. Ben Cubby has identified another cabal pressing to maintain Australia’s unsustainable carbon emissions. As the government begins to tackle the existential climate crisis, the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries is plotting, through lobbying and public relations, to manipulate government policy and public opinion to serve its own commercial convenience.
The tax has slowed the uptake of electric cars in Victoria, which is lagging well behind New South Wales, and has been condemned as the worst EV policy in the world by multiple organisations . It is a policy that fulfils the campaign agenda of the chamber, which may well be the EV policymaker in Victoria.Well, of course the car industry lobby would prefer Australia to keep importing cars with weak emission controls.
Groups of young men hurled foul-mouthed abuse at players and as the game became tighter, the aggression and beer consumption increased. At certain points, patrons attempted to curtail some of the worst elements and shield children from it. There was no security in the area and whilst there was no physical violence, it was simmering.
Surely councils should be looking at how they can create new, open, green spaces rather than diminishing the small amount we already have.
