@trelord75 I don't have a problem paying a road user tax, but it should be levied on ALL road users, at a federal level, and based on WEIGHT, not fuel used. So those ridiculous utes that just keep getting heavier and heavier are appropriately taxed. Carbon price on petrol should be instigated as well, take the petrol excise out altogether and just make a road user charge for all vehicles, it was annoying having to submit my odo, but why shouldn't everyone, not just EVs??

The average ute in Australia is now 2 tonne. My Mitsubishi Minicab-MiEV weighs about 1.2 tonne, around HALF that of the average ute!!

When ​ute​ owners stop getting tax breaks and start paying road user charges AND a carbon tax for filling the air with far more poisonous exhaust fumes than they need to get where they need to go, that will be a good day.
