Is the new Government committed to tackling climate change?
About this episode
The Government’s flicking the off switch on EV owners.
From today, road user charges will have to be paid for light electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids.
Bringing EVs in line with other vehicles has been a priority for this government, but little else in the plans so far have suggested what their strategy is for the environment and climate change.
Today on The Front Page, Newstalk ZB political and climate reporter Demelza Jackson joins to discuss if this government is making the right moves for the planet’s future.
