But David Littleproud wants you to know that the Nationals will be honest with you at the next election:
We’ll be honest with the Australian people and look them square in the eyes and tell the truth. That’s what they want out of Government, not just someone who signs up to it blindly but has no plan to get there.
And if that’s what the public want from the Labor Party who are able to do this without any scrutiny, you’ll see a detailed plan in the next 24-48 hours from us.
Definitely.
I have no issue. So long as people have vehicles. The reality is that the market will decide that. You’re seeing cars move towards hybrids and many other changes in technology. So I’m agnostic to that. The reality is that I need them to work, but in my parts of the world where I have an electorate three times the size of Victoria, I just need to be able to plug them in somewhere.
But the reality is that in some areas, it will be acceptable for those areas to have. So I’m not against that. But if that’s all the Labor Party has, the detail of their plan will surely cost you a lot more than a few electric vehicles is the point I’m making.
That is important and we also met Kyoto. But we don’t shift the goalposts during a game of football. You keep them where they are. And the fact that we’re going to overshoot that says a lot about Australia and says a lot about what we’ve done in the last decade to achieve that.
