The current crop of transport can mostly be retro fitted and all new vehicles can be powered by suitable gas compliant engines If the environmentalists were honest in their claims they would have been demanding LPG powered vehicles as a compulsory move to improve the environment It has the other advantage that we would have a guaranteed fuel supply without imports It could be cheaper if we used Australian prices rather than Singapore pricing All the infrastructure is basically in place SO why has the government been telling lies when on one hand they claim to be protecting the environment when on the other they are dissuading people from using a viable alternative that's already in our own back yard

A couple of things KP. What are the " benefits that don't exist " ? LPG is not pollution free so why would you bother with that when you can simply bypass it and go to zero pollution for a ev powered by renewables ? Guaranteed fuel supply ? I reckon we've got enough wind and solar to do the job. Don't have to mine for it, don't have to transport it and it will last forever. Much better than LPG. Imagine . Australia's total transport fleet powered by Australian renewables. Now that's independance.
