Road user charging, EV recharging infrastructure and the performance of the automotive market were among the issues discussed with the Victorian Government in August. Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan has a strong understanding of the automotive sector and offered her support for ongoing engagement with relevant members of her Cabinet as industry and government work towards effective policy outcomes. FCAI maintained an ongoing dialogue with staff from the office of Victorian Roads and Road Safety Minister Melissa Horne following a meeting in July.
Engagement with several key cross-bench members in the NSW Parliament is continuing in the interests of increasing the knowledge of the industry, the complexity of issues being addressed and the impact on NSW consumers. MPs are welcoming the ongoing engagement and where appropriate and relevant, offering support to the industry in the interests of encouraging positive debate.
