The two biggest selling cars in Australia are utes.

And if you think they’re all being used for work then you probably believe in a few weeks Santa Claus is going to deliver some presents your way.
A tax system that incentivises people buying big utes for "work" is terrible for the environment.

Emissions from passenger cars have fallen since 2005.

But that has been more than cancelled out by the increase in emissions from utes and other light commercial vehicles.

The Coalition has suggested watering down banking regulations to lower barriers for first homebuyers seeking home loans.

"It's giving people more ability to borrow more money, which means they're going to bid more for more houses & that just juices up demand." #auspol @grogsgamut.bsky.social
