Sky News host Paul Murray slams the increased taxes on hybrid cars as a “luxury” tax while Australians are facing fuel price increases and Labor is introducing new fuel standards.
“They are introducing new fuel standards, which means any new car, from halfway through this year – definitely the start of next year and beyond will have to meet higher fuel efficiency standards,” Mr Murray said.
“This means that certain cars will either not be allowed to come in or you will have to fiddle with parts of the engine.
“This government just wants to get as many people to electric vehicles as possible which is why they have introduced luxury car tax on hybrids.
“The claim and the media spin was that all of this will save you a thousand dollars a year when it comes to how many times you have to go to the petrol pump.”

They will fine people for unregistered scooters, bicycles, and skateboards next.
They already fine people for using these kids' toys.
I prefer to ignore what you say!
Just another tax to influence the mere population to do what the labor elites want…
I'm not sure but I understand the $ value for EV's rebates were influenced by lobiests for Tesla. (Bribed)
Now they have to pay that said lobbyists back by taxing Hybrids. Talk about corruption….
Bowen is an idiot, vote these people out!
They try to make you buy EV believed or not cos that’s is the plan they working on that the only reason
Everything and anything everyday Aussies like to enjoy…..you can bet your house on it that LABOR will tax you on it. These bastards are NO FOR THE PEOPLE. They are here to feather their own nests and tax Aussies to cover up their horrendous financial mistakes. They lie, they cheat, they betray us by supporting other countries and they stop us (FFS) from using our own natural resources yet happily sell them to other countries to also plug gaps in their fiscal incompetence. We are run by kindergarten kids who are so far out of their depth, it's mind blowing.
What an absolute con
So most taxis are now clissified as luxuray cars?
What a complete moron Albo is, and his Labor clown club !! Your tax cut has been wiped out and we still have 6 months to wait for it !!
You're a loser, Paul.
Please don’t show hat boi on your show…he gives me ptsd😢 he’s such a liar
Scrap petrol tax and gst and council rates.
When hat boi says trust me…my SPIDEY senses go red 🥵 I think he’s a 🤥
Who here is planning to buy a hybrid? Thought not.
well i drive a 1998 toyota starlet!! in 3months ive put $130 of fuel in! hard to believe such an old car is so good on fuel haha
Starting soon EV cars will be taxed 2.5c per kilometre. That will increase as more EV's hit the road to cover the tax revenue lost from petrol.
It's a circus.
Labor insults the average Australian by thinking we're all stupid. Labor gives us 'relief' money at tax time, but takes twice as much from us throughout the year. The stupid fools that vote Labor in think Labor are fantastic, ignorance is bliss!
Increased fuel tax and 3rd highest alcohol tax in the world. Wake up Australia vote is crap government out.
The issue about Albo's dishonesty, something that he will not admit, is the indisputable fact that the treasury and the Labor party ministers knew about the changed position months before while Albo told us, "…our position has not changed…". This is disingenuous and dishonest by anyone's standards.
pot hole??? Local councils repair local roads, states repair state main roads, and that does NOT leave many roads for the Feds to fix. The premise that the tax is to fix roads is BULLSHIT!
Its the Euro 6 standard,,, means the death of the Ford Ranger
Plus GST on that. Double taxed bloody rip off
Dont forget about the beer tax that has just gone up. Going to be over $15 for pint of beer!
What amazes me is people actually voted this government in?
What a mob of incompetent fools we have currently running our country.
My 5 yr old could do the maths and realise she was getting ripped off.
Hopefully the people responsible for voting these clowns in feel the pinch which im confident they will amd realise they have made a mistake and vote these clowns out at the next election. 🙏🙏🤞🤞
Well they had to pay for Covid mismanagement somehow… ❤
The elite is push full ev. What about the digging up of the earth to do so. Hybrid is the answer yet tax it. Sgort sited dickheads
All these politicians are criminals and should go to jail for holding people to ransom
But that is twice a year
And up go the prices in the shops,
Mineral rich countries like Australia should not be controlled by jews or arabs.
So they give tax cuts but increase tax and we are back at Net Zero but with a side salad of inflation. Smoke and mirrors be buggered, this is straight out fraud and incompetence!
he also took away Low INCOME offset and did nothing to keep it for couple of year to help ! where did that MONEY GO ?
Ah you don't get it, you gotta understand ALBO'S LABOUR WANTS US TO ALL DRIVE $100,000 ELECTRIC CARS that have ZERO infrastructure or BASE LOAD POWER to support them.
I think it's time the average Australian needs to overthrow this dictatorial government before they exact they're laws on us
We need an electric tax on all electric vehicles imported into Australia as their owners can afford it
If you have a war a oil, gas, coal, energy will skyrocket and that's exactly what the labor party are doing
The left want higher petrol prices as it helps their green agenda.
More and more close to Communist China, similar government style.
any tax increasing should be under the approval by tax payer since it's the behavior of taking the money from our pocket. Otherwise it will be regards as robbing or stealing without admission.
Albanese said some time ago that the government could not do anything about peterol prices. Another lie because it could by reducing the excise of $49.6 cents per litre which is roughly 30% more than it would be without the excise.
And in adelaide its been $1.65 for many weeks. This isnt the war jn ukraine, not the world oil price, its petrol retail prices
Yep murrsy 1c a litre
So now he’s stopped the grey nomads travelling because they can’t afford fuel, what happens to the 100’s of towns that rely on them travelling Australia and spending their money???
As for the stage 3 tax cuts, he bought votes with promised money, it’s as simple as that. It’s the most disgusting lowest form of politics I’ve seen. The bloke wouldn’t know what honesty was if it smacked him in the mouth. He’s just cringeworthy embarrassing. The people of Australia are bent over with every bloody thing we do – ‘I’m an honest man’ – please Albo just stop bloody talking
How much of the petrol can you get for the tax cut?
