My question is for the Minister for Climate Change and Energy. I refer to Labor's new family car and ute tax. In my home seat of WA in 2023, 79.8 per cent of sales were either SUVs or light commercial vehicles and utes. Top-selling cars are the Toyota Hilux, Ford Ranger and Isuzu D-MAX. Industry analysis shows that they would attract penalties of around $14,000, $17,000 and $13,000 respectively. Why does this Labor government want to punish Aussie families and tradies for their choices?
