National's Ute Tax w/ Timothy Welch: October 17, 2023

Part of Nationals 100 day plan is to scrap the clean car rebate scheme. They’ve been calling it a “ute tax” and a kick in the guts for kiwi farmers and tradies. 

Yet Utes are becoming increasingly popular for city-goers, where 2 thirds of trips in utes are non-work related.

Josh Black talked to Timothy Welch from the University of Auckland, to discuss why it's such a priority for National, and what comes from removing it.
