@kevinbarry71 - there's nothing abnormal, wrong or immoral about that - governments use price-signalling all the time - look at how much a packet of cigarettes costs, for instance. In this case, no one's stopping you buying that gigantic thing to drive that makes you feel all secure in your manhood, but you are not unreasonably going to be asked to pay more for it. Governments have done this all along with cars and John I'm-starting-to-love-the-sound-of-my-own-bon-mots Cadogen is being completely disenguous about this whole thing. Governments here encouraged you to buy Australian-made with the 57.5% tariff on imported cars in the 70s and 80s, in the US they've had CAFE - Corporate Average Fuel Economy figures that companies must meet else pay penalties, congestion zones, low-emission zones, banning diesels from city centre in many cities in Europe - all perfectly normal ways of encouraging a population to make certain choices. You can go the other way if you want, but you pay more. The world is not a free-for-all, we're in a society and if some actions impose a greater cost on the common good, then they should be more expensive.
@@zwerko- or you could look at it and say "I don't need three tonnes of steel to drive to and from the supermarket, or tennis, or golf", and buy something smaller.

Darren, mate - what are you gabbling on about? These rules are for new cars. And they're introduced gradually too - if it's a new model, the rules apply from the beginning of 2025. If it's an old model, the rules apply from the beginning of 2028. And if you're still driving your old car, the rules don't apply to you at all. So calm down and pay more attention to the quality of your arguments..
I believe that while Australia exports a lot of coal. It's only about 2% of China's consumption. If we stopped selling it to China it would be a simple matter for China to increase their own coal production to cover the shortfall. There's only downside to stopping coal exports.
A good example being during COVID, China canned out imports of coal because we asked them for an independent investigation into the origin of the virus. China replaced our imports with Indonesian and South African coal which is inferior to Australian coal. You need a copious amounts of coal from these two countries to be equivalent to our clean coal that we export
Love your work John. We need more real people willing to say it how it is in our country. Things are grim and garbage politics and smoke and mirrors information is killing cool car culture.
The worst time to try and say to Australians we will save you money if you buy an EV. Who has up to $90,000 at the moment to splash out on an EV that does not go far enough. The cars that we actually do want to buy will be more expensive to buy. Unless the dealer is willing to absorb the cost.

My 17 year old Corsa 1.2 petrol did 32mpg, my replacement six year old Seat 1.2 turbo petrol does 47mpg, THAT IS FUEL EFFICIENCY that is never acknowledged as a massive improvement against THEIR stupid Climate Change.
What on earth are you trying to say? Why do you think your six year old car is more efficient than your 17 year old car? Because of emission control and fuel economy regulations. All you've done is make the government's point - newer cars, with newer technology, are faster, cleaner and more fuel efficient. If we don't upgrade our rules from 2009, those changes will only trickle through to us.
@@sirjohng1 - mate, if it were obvious, I wouldn't have had to ask. Increased fuel efficiency is accepted - it's why, despite a huge increase in the number of vehicles on the road since even the 1990s, the atmospheric ppm of CO2 hasn't gone through the roof, and the rise in temp hasn't blown through 2º C. But with the number of cars around the world still increasing, they still need to become cleaner and use less fuel.
, how are you measuring efficiency? Is it measured by more mpg? All new cars are more fuel efficient and cleaner running then they were in 2009. The Ute tax will be applied for CO2 emissions not the mpg or L/100km, which is not fuel efficiency. The ICE manufacturers who do not meet the CO2 emissions will be fined per gram of CO2 and will be buying CO2 credits from the EV manufacturers a cost they'll be passing onto the buyers. .
@@brankobaric5138 - despite the blatherings of John Cadogen, it's not a "Ute tax", who has his knickers in a particular twist about this for no good reason I can see. It's an across the board emissions control regulation, such as the government has periodically introduced since the first ADR27a in ummm, 1976 I think. There were wailing and moanings then too - power outputs fell and fuel economy too, but it was very early days but soon things were cleaner and better and more powerful than ever. As to all new cars ... - that's not exactly the case with Australia. If the manufacturers have moved entirley to Euro VI cars then sure, that's what we'll get - but if they have production lines they haven't upgraded yet, then they can still offload them here.
If you make the standard higher your choice goes down as you’re aware when you buy anything. The higher your stand the less to choice. Chris Bowen said you should buy a $250,000 F150 lightning and save $1500. Don’t want to tell him but the way energy is currently going it’s getting higher than diesel.
- is that because of increased Megalopolis urban sprawl, or because they all go to trim the hedges and do the shopping - at granny's retirement home, 3 states over, once a month???
We're at 420ppm of co2 in the atmosphere. Tell us the optimum level of co2. Tell us at what level of co2 all plant life will die. Tell us how the planet worked through 6000ppm and came out the other end unscathed. Tell us why we've had 50 years of failed predictions of climate doom. For starters....
There’s one little fine print bit that seems to be missing from all the BS about better efficiency, cheaper fuel etc. In order to meet the new standards the petrol needs to be of a “higher quality” - which will certainly be more costly than current fuel. So any minuscule improvement in fuel efficiency will be more than offset by the higher per unit prices.
The government can save us fuel prices by getting rid of the tax on tax for fuel, GST, and Excise tax. Excise tax is 49.6 cents per litre as of February 2024.
For fuggsake, if they want to "save us money at rhe bowser", they can reduce their friggin' petrol tax, or get oil companies to explain why diesel fuel now costs more than twice what it cost before covid.

The only way I can make sense of the fact we being forced into using electric vehicles despite everyone hating the idea is not because of climate change but instead is because we are getting ready for ww3, climate change is just an easier to digest reason without causing as much panic. From memory when I looked it up last Australia gets 90-95% of its oil from south-east Asia and the last 5-10% from America, so basically forget the middle east if China makes a move to blockade south-east Asia there goes 90-95% of our oil supply.
Not right . We actually drill more oil than we use . We just send it elsewhere. So we can buy back at higher cost . Better for the world economy that way .
@@davidheath2427 without doing a whole lot of research, the first 3 results when Googling this question suggest that Australia produces approx one third of its requirements in crude oil. I do agree with you that we then send most of that away to be processed elsewhere, because any Australian industry finds it hard to compete with low labour costs in neighbouring countries.
I hate buying fuel at $2 plus a ltr but the cost at the butt-plug charger via electric grid is just as a net zero dry wet dream…. Dreaming in a not good way!
I think thats what's good about this policy. Its encouraging manufacturers to serve up smaller ICE cars along with EVs. Imagine if the policy was an EV subsidy, like many state govs do? Waste of tax payer funds and not a practical solution
John. I have a question. What, in your opinion should we be doing then? I agree that the government are a bunch of muppets that really have no idea.....about anything really. What should we do? Plants are growing better today than they have in many decades. The planet is greening and this is an established fact. The question is, what should we do about climate change? Taxing the crap out of us seems to not be a good response in my estimation.
We personally can't do anything apart from putting solar panels on the roofs. And batteries when the technology eventually becomes efficient...in like 15 years. The fact is that just 100 companies have contributed to 70% of greenhouse gasses emissions since 1988. Those are big powerful companies with huge political lobbies and will do everything to protect their profit. In other words it is easier to dump it all on us, the little people, than dealing with these giants. So we get to drive our little expensive electric cars making no impact on the climate whatsoever. It is all hypocrisy.
John, considering the numerous instances of climate change that occurred prior to human existence, what specific evidence leads you to believe that the current climate change phenomenon is primary driven by human activities?
And if it is, why is the planet still here when it's been much worse in the past? There are mechanisms this planet has to right itself or it wouldn't be here.
@@mblake0420 it's all on the internet you don't expect him to read it for you? Different planet state, Sun was cooler, even the orbit was different. We are talking periods of over 500 million years the changes have happened do you understand the scale? It is not like we poison the planet today and it will recover tomorrow. Or maybe never? We can't be sure can we? And if you think the impact of CO2 is a joke look at planet Venus, its temperature is 464 degrees Celsius and its atmosphere is 96% CO2.
John, I can go with you a little bit on climate change as a statistic but not that it is solely human caused. This planet has cycled through temperature swings for eons and always righted the ship. I would expect more from you than to fall for the alarmist predictions. Just 50 years ago “the scientists” (as if they are one big homogeneous head) were sounding the alarms about us entering another ice age. Do your research on that scare tactic and you can only come up with the conclusion that “they” are not going to be correct 100 percent of the time. Critical and non conventional thinking is needed in the discussion about climate change as much as it is on effective ways to provide energy solutions that don’t just simply create more cost and taxes
Yup for a smart guy he’s bought into this, humanity destroying planet with increasing CO2, he loses credibility when the planet releases more CO2 naturally with volcanoes then humans could e=er hope to.
Noting Australian politicians stating overnight PV is apparently a great way to charge your car, Fox News is presently reporting fire fighters saying it will take 2-4 weeks to extinguish a large San Diego PV storage battery, which is on fire (again). Doubtless some positive spin is possible, but the operating company is strangely not wanting to be interviewed.
If people use less fuel, the government gets less tax and excise, the govt loves money, so they will take more from fewer sales and find other places to get it.
It will mean INCREASED VEHICLE PRICES! The manufacturers are going to pass the engineering costs into the consumer! Increased unreliability, higher unit prices will make people hold onto their current wheels for longer & shy away from updating!
Hence mitigation and resilience building are the only true way to help protect people from climate change. No austerity measures or virtue signalling will do.
The new standard will hinder by: - wasting more of your money at the car dealer - giving you less choice of new cars that are good in ways other than being fuel-efficient - causing more air and groundwater pollution due to EV fires and improper disposal
I'd be interested to hear your breakdown of the CSIRO's latest missive on the unviability of nuclear power generation as a power source for the nation John.
The report did not say nuclear power was unviable. So that’s a lie. The report said the nuclear power would cost twice as much as renewables on a levelised cost of energy. That is the total cost per TWh over the life time of the asset. The report is wildly optimistic. It’s not double the cost. It’s about six times more expensive than renewables by the time the cost of borrowed money and inevitable cost over runs are taken in to account. Especially when the cost needs to be carried for ten years before any economic benefit is derived. Inviable? In ten years time you and a lot of other people are going to be begging for nuclear base load power. And you will be ten years too late
If they haven't the balls to mandate nuclear for the East coast states how about half a dozen HELE coal fired power stations. High Efficiency Low Emissions coal powered power stations are a great way to go in a country with a 500 year coal supply. The Japanese have them and soon China.
Can't wait to see the price of electricity in the year 2050 . Or how much they tax it . Kiss your aircon good by . It will be way too expensive to run in your home . Or more likely your supply won't handle both charging the car and running the aircon at the same time .
the govt think the average Australian is stupid and unaware of tactical stealth tax. They care about the population less than Joseph Mengele, and have demonstrated this very well over the past four years.
Australia is not an advanced economy - the premise is invalid so we can stop right there. We're basically just mining dirt and building houses at this point
As the climate changes, humans adapt and carry on, it’s no big deal. Electric vehicles means government control, especially with the new digital id bill passed in the senate.
One of the issues also not talked by the government is out dirty petrol (ULP with higher sulphur and aromatics than India and China, let alone advanced nations). John points out that the saving will be $6/wk for the fuel but that is if you can buy and use the same fuel as currently used. There wil be small/modest increase when Australia aligns to low sulphur and reduced aromatics ULP and premium ULP. However, many of the low emissions vehicle and fuel efficient European vehicles need as a minimum 95RON (premium ULP). I think the $6/wk will be lost in price difference between our low grade E10 and ULP and the premium ULP needed to achieve the fuel efficiency the engines can achieve in a lab and/or non real world driving test. How anyone thinks this new efficiency standard can be brought in before the correct fuel specification, cleaner fuel standard (which keeps being delayed because it is more expensive) is an insult to people who have functioning grey matter and not caught up in the political BS of either party.
Seems a funny argument to me: 1. We export coal at almost as quick a rate as that which politicians bullshit, leading to ridiculous amounts of CO2 2. The government wants to "encourage" people to stop buying large utes, which apparently where not required 20 years ago in anything like the amount that are being bought now. This is really mainly about reducing CO2 rather than saving fuel. Also the "Ute tax" (really likely to be a cross subsidy to smaller cars/EVs) isn't likey to be super massive and will only modestly reduce the amount of utes being sold. 3. Since CAFE being enforced (at not that much cost to anyone) will only prevent a modest amount of CO2 emmisions we shouldn't do it. It's like saying policies which do a small amount of good shouldn't be done if theres a bigger problem somewhere else not being addressed.
This is so true. Australia is a carbon based economy. The government’s policies are the modern day equivalent of playing the fiddle while Rome burns. Given the only practical alternative to burning coal is nuclear, it is beyond me why we didn’t start building them a decade or more ago. Of course, it wouldn’t solve the issue of us exporting coal. But it would have been a lot more meaningful than all the measures governments have enacted over the last twenty years.
Yes, it would have been good if Morrison wasn't such a Bible bashing F...k Wit.We have NO LEADERS to TELL US "We are going Nuclear", starting when Abbott was in power.
It's always interesting that private jets and huge super yachts are often carbon tax exempt... And that the people who are most enthusiastic about you and I having our carbon footprint closely monitored, are usually those who use said private jets and yachts and don't want to talk about what their carbon emission numbers are and because they often operate across international borders they're not counted in the overall numbers of total emissions. I'd imagine those people would spew many thousands times what each of us do and yet they are the ones who say we need our emissions controlled and regulated at the micro level, with taxes on taxes to discourage us from destroying the world. It's not like they're even shy about the fact they're not counting their private jets and yachts, they just believe they're entitled to it and you're not. Because they're obviously so much more important than you and I. Obviously.
Burning coal and measuring the subsequent CO2 output is like me getting into my ute and then measuring the weight of me and the ute as the result of me getting into the ute. The ute was already there, I didn't create the ute by getting into it. So measuring my weight as ute+me as the result of an action by me is similar to measuring the weight of oxygen in CO2 emissions from coal burning. The coal didn't contain (to any great degree) the oxygen - it (like the ute) was already there.
Love the rant, anything against the gov is fun to listen. Simply cause they're useless. However, you seemed to have claimed climate change is 100% on us. Almost suggesting climate change was non-existant prior to humans? I'd personally beg very much the differ, unless perhaps, you were referring to some type of accelarated climate change above an expected norm. With all that said, the Great Barrier Reef is doing better in all its recorded history, the Ozone layer hole appears to no longer be a world ending threat, and supposedly our greenery is thriving faster as a result of increased CO2, including in semi-desert regions because plants need smaller pores with which to breathe, meaning they sweat less, and hence can survive on lesser water uptake. It does seem like climate change is a thoroughly hijacked headline to have oligarchs bend us all to their will
it's not quite mainstream yet - but uttering the words 'more green' will be synonymous with 'pay more' and will become a sure fire way to make yourself fairly unpopular.
Dear John, you have to stop with these facts it will continue to ruin their press releases. It would be a boring old world if our politicians actually thought about us just for something different

The battle is between Corporations and Consumers, for the heart of Politicians. Corporations have better coordination, but Consumers vote Politicians into power. Politicians depend on Corporations to support their goal of getting re-elected. Politicians depend on stupid consumers to not question their edicts. It may be time for Consumers to " Not Be Stupid".
@@paulsiebert4863 - take him on? Nah, fine tune the attack maybe. And it's always the time for consumers to "Not Be Stupid"™. I don't know about 'the heart of politicians', but corporate lobbying has led to demonstrably bad outcomes for the taxpayer - look at all those 'Right to repair' bills that kept getting killed in the various states in the US, or the fighting rearguard the tobacco lobby ran all those years here (and everywhere) to make anti-smoking laws an attack on people's freedom. Or the attack by the automotive industry on perfectly legitimate (whatever guff Cadogen sputters about "freedom") regulations on emissions for new cars. In fact, by the immutable law of "don't trust corporations" we come to two not that startling conclusions: 1. if the automotive industry is lobbying against the new emission control rules, the rules must be more benficial to the customer than the corporations, and 2. petroleum companies have much more to gain out of casting doubt on climate change, than climate scientists have in promoting its reality. I like clean air. Despite having old cars and bikes, I admit the perfectly obvious point that their exhaust is filthy in comparison to modern cars. And I happen to believe that not all politicians are created equal - the LNP is more obviously in the pocket of big business. The ALP may be strongly influenced by the union movement, but at its heart, the union movement exists to make things better for workers.
Where are all these alternative car manufacturers lining up to bring in these more fuel efficient vehicles to replace the dreadfully inefficient utes?? And it must be obvious to everyone that there must be other vehicles out there using the same amount or more fuel than a ute. This new standard will not stop people who choose to drive a dual cab vehicle for work or lifestyle reasons, as usual the end user will just be forced to pay more. Thanks John, great video 👍🇦🇺
One point nobody is talking about is this; The public has to be “encouraged” to buy these new vehicles. That can only be done two ways; either lower the price of those efficient cars to a level way less than anything else on the road, or tax the hell out of the cars people want to own and “discouraging” their purchase like that.
There is technology to reduce pollution on cars trucks motorcycles and so on ,on diesel engines by 95 percent and on cars petrol by 50 percent ,the exhaust system unit cost $35 00 each ,this technology has been around for some years now, and has federal government accreditation in the U.S. for pollution control on these Engines to E.U.R.O. 6 stranded witch would go a long way to reduce pollution in Australia.
Not worth pumping your battery power back into the grid at night due to wear and tear on the battery and the present inadequate amount of payment in return for your power. It is shit money. The rip off is you end up supplying power to your neighbors for next to nothing while the energy provider charges them an arm and a leg for the same power. 7 cents they give you 30 cents plus they charge us and them. The math only works in the energy company's favor. Don't put it back into the grid until they start paying for it properly. You will end up paying for a new battery ahead of time while they just freeload. Solar panels through the day are ok to feed back in as it's best to put it somewhere after you have used what you need. But don't cycle your battery unnecessarily.
In the UK legislation has been passed to introduce driverless cars. Once this succeeds, governments will ban all private car transport anyhow and we will all be forced in shared driverless cars after having filled out a form to justify why we need to 'privately' travel. This is where we are heading in the name of saving CO2. In other words, emission of CO2 will ceased to be optional and heavy fines or jail-terms might be in order for anyone who dares to break these rules. This is where we are heading down the track in my view. All the Labor government has to do is to unilaterally proclaim that, in the name of the impending climate emergency to rule by decree, temporarily sidelining or democratic rule, establish a police state, dispense with the rule of law, replace all this with a punitive social monitoring system for draconian control of the masses.
The public private partnership will need to know everything you do and say, so everyone is equitable, stuff the authoritarians. We voted Labor to get rid of the last jab wako, its no mandate
Some how I think there will be riots before then. Its not going to happen, they already knows it won't work. A) because the world is set up for everyone to need personal transport. B) they need the tax money. C) they are already talking of moving end of petrol and diesel to 2040.
Meanwhile China has half of the entire world's coal fired power stations, builds more coal fired power stations every year and there is zero interest from the rest of the world in curbing Chinas coal fired grid or CO2 emissions. China will happily make all of your green solar and wind infrastructure and pump vast amounts of CO2 doing it. Too many people in power are beneficiaries of China being the worlds polluting toxic slave labour hell hole.

I believe that while Australia exports a lot of coal. It's only about 2% of China's consumption. If we stopped selling it to China it would be a simple matter for China to increase their own coal production to cover the shortfall. There's only downside to stopping coal exports.
Also about half the coal we export is metallurgical so essential for steel production not just burnt for power, and no steel no EV's
A good example being during COVID, China canned out imports of coal because we asked them for an independent investigation into the origin of the virus. China replaced our imports with Indonesian and South African coal which is inferior to Australian coal. You need a copious amounts of coal from these two countries to be equivalent to our clean coal that we export

What on earth are you trying to say? Why do you think your six year old car is more efficient than your 17 year old car? Because of emission control and fuel economy regulations.
All you've done is make the government's point - newer cars, with newer technology, are faster, cleaner and more fuel efficient. If we don't upgrade our rules from 2009, those changes will only trickle through to us.
@@thosdot6497 : Pretty obvious really.
@@sirjohng1 - mate, if it were obvious, I wouldn't have had to ask. Increased fuel efficiency is accepted - it's why, despite a huge increase in the number of vehicles on the road since even the 1990s, the atmospheric ppm of CO2 hasn't gone through the roof, and the rise in temp hasn't blown through 2º C. But with the number of cars around the world still increasing, they still need to become cleaner and use less fuel.
, how are you measuring efficiency? Is it measured by more mpg? All new cars are more fuel efficient and cleaner running then they were in 2009. The Ute tax will be applied for CO2 emissions not the mpg or L/100km, which is not fuel efficiency. The ICE manufacturers who do not meet the CO2 emissions will be fined per gram of CO2 and will be buying CO2 credits from the EV manufacturers a cost they'll be passing onto the buyers.
.
@@brankobaric5138 - despite the blatherings of John Cadogen, it's not a "Ute tax", who has his knickers in a particular twist about this for no good reason I can see.
It's an across the board emissions control regulation, such as the government has periodically introduced since the first ADR27a in ummm, 1976 I think. There were wailing and moanings then too - power outputs fell and fuel economy too, but it was very early days but soon things were cleaner and better and more powerful than ever.
As to all new cars ... - that's not exactly the case with Australia. If the manufacturers have moved entirley to Euro VI cars then sure, that's what we'll get - but if they have production lines they haven't upgraded yet, then they can still offload them here.

There’s one little fine print bit that seems to be missing from all the BS about better efficiency, cheaper fuel etc. In order to meet the new standards the petrol needs to be of a “higher quality” - which will certainly be more costly than current fuel. So any minuscule improvement in fuel efficiency will be more than offset by the higher per unit prices.

From memory when I looked it up last Australia gets 90-95% of its oil from south-east Asia and the last 5-10% from America, so basically forget the middle east if China makes a move to blockade south-east Asia there goes 90-95% of our oil supply.
Not right . We actually drill more oil than we use . We just send it elsewhere. So we can buy back at higher cost . Better for the world economy that way .
@@davidheath2427 without doing a whole lot of research, the first 3 results when Googling this question suggest that Australia produces approx one third of its requirements in crude oil.

Plants are growing better today than they have in many decades. The planet is greening and this is an established fact. The question is, what should we do about climate change? Taxing the crap out of us seems to not be a good response in my estimation.
We personally can't do anything apart from putting solar panels on the roofs. And batteries when the technology eventually becomes efficient...in like 15 years. The fact is that just 100 companies have contributed to 70% of greenhouse gasses emissions since 1988. Those are big powerful companies with huge political lobbies and will do everything to protect their profit. In other words it is easier to dump it all on us, the little people, than dealing with these giants. So we get to drive our little expensive electric cars making no impact on the climate whatsoever. It is all hypocrisy.

I'd be interested to hear your breakdown of the CSIRO's latest missive on the unviability of nuclear power generation as a power source for the nation John.
CSIRO appears to now be woke, like our ABC.
The report did not say nuclear power was unviable. So that’s a lie. The report said the nuclear power would cost twice as much as renewables on a levelised cost of energy. That is the total cost per TWh over the life time of the asset.
The report is wildly optimistic. It’s not double the cost. It’s about six times more expensive than renewables by the time the cost of borrowed money and inevitable cost over runs are taken in to account. Especially when the cost needs to be carried for ten years before any economic benefit is derived.
Inviable?
In ten years time you and a lot of other people are going to be begging for nuclear base load power. And you will be ten years too late
@autoexpert please follow up
If they haven't the balls to mandate nuclear for the East coast states how about half a dozen HELE coal fired power stations. High Efficiency Low Emissions coal powered power stations are a great way to go in a country with a 500 year coal supply. The Japanese have them and soon China.
Can't wait to see the price of electricity in the year 2050 . Or how much they tax it . Kiss your aircon good by . It will be way too expensive to run in your home . Or more likely your supply won't handle both charging the car and running the aircon at the same time .

One of the issues also not talked by the government is out dirty petrol (ULP with higher sulphur and aromatics than India and China, let alone advanced nations). John points out that the saving will be $6/wk for the fuel but that is if you can buy and use the same fuel as currently used. There wil be small/modest increase when Australia aligns to low sulphur and reduced aromatics ULP and premium ULP. However, many of the low emissions vehicle and fuel efficient European vehicles need as a minimum 95RON (premium ULP). I think the $6/wk will be lost in price difference between our low grade E10 and ULP and the premium ULP needed to achieve the fuel efficiency the engines can achieve in a lab and/or non real world driving test. How anyone thinks this new efficiency standard can be brought in before the correct fuel specification, cleaner fuel standard (which keeps being delayed because it is more expensive) is an insult to people who have functioning grey matter and not caught up in the political BS of either party.
Thank you so much for the truth
Seems a funny argument to me:
1. We export coal at almost as quick a rate as that which politicians bullshit, leading to ridiculous amounts of CO2
2. The government wants to "encourage" people to stop buying large utes, which apparently where not required 20 years ago in anything like the amount that are being bought now. This is really mainly about reducing CO2 rather than saving fuel. Also the "Ute tax" (really likely to be a cross subsidy to smaller cars/EVs) isn't likey to be super massive and will only modestly reduce the amount of utes being sold.
3. Since CAFE being enforced (at not that much cost to anyone) will only prevent a modest amount of CO2 emmisions we shouldn't do it. It's like saying policies which do a small amount of good shouldn't be done if theres a bigger problem somewhere else not being addressed.
Time to give up the Queen impersonation John and work on your King Charles . 😁😂
Can we assume that Chris and Albo are sticking their fingers in there ears when anyone mentions al these inconvenient facts?
The Bowen Bulge…!
This is so true. Australia is a carbon based economy. The government’s policies are the modern day equivalent of playing the fiddle while Rome burns. Given the only practical alternative to burning coal is nuclear, it is beyond me why we didn’t start building them a decade or more ago. Of course, it wouldn’t solve the issue of us exporting coal. But it would have been a lot more meaningful than all the measures governments have enacted over the last twenty years.
Yes, it would have been good if Morrison wasn't such a Bible bashing F...k Wit.We have NO LEADERS to TELL US "We are going Nuclear", starting when Abbott was in power.
It's always interesting that private jets and huge super yachts are often carbon tax exempt... And that the people who are most enthusiastic about you and I having our carbon footprint closely monitored, are usually those who use said private jets and yachts and don't want to talk about what their carbon emission numbers are and because they often operate across international borders they're not counted in the overall numbers of total emissions.
I'd imagine those people would spew many thousands times what each of us do and yet they are the ones who say we need our emissions controlled and regulated at the micro level, with taxes on taxes to discourage us from destroying the world. It's not like they're even shy about the fact they're not counting their private jets and yachts, they just believe they're entitled to it and you're not. Because they're obviously so much more important than you and I. Obviously.
Burning coal and measuring the subsequent CO2 output is like me getting into my ute and then measuring the weight of me and the ute as the result of me getting into the ute. The ute was already there, I didn't create the ute by getting into it. So measuring my weight as ute+me as the result of an action by me is similar to measuring the weight of oxygen in CO2 emissions from coal burning. The coal didn't contain (to any great degree) the oxygen - it (like the ute) was already there.
I'm sure that your weight has a huge impact on your ute's acceleration. Not to mention the extra wear and tear on the drivetrain.

With all that said, the Great Barrier Reef is doing better in all its recorded history, the Ozone layer hole appears to no longer be a world ending threat, and supposedly our greenery is thriving faster as a result of increased CO2, including in semi-desert regions because plants need smaller pores with which to breathe, meaning they sweat less, and hence can survive on lesser water uptake.

Or the attack by the automotive industry on perfectly legitimate (whatever guff Cadogen sputters about "freedom") regulations on emissions for new cars. In fact, by the immutable law of "don't trust corporations" we come to two not that startling conclusions:
1. if the automotive industry is lobbying against the new emission control rules, the rules must be more benficial to the customer than the corporations, and
2. petroleum companies have much more to gain out of casting doubt on climate change, than climate scientists have in promoting its reality.
I like clean air. Despite having old cars and bikes, I admit the perfectly obvious point that their exhaust is filthy in comparison to modern cars.

Be careful what you wish for. He is still a politician, and an equally shit one at that.
He’s less lefty wokey, that’s a big plus 👍🏼
Where are all these alternative car manufacturers lining up to bring in these more fuel efficient vehicles to replace the dreadfully inefficient utes?? And it must be obvious to everyone that there must be other vehicles out there using the same amount or more fuel than a ute.
This new standard will not stop people who choose to drive a dual cab vehicle for work or lifestyle reasons, as usual the end user will just be forced to pay more. Thanks John, great video 👍🇦🇺
Taxes, fees and levies then 10% gst on the total
One point nobody is talking about is this;
The public has to be “encouraged” to buy these new vehicles. That can only be done two ways; either lower the price of those efficient cars to a level way less than anything else on the road, or tax the hell out of the cars people want to own and “discouraging” their purchase like that.
There is technology to reduce pollution on cars trucks motorcycles and so on ,on diesel engines by 95 percent and on cars petrol by 50 percent ,the exhaust system unit cost $35 00 each ,this technology has been around for some years now, and has federal government accreditation in the U.S. for pollution control on these Engines to E.U.R.O. 6 stranded witch would go a long way to reduce pollution in Australia.
I miss the good old days before humans existed and the climate was stable for billions of years!
Lol 😂😂😂
Not worth pumping your battery power back into the grid at night due to wear and tear on the battery and the present inadequate amount of payment in return for your power. It is shit money. The rip off is you end up supplying power to your neighbors for next to nothing while the energy provider charges them an arm and a leg for the same power. 7 cents they give you 30 cents plus they charge us and them. The math only works in the energy company's favor. Don't put it back into the grid until they start paying for it properly. You will end up paying for a new battery ahead of time while they just freeload. Solar panels through the day are ok to feed back in as it's best to put it somewhere after you have used what you need. But don't cycle your battery unnecessarily.
I love FACTS! Great video 👍🏻
Maybe Politicians should hold their breath that will lower our CO2 emissions
Car carbon tax
BRAVO! If only the litany of levels of "governance" would pay attention to wiser minds. . . . . .
Govs talk talk talk..WHY...
We export that amount of coal, yet Aussies are missing meals to keep the power on.
In the UK legislation has been passed to introduce driverless cars. Once this succeeds, governments will ban all private car transport anyhow and we will all be forced in shared driverless cars after having filled out a form to justify why we need to 'privately' travel. This is where we are heading in the name of saving CO2. In other words, emission of CO2 will ceased to be optional and heavy fines or jail-terms might be in order for anyone who dares to break these rules.
This is where we are heading down the track in my view. All the Labor government has to do is to unilaterally proclaim that, in the name of the impending climate emergency to rule by decree, temporarily sidelining or democratic rule, establish a police state, dispense with the rule of law, replace all this with a punitive social monitoring system for draconian control of the masses.
The public private partnership will need to know everything you do and say, so everyone is equitable, stuff the authoritarians.
We voted Labor to get rid of the last jab wako, its no mandate
Covid was just the dry run test on what they can get away with. Victoria passed with flying colours
That's what the libs want to do.
Some how I think there will be riots before then. Its not going to happen, they already knows it won't work. A) because the world is set up for everyone to need personal transport. B) they need the tax money. C) they are already talking of moving end of petrol and diesel to 2040.
Meanwhile China has half of the entire world's coal fired power stations, builds more coal fired power stations every year and there is zero interest from the rest of the world in curbing Chinas coal fired grid or CO2 emissions. China will happily make all of your green solar and wind infrastructure and pump vast amounts of CO2 doing it. Too many people in power are beneficiaries of China being the worlds polluting toxic slave labour hell hole.
