Social media firms criticise ‘irrational’ exemption of YouTube from Australia’s under-16s ban

It’s understandable that the Coalition is reconsidering the rules around electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrids, especially in light of the ongoing challenges surrounding affordability and accessibility for Australian consumers. While promoting greener technologies is crucial for environmental sustainability, it’s equally important to ensure that these options are within financial reach for the average person.
Lowering costs for EVs and hybrids can significantly accelerate their adoption and make a tangible impact on reducing emissions. However, the balance between driving innovation and keeping vehicles affordable is delicate. It would be beneficial for policymakers to engage with both the automotive industry and consumer groups to find a solution that encourages manufacturers to innovate without pricing out potential buyers.
Moreover, any revision of the rules should also consider the long-term benefits of a sustainable transport system, which includes not just the cost of vehicles, but also factors like infrastructure, maintenance, and energy sources. It will be interesting to see how the Coalition approaches this issue and whether it can create an environment that supports both economic and environmental goals.
