Thread: Stupid Bullshite politicians espouse before an Election.

Nanny knows best.

Maybe that's a brilliant opportunity for some Aussie politician to get the agency for all those electric cars the Chinkies will be making (from stolen Western designs, obviously).

Australia is coming up for an election soon and the Party, most likely to be in control is looking at
mandating this ...

50% of new cars to be electric vehicles by 2030 under Labor climate change policy

https://www.theguardian.com/australi...-change-policy

So, just what percentage of cars on Australian roads are EV's (Electric vehicles)?

20%?

10%?

Surely there must be at least 5%

Nope

2% ... getting warmer.

1% ... almost there

Actually 0.2% of the cars on Australian roads are EV's.

Yet the incoming government want to mandate that to 50% in 10 years.

What is the cheapest EV available today in Australia?



Now, consider that the Toyota Corolla Ascent is $24,370 ... a little more then 1/2 the price of the cheapest EV available.

More BS for the Pollies that 1/2 of Australia will be driving EV's within 10 years.

Me? I have a Family car that runs on LPG.

Solar roof panels and haven't had an electric bill for more then 4 years, we have a vege patch ... I'm saving the planet.

Fuck these grandstanding Pollies who spout out BS come election time

Shoulda thought of that before electing them; could have elected the other fools instead!

You mean actually make something? Why do that? Look how many of todays successful countries started out by exporting services. Hold on... I'll think of one in a minute.
