"Driving with one foot on the accelerator and the other foot on the brake isn’t
recommended.

Accelerating action to mitigate climate risk at the same time as taxing those
who are doing the heavy lifting on electrifying transport is similarly foolish.

The proposed Road User Tax is a political dog-whistle that will have the fossil
fuel industry laughing all the way to the bank.

Here are 10 reasons why the proposed Road User Tax is bad policy."
