Why does National need to misrepresent and Simeon Brown lie?

National are scrambling to justify the Governments attack on EVs as oil spikes.

The reality is that the subsidy worked and helped more people buy electric cars while creating a second hard market.

National attacked it because they made it a Ute Tax culture war issue where their masculinity was attached to petrol engines.

The lies National and Simeon Brown have spun to justify scrapping the subsidy are absurd…

…cough.

Bullshit.

…National, ACT and NZF sold the EVs as a rich subsidy for woke wankers spending money on expensive cars when the subsidy never allowed for that.

It’s more important for the Right to lie to you and misrepresent policy as woke overreach than be honest.
