Chris Kenny calls out government's ‘embarrassing backflip’ on fuel efficiency standards

Sky News host Chris Kenny says the Albanese government is turning out “just as many of us feared” following its many backflips and failures. “It was like the Olympic gymnastics had started a few months early today – the Albanese Labor to government has been twisting and turning and backflipping away, but it's hardly stuck a landing,” Mr Kenny said. “First up, let's look at the ridiculous attack on the driving choices of Australia's motorists. “For months, Climate and Energy Minister Chris Bowen has been arguing that increasing the cost of petrol and diesel utes and the like to try to force us into EVs and hybrids was all about saving the planet, and get this, giving us more choice, and even about saving us money." Mr Kenny said after pushing this “nonsense” for months and after attacking all of their critics, the Labor government has backflipped. “It's going to slow down the emissions standards regime; it’s going to go easier on utes and SUVs.”
