Liberal Senator Dave Sharma says he is a “little sceptical” about the Albanese government’s fuel efficiency standards.
The federal government revealed it will set minimum standards for manufacturers on fuel consumption and carbon emissions in vehicles they sell in Australia.
There are concerns the target of a 60 per cent emissions reduction in vehicles by 2030 may price popular four-by-fours and Utes out of the market.
“There is a question about whether this policy has got the balance right between reducing emissions on the one hand but still enabling consumers to have choice and keeping vehicles affordable on the other,” Mr Sharma told Sky News Australia.
“We see with Chris Bowen’s track record in other areas of his portfolio, he often plunges headlong into setting targets without thinking too much through the detail of how those are actually going to be met, whether the technology is there, whether the market’s functioning the way that he expects them to.
“I’m a little sceptical about this one but I’ll wait to see the details.”

The country needs less government intervention
9 years of Liberal Party economic incompetence and mismanagement have led to our current high cost of living. Climate change deniers, and Putin supporters, are responsible for our high cost of power.
No one is listening to these fools
Labor is marketing electric cars for china, its that simple
Biggest con going
Screw electric cars we need more petroleum manufacturing in Australia for Australians 😂

Tensions Rise in the North as Russia Bolsters Arctic Presence with New Icebreaker
The launching ceremony for the icebreaker, named Leningrad, of the Project 22220 series, was held in St. Petersburg a few days ago. Putin's personal attendance at the event signals the project's critical importance to Russia's strategic interests in the Arctic.
Leningrad, a fifth-generation nuclear-powered icebreaker, represents the fifth production unit of the Project 22220 series. These icebreakers, the largest of their kind globally, are pivotal to Russia's plan to assert its dominance in the Arctic region. Such vessels are essential for any significant economic ventures in the northern latitudes due to their unparalleled capability to navigate through thick ice.
La Razón's coverage emphasized the strategic significance of the Leningrad icebreaker: "This is the Leningrad, a powerful Russian nuclear icebreaker with which Putin aims to deliver a decisive strategic advantage."
The development of icebreakers like the Leningrad poses a considerable challenge to Western countries attempting to compete with Russia in the Arctic. The United States and other nations lack a comparable fleet of ships with the ability to break through three-meter-thick ice and lead maritime expeditions. Russia's continued advancement in icebreaker technology ensures its stronghold in the Arctic, making its position in the region nearly unassailable."
Albo and co pushing everything anti Australian..
Certainly not working for Australia
Bowen a clown..
Obviously paid by the wef as well
Albosleezy is clueless village idiot no one wants Ev duds
***QUACK QUACK went the NOALTION*** Can we have more Co2 please…. to help with our extinction on the planet.
People won't realise the plan is to price the peasants out of having a car until its to late and they dont have a car. 🤦♂️😂

This advertisement for the Robodebt right wing conservatives is brought to you by those who intentionally amplified false and untruthful information about dominion to their own companies paying subscribers…
The Murdoch family…….🤑
😆😆😆
Albo you're a retard a pure retard!! Why do you hate working class and poor people so much??
Electric cars are a myth. Politicians don't care if electric cars – don't work. This is the problem of modern labor. You just have to make out – on any issue – they will go to some stupid – way off idea. That car manufacturers wont touch. Car manufacturers are only making electric cars – because governments are telling them to do it.
That business model is going to send car manufacturers broke. Or car manufacturers – simply make petrol and diesel cars – more expensive to pay for a huge inventory of electric cars they can't sell.
There's a lot of lies – labor and the greens wont own up to – on energy policy. You can't rush development. The battery technology of electric cars – is where there a huge range of roadblocks.
Toyota was the leading manufacturer. And hybrid cars – was the best of both worlds. And Toyota still believes that to be the case. That tells you something.
Politicians are not engineers. They have got into the mode of – they make out they know everything. And people don't understand – labor and the greens lie to you every day. As they have invented this make believe world. And people like what they hear. They just don't understand – it is never possible.
And if labor does not sober up to reality. Voters – will throw lying labor out at the next general federal election.
LNP oppose everything and stand for nothing.
We want 95 octane fuel at the pumps
EXCELLENT NEWS MAGA—> **4 days ago — One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has declared she will support the new stage three tax cuts as long as the Australian people remember Prime**
Lets get this straight jab news its a world economic forum agenda Albosleezy is running jack shit
When will governments stay the fuck away from stuff they know nothing about, there are no EV alternatives
.
The comments of late on sky Australia shows clearly that subscribers are no longer fooled as easily as they once were by the Murdoch propaganda machine.
Good bye all car brands and only brands that will be available are cheap Chinese electric cars. And huge job losses as car manufactures wont be able to afford the fines and adapt in such short time frame! Government is completely incompetent!
Another Fuck Up in the making by an incompetent Albosleezy government.
So all big car brands will go broke in Australia and huge job losses due to the high fines that will be given. Only cheap Chinese electric cars will take over. Government are so incompetent! No way brands can adapt to this in such short timeframe!
The Green Agenda in action…
Governments will come after your vege garden soon too, apparently they produce MORE CO2 than commercial farming.
Google: Community Gardens Have Six Times the Carbon Footprint of Agriculture
The money Ev agenda is pushing your higher taxes. They bought your politicians
Fuel efficiency standards will mean that Australia will no longer be a dumping ground for yesterday's technology.
Excellent. Time we did something about the enormous American pick up truck plague. If it doesn’t fit in a standard car park it’s not a passenger vehicle suitable for daily commuting. It’s a luxury item
Pricing 4WDS and utes out of the market is a design feature, not an oversight by a government who would happily reach into your shower to adjust the water temperature to whatever they thought you deserved.
Watch car dealers go broke if this rogue regime introduced this law, Australia like America will isolate itself & become the pariah
F ALP bunch of crooks.
Albo never learns it is the Climate Emergency, (Shorten) No Utes crap all over again, now his popularity will really plunge!
Don't worry he will be ousted soon your utes are safe.
If Chris Bowen introduces a policy with the words “this will save the consumer money”, get your wallets out.
I know, I’ll use my promised $275 off my annual power bill to cover the extra !!!!!
All this is because they woke up to the fact that reaching their targets by 2030 is just a pipe dream.. So now they will do anything to bring down the country.
Get a motorbike. Cheap to buy and run, easier to get through traffic and park.
If Albanese want to fix the Tax system he could start by removing Indexation.
Hey EV owners, How's the 12-16% increase in charging prices, the second in 6 month, going for you?
Suck the Fuel from Russian pipe and problem solved… St.Thomas
50% tax on fuel goes to the government 😢…
Lib and Labor want you stuck in your 15min city.
We aren't Europe, and you only have to look at California to see what hardine communists, like Sleezy and Bowen are doing!
The purpose of these unattainable standards is to destroy the market for ICE automobiles. The left did the same thing in the US.
At some point you can't get any more energy out of a gallon of gasoline. It isn't infinite.
