‘Canberra clown show’: Sky News host slams Labor's push for electric ‘clown cars’

Sky News host Rowan Dean has slammed Labor's push for electric vehicles. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Energy Minister Chris Bowen, alongside Team Global Expressed, announced a third of their truck fleet will be electric vehicles. “Not a great day in my opinion, for people who want their parcels delivered, not in clown cars, but with the efficiency and reliability traditionally provided by the good old fashioned petrol engine,” Mr Dean said. The Sky News host said some of the electric trucks only go about “100k before needing to be recharged for about 90 minutes”. “Even less if it’s a hot or cold day and the heating or the air conditioning is on,” he said. “We the taxpayers have certainly assisted your performance by giving … over $20 million of taxpayers to assist the purchase of these clown cars.”
