Another day, another round of vindictive and regressive policy from this government.

registrations going up
fuel tax going up
public and active transport slashed by $1bn
15 new, uncosted roads announced

Remember when these guys campaigned on the cost of living?

I know many tradies mate, they all use vans except one, and he complains constantly about his Ute.

I also make deliveries, would never use a Ute. Van is the way to go.

Besides, none of this addresses the point. None of the ones I'm talking about are not trade/family vehicles. I see mum's dropping kids off, bank people and REAs driving to a showing all the time. None of these need a massive fucking Ute that never carries anything or goes off-road.
