Family First is concerned that the increased car tax would unfairly hit farmers and tourism operators - especially when they are already doing it pretty tough. The vehicles they use are not a luxury but more of a tool of trade.

I thought you might find the attached interview from the ABC Lateline program of some value.

What a joke and a waist of time.

Got the same stock standard reply. He's supposed to be "family first" ... unless your family happens to need luxuries like a toyota tarago ...

Good news (for some) is that I heard the Libs were pushing for an amendment to make the LCT increase not apply to vehicles purchased before 1 July, even if delivery was after. Read this in the fin review, but can't find it on the net anywhere else...
