Senator McKENZIE (Victoria—Leader of the Nationals in the Senate) (14:49): My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Climate Change and Energy, Senator Gallagher. The auto industry released modelling to show Labor's family car tax on SUVs, four-wheel drives and utes could impose penalties of up to $25,000 on the cost of a new car. For example, the RAV4 would be slugged up to $11,000 under Labor's car tax, and the Ford Ranger ute by nearly $18,000. During the middle of a cost-of-living crisis and high inflation, why is the government trying to force Australians who want or need an SUV or a four-wheel drive to pay more when buying their next family car?
