oh, you thought the clean car discount scheme was a "ute tax"? time for an actual ute tax

Researchers call for ute tax, citing burden on health system
They say utes contribute about seven times as much social harm in areas like air pollution, and accidents involving utes are seven times more likely to be fatal.

take the air conditioning, suspension and airbags out of all utes!!! install a giant iron spike in the middle of the steering wheel!!!!

Fuel prices are not the only reason to reconsider our love of utes
Reducing our use of one type of vehicle would make a big difference to air pollution, pedestrian safety, and New Zealand’s greenhouse gas emissions.

So many men. Mostly they never see a courtroom, and even when they do they just have to say 'oops sorry I didn't mean it and my friends still like me and haven't I suffered enough embarrassment and career damage already', and off they go to a wee stint of home d. It's absolutely structural.
