My question is to the Minister for Climate Change and Energy. I refer to Labor's new family car and ute tax. In my home state in Victoria in 2023 78 per cent of sales were either SUVs or light commercial vehicles and utes. The top-selling cars were the Ford Ranger, Toyota Hilux and Isuzu Ute D-Max. Industry analysis shows that they would attract penalties of up to $17,000, $14000 and $13,000 respectively by 2029. Why does this Labor government want to punish Aussie families and tradies for their choices?
