Hardly even a tank of fuel in my Disco

A Tax is a Tax of course.

My last RUC was about $100 , which negated the $100 "green incentive" discount on my Rego

Excuse the formatting. It did not show until posted.

I really do not mind the RUC as I appreciate road cost money to maintain. Not much Green Incentive here. A lot of Green washing given we are still have the worst C02 emissions per capita in the entire world. No problem with USER pays. A tax on Emission from all C02 Emission being considered at COP27 may wake up a few to the millions of dead people every year due directly to air pollution

Sorry My bad- COP27 is about climate change and a bit or a lot of Hydrogen

A bit more than TWO tanks of fuel in my Disco I did not pay for

Dumbest tax ever - I don't even own an EV and this makes me mad...

I hope you also realise that Australia has the highest level of CO2 absorption in the World and we are a nettCO2 sink.

In other words Australia does not emit any nett CO2 .
We are the solution not the problem.

If you ignore coal exports!

Can you point me to were that comes from?
I would like to see the numbers behind the claim.

I suspect this is the start as NSW is not the only Government which at least partly funded Tesla charging places.

Tesla supercharger sites in some parts of Australia to allow non-Tesla EVs to charge there too.

Non-Tesla EVs to get access to government funded Tesla Supercharger sites

Asking for a break down of every grant or government funding in Victoria. Strongly suspect a little taxpayer funding for several sites which non tesla cannot use at present as well.


It feels a little like being in the Officers Ward Room on HMAS Adelaide - Very cheeky for a former Lower deck type like me

Here is one article . Sorry we are not the best only second best after Argentina.
There is a World map reproduced above and elsewhere from I believe either NASA or NOAA that says the same.
