Australians love big cars, and it's undoing the good work of the shift to more electric and hybrid vehicles.

      The problem is the tax writeoffs are for businesses. You can’t close that loophole unless the govt gets into the weeds of defining exactly what a “work truck” is. Those people who claim tax writeoffs on these yank tanks actually do use them for work or appear to. Even if the use is just driving to work.
