EV owners told to send in odometer readings for road tax, and they are not happy

Victoria electric vehicle owners have received a letter asking for a photo of their odometer for the state's EV road tax. And they are not happy.

I think this is going to lead to the come back of odometer rollback services.

What the hell is it with the small minded simpletons who come up with this $hit? It's almost like a pre-requisite for being a politician or running a public authority is being mentally stunted and ignorant of what's going on around them. Oh, wait, of course those are pre-requisites.

Stuff like this gets my back up (can you tell? ), I don't know the solution other than all EV owners in the area clubbing together and making a noise. That said, the PM over there isn't exactly sympathetic to SAVING THE PLANET, perhaps he was dropped on his head as a baby.

Maybe the rest of the world should look to isolate the AU administration - not the people, it's not their fault - to put pressure on them to tow (toe?) the environmental line. The reef is already on the way out due to apathy.

Plus they will no doubt add an admin fee for collecting the tax as well
or as in south Australia a fee for collecting a government fee

Like I said earlier, this is such a stupid thing for the authorities to do in Australia

Couldn’t agree more

Unfortunately their case seems to be a bit like in 'The Castle' though I'm not sure they'll have the same result.
