WARMING WELFARE FOR THE WEALTHY
Millionaire Olympian, lawyer and $207,100 per year climate change MP Zali Steggall is still waiting for the government to buy her an electric car.
Millionaire Olympian, lawyer and $207,100 per year climate change MP Zali Steggall is still waiting for the government to buy her an electric car:
Independent MP Zali Steggall says she has not yet fulfilled her promise of changing to an electric vehicle, and says she would “appreciate” if the government made EVs cheaper …
“I like every other Australian have budget pressures, mortgage pressures,” she told Sky News.
I’m pretty sure Zali’s budget pressures are a little different to budget pressures elsewhere.
“I would really welcome the government taking some steps to make EVs more affordable so I could accelerate the process in which I could transfer my car.
“I am committed to when it comes time to changing my vehicle, that I will change it to an EV.”
So the planet must be rescued, but only if Zali scores a government subsidy and a really good trade-in deal on her Nissan Pathfinder. Meanwhile:
Ms Steggall will join with former Liberal leader John Hewson, the Greens and other House crossbenchers on Wednesday to push a “climate emergency” motion.
She's joining with Hewson? As usual with Steggall, it's all downhill from here.
