we'll have to see how the bill presents. what I just read
ABC LNIK. is a bit light on the impact of hybrids.
it actually looks like a pretty good idea. manufacturers can be given carbon credits for being under (the average emissions from "a fleet" of cars delivered to Aus) specific levels which scale down each year. manufacturers can fit necessary emissions control tech to ICE cars to get under the emissions or they can pay a fine or buy carbon credits.
given the tech is widely available and is used in every other country exc. Russia and Aus, the cost to comply is pretty small so there shouldn't be much increase in cost - at first.
we used to have pretty strong emissions regulations pre-Abbott.
