My question is to the Minister for Climate Change and Energy. The minister hailed Labor's new family car and ute tax as bringing Australia into line with vehicle standards in the United States by 2028. Now the Biden administration has abandoned its initial policy amid fears that billions of dollars in new fines on auto makers would increase the price of new cars for families. Why are Australian families facing higher prices and fewer choices because of this government's failed energy policies?
