PENNY SIMMONDS (National—Invercargill): Thank you, Mr Speaker. This is a tax. This is a redistribution of funding from middle and lower income New Zealand to wealthier New Zealand. This is those who can't afford an $80,000 electric vehicle (EV), and it's taking money from them to assist the wealthy to buy their expensive EV. This will hurt middle New Zealanders, it will hurt families, and it will particularly hurt rural people, who have to have cars to get around. They do not have the option of public transport. The geography of Southland is the same size as the country of Switzerland. You cannot get around Southland easily in an EV. People in Southland have to take their children to their sports practices, to their sports games, to their music after school. They have to be able to take their family around in a reliable car that they know can get them there and back, and this is going to cost them extra. This is happening at the time when cost of living is increasing, so the middle New Zealand family is going to be paying more for their housing, whether it's more for their mortgage repayments—higher interest—or more for their rent. They're going to be paying more for their food, they're going to be paying more for their petrol, and they're going to be paying more for a vehicle to get them safely around.
