Finance Minister Nicola Willis defended the Government’s proposal to increase vehicle registration fees as part of a $20 billion transport plan. This plan includes building new motorways and improving public transport infrastructure, with funding partially from increased fuel taxes and vehicle fees. Despite criticism for raising costs amid living expense concerns, Willis describes the fee adjustment as necessary for maintaining and expanding the nation’s transport system, emphasizing the long-term benefits over the short-term financial impact on vehicle owners.
