Second Reading Speech, Treasury Laws Amendment (Electric Car Discount) Bill 2022

27 July 2022

I'm really excited to be introducing this bill today, and particularly to follow the Minister for Climate Change, having just presented some of the broader climate change bills to the Parliament.

The introduction today of those bills by the Minister, as well this Electric Car Discount Bill today, sends an unmistakable signal to this Parliament, to Australian industry and to the Australian people and beyond, that Australia now has a government which understands the economics of cleaner and cheaper and more reliable energy, and recognises the generational imperative that we have to act on climate change.

As I have said many times, I have a mountain of respect for Governor Lowe – and for the professional, hard‑working people of the RBA.

Australians deserve a monetary policy framework that is fit for purpose into the future.

That’s what the review is all about.

Thanks Martin [Parkinson] for that kind introduction and for the opportunity to acknowledge country and the elders, customs and traditions of the Ngunnawal and Ngambri people as we meet today. 

I’ve known Martin well enough and for long enough to be confident you’re as committed as I am – as committed as the new Government is – to the implementation of the Uluru Statement from the Heart.
