EV & ute changes
Saw a news. Seems like it still need them all to vote and go through revisions, so too early to tell.
Other countries have an isolated EV rebate. Here it ties higher pollution vehicles like utes to EVs. It might’ve created a conflict between more suburb/farm/tradie ute drivers vs city EV drivers. Separating the two fee/rebate sounds safer to get support.
December they plan to remove that ute fee, remove the EV rebate, while focus on adding EV charging stations. With all these changes, it’s unclear if the aggregate will cost less or more, and how it affects EV adoption rate.
Inflation in high cost of living is another issue. Where the future parties might reduce vehicle subsidies to focus on cost cutting & reduce inflation, which would help more people than the two vehicle types.
