As always, this was just Scott Morrison pretending to be something that he isn't. People who know cars know that the instant torque offered by electric vehicles offers plenty of opportunity for excitement on the weekend. He's just a fake, fake, fake. theconversation.com/heres-why-elec…
Worse than this, were are a selection of the ads he ran on Facebook scaremongering about EVs during the last election.
They are all straight up lies. There was no proposed ‘car tax’.
It’s was made up by a marketing man who treats the Australian public with contempt.
Maybe if the Abbott-Turnbull-Morrison govt hadn’t destroyed the car industry in Australia - costing 2500 of my constituents their job - Scott Morrison would have known that Toyota will offer an electrified version of all its models by 2025 - including the Hilux in his lying ads.

Today Scott Morrison is visiting Victoria for the first time in 173 days.
Extraordinarily he’s chosen to come to Toyota Altona in my electorate for a media event to do a backflip on his scaremongering about electric vehicles being the ‘end of the weekend’ in Australia.
It's the same Toyota Altona site where the policies of the Abbott-Turnbull-Morrison Govt cost 2500 jobs.
It’s just across the road from the Altona refinery where over 300 jobs were lost this year.
It’s just up the road from the Willy Shipyards, where 1500 jobs were lost.
Scott Morrison abandoned Victoria during the pandemic. But the policies of the Abbott-Turnbull-Morrison government have left us abandoned for 8 long years years.
This government has done nothing to fight for secure jobs in our community. We’ve seen the consequences first hand.
After 8 long years of Coalition government has decimated their front bench, this is what we are left with - Stuart Robert as the Minister with responsibility or cyber security.

What is going on inside the Morrison Government on cyber security policy? The short answer is after eight years it’s a complete mess. The long answer is too long for a tweet, but I spoke on it in Parliament this week 👇🧵 parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/genpd…
The Morrison Govt has been so engulfed by its own sleaze and scandals it’s been distracted from this important national security issue in the face of the Hafnium and SolarWinds campaigns.
When the Exchange vulnerability became public:
-The Defence Min. was on leave
-The Acting Defence Min., also the Min. for Women, was in hiding from the media.
-The Asst Defence Min. still hadn't received his charter letter 3 months after his appointment. theaustralian.com.au/nation/politic…
An impressive effort from Sussan Ley in her #qt Dorothy Dixer just then, telling the Parliament that the Morrison Govt would ‘soon’ be introducing an Online Safety Bill.
That would be the Bill that was debated and passed through the House of Representatives last Sitting Week.
It shows really commitment to the Morrison Government’s “always be announcing” ethos.
Continuing to do forward sizzle announcements for things that have already occurred really is impressive.
The Online Safety Bill that Sussan Ley promised would soon be introduced is currently in the Senate awaiting further amendments from the govt and a second reading debate there.
