The Morrison government\u2019s $400,000 allocation for a national electric vehicle strategy in the Budget is an absolute joke, especially when they have allocated 25 times as much in luxury car rebates, say the Australian Greens.
\n\u201cThe staggeringly low $400,000 to roll out a national electric vehicle strategy is an absolute joke,\u201d said Senator Janet Rice, Australian Greens transport spokesperson.
\n\u201cWith this woeful amount of money towards electric vehicles, the Morrison government is leaving Australia stalled on the sidelines of the electric vehicle revolution while the rest of the world zips us by.\u201d
\n\u201cThe Budget even has $11 million earmarked for a luxury car rebate for tourist operators and primary producers. This is 25 times more funding for people to buy luxury cars than for a national electric vehicle strategy.\u201d
\n\u201cThis is a government with absolutely no plan, no vision and no desire to get Australia on track to enjoy the many benefits that electric vehicles will bring.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
