Very heartened to see the ABC covering Australia’s pivot to large cars in top slot on their website yesterday:
Australia’s love of big cars is undoing the benefits of the shift to EVs - ABC News https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-07-15/big-cars-on-aussie-roads/102603092
Article talks about banning advertising as we did with cigarettes👍. But let’s also copy the plain packaging idea: You can only buy them in 1 boring colour. Those truly buying for utility shouldn’t care.
Re Tax breaks this is the sort of cooked stuff you can get up to in Aus, nearly all claimed on tax as business use:
Tradie 1 has added dog cage to their tax payer funded ute, making it unsuitable for work duty, so needed to add tax payer funded trailer as well. Tradie 2 has only added a snorkel to the tax payer funded camping weekender, but since they chose the dual cab option they’ve got bugger all space for tools in the tray - also needs a tax payer funded trailer.
