Common Sense Prevailed
Yea gods! The Australian parliament has actually agreed on some sensible changes to the new luxury car tax. They exempted fuel efficient cars and also for famers and tourism operators who genuinely need the large 4 wheel drive vehicles to run their business.
It is a sad thought that the majority, if not all, the fuel efficient cars come in over the “luxury” car threshold. No wonder so few of us drive them!
I am quite comfortable that those huge 4 wheel drives will be taxed higher for non commercial use so maybe there is an incentive for the urban cowgirls on the school run in our affluent suburbs, to start to drive something more fuel efficient and less view blocking. I find them totally view blocking when I am looking to see if it is safe to enter a road, or turn. It is like being next to a truck!
I particularly wonder about bull-bars in the city. I don’t actually see a lot of wild bulls wandering our streets. The bars really damage pedestrians and in a city where there are few pedestrian crossings, jaywalking in Adelaide is the norm and pedestrian safety is vital.
