The Australian Federal Government is facing opposition from both the Coalition and the car industry regarding its proposed new vehicle efficiency standards. The Coalition has criticized the policy as a 'tax on the family car' ahead of the Dunkley by-election, claiming it will increase prices and limit consumer choice. Meanwhile, car manufacturers argue that the new standards will lead to billions of dollars in fines, which they fear will be passed on to consumers. However, the Labor party disputes these claims.
