1 00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:03,840 Speaker 1: Jes and Amanda jam Nyson down. 2 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:05,560 Speaker 2: To the jonesy De matter of arms to the pub test. 3 00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:07,360 Speaker 2: In the Sydney Morning Herald the other day there was 4 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 2: an opinion piece by Shane Wright titled hate all the 5 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,280 Speaker 2: monster utes on our streets? Your tax dollars help pay 6 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 2: for them. I think you might remember this story. During 7 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:19,919 Speaker 2: the pandemic, the Morrison government increased the maximum ride off 8 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,439 Speaker 2: to one hundred and fifty thousand dollars for tradees, utes 9 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:24,439 Speaker 2: and stuff. Do you remember that? 10 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 3: Sales of them obviously through the roof. 11 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 2: That's why. And if you've noticed lately there's a million 12 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 2: of those Dodge Rams. You've got the Raptors, the Rangers, 13 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 2: the Highluxes, there's so many. If it's one of our 14 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 2: biggest selling vehicles now. 15 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 3: And many of them are being used as family transporters. 16 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 3: Why wouldn't you if you've got that giant tax ride 17 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 3: off when you bought one. But having said that, they 18 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,199 Speaker 3: take up a lot of space on our roads. They 19 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,839 Speaker 3: take up a lot of space when they're parking. It's 20 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 3: hard to see around them in the traffic. Our streets 21 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 3: of Chocolate block with them. 22 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 2: And for disclosure, I've got to add a land Cruise, 23 00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 2: which I laugh. I've had it for a thousand years, 24 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 2: but nineteen ninety four model eighty series land Cras and 25 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 2: I drive it probably once a month when I'm moving 26 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 2: staff or towing stuff. But I wouldn't drive it every day. 27 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 3: The streets near where I live, it's so hard to 28 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 3: get around because people are parking these big cars driving 29 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 3: up tiny streets. It's really really hard. So how do 30 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 3: you feel large four wheel drives so they pass the 31 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 3: pub test? 32 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: Yes, they do, especially for me as I tail horses 33 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:22,960 Speaker 1: and those. 34 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 4: Type of things, and I need all the space for 35 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:25,839 Speaker 4: all the all the gear. 36 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: Sos are very important for me to have a football drive. 37 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 5: They certainly do. I have a Toyota Prado, which is 38 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 5: like a smaller version of Jones's land Cruiser. Great the 39 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 5: kids when they were in their car seats, because you 40 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 5: didn't have to bend down to put them in. I 41 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 5: think they're great for families. 42 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: Oh look that they are a good thing. And nine 43 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: times eight times out of ten you're getting used for 44 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: the wrong purpose. What they should do is turn. 45 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 5: Around and go. 46 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 1: You know, if the only be out at ten, there's 47 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: a lot more room or black put somewhere yeah, you're 48 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: gonna have one. But if yeah, there are five, doc 49 00:01:58,600 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: they should start target. 50 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 4: I think if you're a trading and you knowed they 51 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 4: passed the pub test, but I think they're a bit 52 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 4: over the top. They take up the road and yeah, look, 53 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 4: most people aren't using them as trade vehicles. They're using 54 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 4: them for family getaways, which is fine too, but you 55 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 4: know if the government given tax breaks for them, and 56 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 4: I don't think it's rare, so no, they don't pass 57 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 4: the pub test. 58 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: To me, Dad drives the Fall Drive just to get 59 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:24,639 Speaker 1: the idea of how big it is. You can could 60 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: have a double queen beat in the back and he 61 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: really loves driving it, and why shouldn't he be. 62 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 5: Able to drive it. My nineteen year old son has 63 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 5: a trade and he has one. He's actually raised it, 64 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 5: which is more annoying. And I just they're just horrible 65 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 5: on the road. There's so many of them, and they 66 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 5: don't pass the pub test at all. 67 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 2: Not the first time a mum has it like their 68 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 2: son's car. 69 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 3: No, but also all those tax incentives that went that way, 70 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 3: not towards electric cars, and no one who is so 71 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 3: far behind the keep it in church. This is our 72 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 3: church Brendan
