From | Kellarly Party | To | Debating the Private Car Bill | | Message | Cars that produce more than the average amount of exhaust could be taxed. Tests to show this could be done by a government body or an independent one. Also the fuels that could be used could remain without tax or at least a lessened amount of tax.

From | Federal Technocrats | To | Debating the Private Car Bill | | Message | The use of biofuels doesn't actually decrease the emission of exhaust much, as that is I assume the alternative fuel proposed, being the only practical option. Will this cover hybrid/electric car designs? |

From | Communist Party | To | Debating the Private Car Bill | | Message | Could we have an exemption on the increased taxation in the case of older, used cars? This way people who can't afford new cars won't be penalized for it. |
