Hon MICHAEL WOOD (Minister of Transport): It's been a very good week for the Government's clean car package and I've seen updates informing me that it passed its committee stage reading in the House yesterday, and the third reading is expected to pass through the House this afternoon. The bill will increase the supply and variety of zero- and low-emission vehicles available for purchase in New Zealand by applying the clean vehicle standard to importers of new and used light vehicles. It will also increase the demand for zero- and low - carbon dioxide emissions vehicles by providing for the full Clean Car Discount scheme, designed to incentivise through rebates and charges the purchase of zero and low emission vehicles. Our Government has moved to prevent New Zealand from becoming a dumping ground for the world's dirtiest vehicles by cleaning up our fleet and providing Kiwi consumers with more fuel-efficient vehicles at a lower price, and that's good for our climate, too.
