, as appealing as a clothes dryer. I do my own maintenance in my fully equipped home workshop and I intend to keep this car in first class mechanical condition and drive it until the Earth freezes over. Many, many other people I know are also going to keep their ICE cars running and not go the EV route. I’m now being asked to do the same with friends and relatives ICE cars.
Why does nobody look at how much fuel container ships use ?
Cars and trucks use nothing compared to the ships look it up and see for your self
If there is one thing, humanity will never ever be able to change climate, no matter how hard they try. In fact, by reducing CO2, which the trees need to live as they scrub the air, there will be no oxygen available to breathe if we keep killing trees by killing CO2.
I suggest humanity does research on this, and they will find that this is true.
Car companies may well just say stuff it.
If becomes uneconomical to sell cars in Australia why bother? We need them more than they need us.
Australia is a very small market which, instead of excepting foreign car manufacturing and emmissions standards has to be difficult and virtue signal to the world.
This may become a total disaster for Australians.
I can only assume that all the people pushing back on emissions standards are all supporting of them and their families getting cancer. Yes, there is a correlation.
Bowen total stupidity he should talk to people in the industry who know what they are doing, instead of carrying on with this crap, never seen such a useless government ever, Albo and his government need to be kicked out ASAP
So much cheaper and SOOO much more effective to get rid of Blackouts Bowen
The handbrake on Australia 🇦🇺
The Left are insane. Complete whackjobs.
Stop buying new…no sales and no sales tax to collect. The wealthy owners of these companies will soon lobby govt because they’re going broke, and govt won’t be getting the gst off your purchase. Govt are only after your money, don’t fight, protest with your wallet and govt will be the first to cry
Australia’s vehicle market is minuscule to most auto builders. They’ll just leave the marketplace. I should.!
The car manufacturers need to challange the gov
What really matters is emissions over whole of life
Meanwhile in china and india…They are ramping pollution up…
Government has to idea.
A turbo diesel engine has the same fuel economy as a hybrid with a smaller engine and better on the highway.
Hybrid dont tow as much and have no balls going up hill as the engine cant charge the battery quick enough.
Government has no idea, the high global temperatures were around before the thermometer.
If they are worried about global warming they should reduce population, stop building, dont put roads in or transport, dont let polies fly to their destinations or overseas holidays as all these are contributors to it as they create or reflect heat. Bring back the horse and float and pedal power
Labor HAS TO GO
Teal/Green member in my electorate full of Government Retirees on indexed pensions who didn’t & don’t care about the rest of us, will love the Bowen doctrine.
They have to go quick smart. We’re stuffed otherwise
A lot of tradies buy these utes because it can carry heavy tools and dirty materials , tow a trailer and pick up the kids . It’s the right tool for the job and 1 registration to pay ,so no need for a 2nd car .
2024 sounds like a good year to buy a REAL car, and hope it lasts a long time.
Australians need to start making noise about this…. living costs are out of control and this is the most ridiculous way of fighting "climate change"
The coalition won't do anything either because they are both in this net zero game together. We don't have a democracy in this country.
This is simply a new tax, that’s all labour ever does, and yet Australian voters keep voting for them. The Australian voters are responsible for the demise off this country
haha….the worst car reviewer i’ve ever had the displeasure to watch……here is a badge, here are the tyres, this is a steering wheel, it has 5 seats, it has an entertainment system……boooorrrrrring
Labor gives Tax relief Then puts up fuel tax . tax on utes going up cost of fuel prices to costly Labor has a money making in there hand here and lot more . Giving hand outs putting up costs
'It won't be easy under Albanese' – how true were those words…
LOL Tesla has plenty of emissions, the creation of body work, batteries, cabling/rubber housing, taking so many computers to run a single car takes away from other technological advancements that could be using the same resources, but just because it doesn't run on petrol it can't be a bad thing right? This government needs a bloody boycott, bring back the liberals, atleast they got us through covid without completely dumpstering the country like LABOR does every single time they are in any form of power.. Thanks for voting them in guys!!
The lunatics are now running the asylum..
#we are only a small market. If Chris Bowen makes it too hard to make a profit manufacturers will just stop selling cars in australia. Bowen idiocy could see us all walking
Fktard Bowen needs to get his arse fked by an EV charger. Deep!
So a smart cookie with a bit of cash would buy this years model of Ute and be ready to sell them at a great profit, at a few thousand dollars less than the 2025 models taxed to death.
Remember 15 minute cities you will not need a car Labor implementing the WEF Agenda
