Very strongly agree

Yes

The Australian Labor Party (ALP) has consistently supported stronger environmental regulations, including stricter fuel efficiency standards. In 2023, the Albanese Labor government announced plans to introduce a New Vehicle Efficiency Standard, which would set limits on average emissions for new cars, aligning with this answer.

Yes, and also invest in high speed rail and public transportation

Labor has a strong record of supporting both stricter fuel efficiency standards and investment in public transport and high-speed rail. The 2022 and 2023 budgets included significant funding for rail and public transport infrastructure, aligning with this comprehensive approach.

Slightly agree

No, provide incentives instead of penalties to create fuel alternatives

While Labor supports incentives for cleaner vehicles and alternative fuels (such as subsidies for electric vehicles), they do not see incentives as a substitute for regulation. Their policy approach is to use both incentives and standards, so they might mildly agree with incentives but not as a replacement for stricter standards.

Very strongly disagree

No

Labor has publicly criticised the previous Coalition government's reluctance to implement fuel efficiency standards and has made it a policy priority to introduce such measures. Therefore, they would strongly disagree with not imposing stricter standards.

Very strongly disagree

No, and eliminate the EPA

The ALP supports the existence and strengthening of environmental regulatory bodies. Eliminating the EPA (or its Australian equivalent, such as the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water) is fundamentally opposed to Labor's platform.
