My question is to the Minister for Climate Change and Energy. Yesterday the minister claimed there would be no purchase price impact, despite the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries estimate that Labor's new family car and ute tax could cost $38 billion in penalties over five years, based on 2023 sales, and these would be paid for by Australians. Why is the minister refusing to be upfront with the Australian people about the impact of this new tax?
