    Maybe your politicians should do something about it then. I have no idea how australian import of cars work. But in Denmark there is, at standard 175% taxes on a car. They removed this for electric vhicles which made them explode. The infrastructure of charging was suddenly a good business. And over a span of 6 years electrics now is the majority of cars on the roads.

      We no longer have any extra tariffs on Cars, as the Australian auto industry is long gone there is nothing to protect.

        Is this true? The luxury car tax was bought in to protect our auto industry, I thought that was still a thing even though our auto industry is long dead
