The “ALP Powering Australia” plan released on Friday last, supporting the uptake of electric vehicles in Australia, and has been acknowledged as a step forward in the policy discussion around lowering vehicle emissions, according to Australia’s peak automotive body, the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI).
The Minister for Employment, Workforce, Skills, Small and Family Business, Stuart Robert, today released a discussion paper that considers further reforms to the Franchising Code of Conduct introduced on 1 July this year. The minister has a poor record in the area of caring for consumers, and is the man responsible for the hideous RoboDebt debacle. The programme targeted the vulnerable, and was responsible for over 2,000 suicides.
The Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI) has condemned the move by the Hon Karen Andrews MP, Minister for Industry, Science and Technology, to ‘fast-track’ changes to new vehicle franchising agreements.
