The Luxon government has come up with a brilliant idea. They intend to make NZ a dumping ground for dirty vehicles. They'll reduce the Clean Car Standard by 80%, because NZ doesn't have enough air pollution, apparently. This RNZ story gives an example.
"For a big diesel SUV, like the Ford Everest, importers could save almost $7000 per car."
As far as I can determine, the only "winners" will be car importers. The rest of us will have to put up with more high-emission vehicles on our roads and the toxic fumes they emit.
You can almost imagine National passing around bottles of petrol at cabinet meetings so they can all have a little sniff.
National - shitting on the environment is what we do best.
