Hon DAVID BENNETT (National): Yesterday, the Government introduced the Land Transport (Clean Vehicles) Amendment Bill which, effectively, is a tax on middle New Zealand, it is a tax break for the wealthy in New Zealand, and it is an attack on the most vulnerable New Zealanders. That is the net impact of a bill which gives a discount to somebody that is paying for an electric vehicle (EV). It charges somebody that is buying any other type of vehicle, and it really does create a distortion in the New Zealand vehicle market that will lead to only one major consequence, and that is the retention by vulnerable, ordinary New Zealanders of high-emission vehicles that are unsafe and will actually hurt our environmental prospects as a country.
