25.01.2022 Given millions of motorists pay for our roads through fuel excise bringing electric vehicles and ultra-low fuel consumption vehicles into the tax system makes sense. And Australia would not be the first to do so.

24.01.2022 We think the voluntary CO2 emission standard announced by Australias auto industry should be legislated, with compliance mechanisms in place.
