Tax breaks for huge, American-style utes cost Australians over $250 million in foregone revenue in 2023, according to a new report from the Australia Institute.
Yeah my cousin had a new big truck for work and I thought it was an F150 or whatever, but it’s some Chinese car, which is still like 25% smaller than an F150.
Most of these cars simply should not be legal. It would make sense if they could carry more than old utes but they carry less, and do it less efficiently. It’s like the fossil fuel industry is manufacturing cars to consume more fuel. There needs to be a carbon tax and similar to prevent this type of obscene waste.
