Yep that's what Shortens genius plan will entail.

Another article in todays West with the headline " Tradies to Get Nasty Electric Shock"

Basically outlines Shortens plan will mean Tradies updating to a new Hilux etc in the future means it will cost them an additonal $5k in tax.

All this due to climate change launacy when nothing Australia can do will make any meaningful contribution yet many seem to be prepared to accept this dumbarse policy and pay threw the nose for zero results. Countries would be laughing at our stupidity.
