It wouldn’t though. Inner city people already use public transport or walk/bike for the most part. Not everyone that works in the city lives in the city though, and Australia is too big for any public transport solution to work efficiently or cost effectively.
The point is that there are no alternatives to cars for a large, large percentage of the population. In the inner city people already don’t really use cars to just drive around in the city. Public transport in the inner city isn’t an issue - it’s getting in to and out of the city where it is.
Bingo - and even for people who pay cash who previously wouldn’t have to pay a surcharge.
And the government knows prices will go up, and they’re happy cause they make more money in tax.
I’d love to hear how I’m wrong about Iran. Please enlighten me.

Funny, 5 days later and you haven’t blocked me?
Whoosh.
EVs, batteries, solar panels, and wind turbines are all made with fossil fuels.
I don’t hate renewable energy and EVs actually. I love solar power, and any cars I buy as daily drivers in the future will be EVs. I’ve got 42kWh of home batteries with solar panels feeding them, racking up credit every month instead of a power bill.
What I am against is the “renewables” industry push as it is. It’s not a path to zero carbon. All it’s doing is passing our carbon creation to China, and lining their pockets while they spit it out into the atmosphere and make us more and more reliant on them.
Batteries and their materials are not renewable.
Solar panels are not made from renewable materials, nor are they economically feasible to even recycle - it is cheaper to chuck them in landfill and buy a new one than to recycle or repair an old/broken one.
The only way to actual carbon neutral is nuclear, but the “renewable” zealots don’t want it because they listen to people making billions off government subsidies for “renewables”.
🤣 you really used articles using search engine rankings to try and discredit AI 🤦
Nothing you posted there is proof that people don’t want or use AI. AI is in use almost everywhere now.
If that was a widely known slogan made by people that will gladly tell you that they want to wipe out the county of Kent, yes.
It literally means for Israel to cease to exist.
You’re not really going to argue that ending a world war was a bad thing, are you?
We don’t want more countries having nukes, especially countries that produce the most terrorist attacks and that literally tell us that they want to destroy the western world.
Sure, but any merchant fee will just be added on to the price of products now, so everything will be priced higher.
I downvote comments that are making bad arguments and comparisons, doesn’t matter what it is. The Netherlands is not comparable to Australia. At all. Using them as an example makes no sense
