In the lead up to the 2019 election, Scott Morrison said Labor's target of 50 per cent of all new vehicles being electric by 2030 would"end the weekend". Now he's backing them with the new $250 million"future fuels" fund.Electric vehicles once derided by Scott Morrison as "ending the weekend" will be the focus of a new million strategy projected to create more than 2,600 jobs.
More than 50,000 households and 400 businesses would have access to charging infrastructure, alongside at least 1,000 public charging stations. "We will not be forcing Australians out of the car they want to drive or penalising those who can least afford it through bans or taxes.
What’s the catch?
Morrison more positional changes than the Karma Sutra.
Morrison constantly steals labor ideas and delivers nothing. It’s just another thought bubble which shows he is a complete vacuum when it comes to original thought
Conservatives add little value to society. Just another example when their outdated values are overridden often too late.
Where are you getting the electricity from? There are National WARNINGS each summer regarding simple air-conditioner usage. Stop being a 3rd world... stop rirting the Australian public... where is the money?
SBS Not true he said their plan would or lack of a plan would.
range, charging point, price and cost of electricity amongst the barriers of take up
Don’t be fooled , most of that is going to LNP donors or there is no money at all. Where are we getting all this money ? Nothing has gotten any better since Abbott stalled the economy with his “budget emergency “ scare mongering, if anything it’s gotten worse .
Now don't get too carried away. Don't even take the simplistic approach of the Morrison Government. The next big challenge is how not to export used fossils fuel cars , for quick bucks, to poor countries.Effectively in the end it bears no impact on CO2 emissions globally
Jasonsmumr Does that mean ScottMorrisonMP was lying when he said EV's will ruin your weekend?

$250million is peanuts, considering he's handing the fossil fuel industry $20billion to spew methane into the aor 24/7.
rickardo_viti If only Labor had won: this infrastructure, along with the jobs, would be a lot closer to completion. I'd be just about ready to pull the trigger on my first EV purchase. But alas, Aussies voted for 🤡 ScoMo the clown, so EV's are over priced and there are not enough chargers.
Standard Morrison playbook. Pick $ figure that sounds impressive (but media won’t think hmmm thats not even $10 per person) + Ensure funds are given to business not individuals + Ignore all advice as to what is really required = Australia falls behind rest of world. notmypm

He lies , he twists, he denies , he has done this so many times he has forgotten what he has derided - now it’s his new announcement - a fool may believe a fool I guess - Australia’s shame Murdock/ Sky propaganda
Anyone who believed Morrison’s statement pre 2019 election re EVs as a dill.
It is shocking how much Scomo resembles Trump these days. And to make it 100% clear. This in NOT a good thing.
So he was wrong. Many times he has got it wrong.
So his plan is EVs run on coal fired electricity… nothing here but another announcement
Lib or Lab it’s all politics and not substance. They are simply puppets to the powerful faceless, cartels, oligarchs and Union super. They do not represent Australians or our sovereignty. Let’s move forward sensibly vote sensiblecentre_
Isn’t the $250million the ransom money the nats asked for
Slomo won't use one of the EV's. His nose doesn't fit in.
The party of do-nothing liars and spinners have ditched the last election slogan of “ending the weekend” for “technology not taxes”.
EV is good marketing but does nothing for the environment
There is an election coming and Scomo and co will say anything, do anything to try to win it. And then they won't! Believe them at your own peril

. Morrison will say anything, do anything, or do nothing (climate), to stay in power. He has nearly conditioned the public to accept that a PM will lie, and to not expect the recourse of apologies or standing down of yesteryear. ScottyThePathologicalLiar
Hey Big Guy are you going to be the one to tell the states not place extra TAX on these EVs? Nah! Probably not!
Election coming up ,another promise
So Labors policies were correct all along and we've just wasted 3, 6, 10 years. Cool.
Scomo leading the way. Scomo landslide 2022 🙂
Yes, Hypocrisy Poor economic management

Tell the Truth same bloke that said won’t tow your boat, won’t tow your trailer, won’t tow your caravan ScottMorrisonMP Can’t Trust him ScottyLies ScottytheLiar CantTrustHim auspol
What an oaf this con artist used car salesman is. In a climate emergency with another La Nina due next year, he's still pouring truckloads of our money into fossil fuels - more than $12billion :
The rich countries of the world need to create a UN-administered fund to buy-up & permanently lock-up the world's fossil-fuel reserves, thereby driving-up prices, and making alternative technologies economically viable.
A vote for Morrison is a vote of inaction
Aaah excellent, another faux announcement from LiarFromTheShire AlboForPM
