A Green MP is calling on the federal government to impose a windfall profits tax on fossil fuel companies, citing increasing unaffordability and the ongoing climate crisis.
Here’s the weird thing: if they raise prices and we savagely tax all profits above a certain amount, it ultimately benefits EV people to a massive extent.
Even as a petrol car family, I’m hugely in favour of that plan.
We had a great public transit system when most people lived rurally, but that age is behind us. Most people live in urban areas now. Urban areas don’t need transit. You can walk everywhere. That’s the whole reason cities were created.
Sure, but you know they’ll just raise the prices we pay to make up for it.

EVs are a stop gap measure. We need better public transit infrastructure and better railways.
