It’s about time the automotive industry did what the mining industry did with the mining tax. Start advertising and informing the public how the government will screw the public.
Ill write the Libs election plan for the next election. We will roll back all the woke, socialist crap that labor has forced down our throats in recent years. We will leave all the UN treaties. We will stop all unskilled immigration into the country. There will be a royal commission into the Covid charade and into the misuse of aboriginal funding. Stop all foreign aid. Get spending on core subjects like health, education and defense and stop wasting it on socialist woke crap. There you go, easy win.
Why is Tesla at 0? Don't they count the cost of the fossil fuels mined and the rare earths mined by petrol and diesel into the equation? Then there are the diesel generators at their power point to recharge. Its total hypocrisy.
Already in trouble… 20 years of poor decisions are going to catch up. There will still be an option to privately import car yourself. Just pay the tax. Or pay tax upfront😅
If i could make petrol or hydrogen in my backyard and put it in my car each day, travel to wherever and back, and then fill up again and not pay future tax (fuel excess that goes into general revenue) then i would seriously consider. Pay tax upfront for the infrastructure. Is it possible? I suppose if you have spare odolls but i don't.
Typical Sky News scare mongering that ignores the facts and basically spreads misinformation and conjectures. Australia stands out as one of the few advanced economies without a NEVS. Bowen is only bringing Australia into line with car regulation in other counties. NEVS doesn’t ban any vehicles but requires companies to balance high-emission vehicles with more efficient ones or purchase offsets from other companies.
Labor vermin.. You have to laugh how they portray themselves as the working man's party yet in reality they're so far up the asses of the rich woke globalist elite it's not funny.. Absolute scum the lot of them..
Bowen's plan is nuts!! He needs to consider the full life cycle of emissions not just tail pipe……..manufacturing EV's aint green at all…..even Volvo's study showed EV's need to travel 70,000 miles (113,000 kms) just to break even with manufacturing carbon footprint of ICE cars! Not to mention all the other not so green EV myths like coal/gas fired charging, tyre landfill as they chew through tyres, extra tyre particle pollution, battery e-waste…..the list goes on.
The problem with fleet average legislation is you can't force consumers to buy the product that complies to the legislation. They will buy the car they want and if the can't they will buy the next best car from someone else. And if they can buy a new car they will buy a used one or they will fix up their current car.
They will never buy a car that can't do what they need no matter how much Chris Bowen demands they do.
Company’s have known for years this emissions reduction where coming in but decided not to do anything about it hope they could pressure governments with oh jobs will be lost
So on Bowens Ideology soon we will have no cars as we currently have no car manufacturers. If EV's are so profitable and good, Why have Ford, GM, Honda and Toyota stoped making them. They know the vast majority want petrol and diesel cars
The other stupid thing I’ve heard is Bowen wants to or is going to tax adblue, which is an adaptive to some diesel utes and most trucks to helps with the pollution output of those trucks. This guy needs to go.

They tried this crap in NZ and when Labor got kicked out the Nats reversed it.

Albo, as has been shown, is a liar….They are literally sending this great country down the shitter
Bowen ur on the pipe mate
I couldn't afford another car now anyway, I'm $20k per year out of pocket because of these GRUBS!
Ok… so when are Aussies going to stand up and say enough is enough?
Company’s have known for years this emissions reduction where coming in but decided not to do anything about it hope they could pressure governments with oh jobs will be lost
Bond is a descriptive word for adhere, or stick to. Shit adheres and sticks as well.
It is absolutely time to bring in term limits for these absolute asshole politicians.
