No mention of how diesel utes / 4wds / SUVs are still free to ass fuck the air we breathe with impunity under this genius legislation.
Why is the guardian of all places forgetting the swindle albo pulled on this.

It would probably help if we didn't turn around shipments of kei cars. Those things do the least damage by every measure.

You can't exactly jump in a Daihatsu Mira and pull off a school zone gouranga. The gluesniffers in Parliament need to make the pain of registering a vehicle increase with size.

I find it funny they listed Tesla and BYD.... It feels like if they did not meet there targets then what are they selling :P
But yeah still funny how 4WD and SUV's are except and they are still the top selling car class in Aus. So it feels like this is kinda mute.

Byd sells petrol cars as well as EVs
