Anthony Albanese’s big plan to stop you driving a petrol or diesel-only car – here’s what Labor’s climate policies mean for you
- Anthony Albanese has pledged to ‘end the climate wars’ now he’s Prime Minister
- He believes his electric car tax breaks will see 89% of new cars electric in 2030
- Labor will also tighten emissions rules for the 215 biggest emitters in the nation
- And it will bring forward grid transmission projects to boost renewable energy
Anthony Albanese will introduce policies to boost the take-up of electric vehicles but will stop short of imposing a ban on petrol or diesel cars as part of his plan to tackle climate change.
The Labor Party will introduce tax benefits to reduce the price of electric cars – and plug-in hybrids – and is forecasting that 89 per cent of new car sales will be electric by 2030.
