Got to be balanced against the car 'assembly' rebuild plants that convert these to rhd in Vic.
Be quite a lot of employees work there. |

Lot of people worked in the automotive manufacturing industry in Adelaide, Melbourne and Brisbane but they're long gone too so don't be too sure the government won't turn around and make changes

I'll remove LCT, in exchange for a 15c/L increase on fuel excise, applicable only to diesel, but exemption for vehicles over 4495kg GVM. Watch how quick Ecoboost Ranger would be introduced into the market |

That’s inflation causing
What about the thousands of commercial vehicles under 4495 kg gvm doing last mile delivery? Hmmm? |

Alternatively, I'll get rid of LCT, but you're giving me an extra 10% in GST, bringing it up to 20%. |

$250Mill a year is absolutely nothing to our government and I mean not even small change compared to the gas fields and what they produce around Australia in profits to their overseas owners. Owners that minimise their local profits to nothing through inter-company loans and we as Australians don't get the benefits of our resources. Look at how Norway has a sovereign fund and how it's raised.
One gas field above QLD if treated as though a Qatari owned field would earn it $30Billion in royalties over the life of the field and in our case the Australian government will be lucky to get $3 Billion on a projected $130Bill revenue stream for the gas field owners. We dud ourselves and it's been proven that mining companies may threaten to not spend here and extract the oil/gas/minerals but it's a hollow threat and we don't call their bluff. There is just too so much potential income not to. Look at how Norway treats it's resources and the miners allowed to extract them. https://australiainstitute.org.au/po...m-oil-and-gas/ Chasing ute buyers is the low hanging fruit, easy to gather but in the end financially in the scheme of things won't dent Australia's GDP and only wreck sales of those vehicles. |

Quote:- "The Australia Institute concluded the LCT exemption loophole for utes should be ended because it acts as an incentive to buy vehicles that are worse for the environment."
Which vehicles "are worse for the environment." EVs aren't that good for the environment over their whole life. Dr Terry |
