GOVT. REBATES FOR EV'S & HYBRID VEHICLES
The Govt. yesterday announced incentives and rebates (in their attempt to lower emissions) for purchasing EV's and Hybrid vehicles but with lots of restrictive provisos. I am curious to know if those rebates and incentives would be enough to make you change from internal combustion to EV or Hybrid.
Personally, it doesn't offer anywhere enough for me to even consider. I believe their offer is pathetic and won't allow many to change because of the cost factors plus that type of vehicle is only in its infancy and there are many unknowns and limitations to be ironed out, let alone the extremely limited charging network.
I am sure one of the Press/Stuff journalists will put up a more comprehensive article.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
