Although pleased with the change in tune, Shadow Minister for Education Tanya Plibersek says Scott Morrison must do more to incentivise ordinary Australians to purchase electric vehicles. The Future Fuels Strategy, announced on Tuesday, is a key cog in the federal government’s bid to achieve net zero by 2050 with the prime minister hopeful up to 1.7 million low emission cars will hit the road by 2030. “The only person that’s really changed their tune on electric vehicles is Scott Morrison, who said they were going to ruin the weekend because they couldn’t tow your boat or your caravan,” she told Sky News Australia. “I’m pleased to see that he’s finally recognising the Australians should have, deserve to have a choice to buy cheaper, cleaner electric vehicles. It’s disappointing that yesterday’s policy doesn’t actually make electric vehicles cheaper for ordinary Australian families.” In contrast, Ms Plibersek vowed the Opposition would “take thousands off the cost” of cleaner electric vehicles if elected. “Our policy was always about giving consumers choice, making cars, electric vehicles, cheaper for Australian families and that’s our intention today, it was our intention before the last election,” she added. “Labor’s policy will take thousands off the cost of a new electric vehicle.”
