Perhaps the question is, why shouldn't Australians be able to buy cars that save them money? What about having some choice? I'm always interested by the fact that the coalition love markets when it suits them. They don't want to regulate wages, but they are quite happy to push back on choice where they have an ideological bent against a particular market regulation. This is about choice. This is about giving Australians the opportunity to buy cars that save them money. We are behind so much of the developed world on this. We've gone through a proper consultation process. I'm sure the ministers will consider all of the consultation carefully as well as looking at the international regulators.
