Mick Willing, the Liberal candidate for Camden at the next state election, has welcomed today’s announcement that a NSW Liberal Government would deliver a $100 car registration rebate as a much-needed cost-of-living relief measure for local families.
Under the plan, individuals will be able to claim a $100 rebate on the registration of a private-use vehicle, with drivers eligible for a rebate on up to two private vehicles. The rebate will be available for 2027 vehicle registrations.
“Camden families have been doing it incredibly tough,” said Mr Willing, picture above.
“Seemingly endless jumps in food, energy and petrol prices, repeated rent and mortgage hikes have left people facing difficult financial decisions.
“This rebate gives straightforward and practical help for a community that relies more than most on cars to get us to work, get kids to school and to stay connected,” Mr Willing said.
Leader of the Opposition Kellie Sloane said a stronger NSW starts with helping families get ahead and stay ahead.
“Families don’t expect government to solve every problem, but they do expect it not to make life harder,” Ms Sloane said.
“Our registration rebate is practical cost of living relief.
“Combined with our Fuel Price Guarantee and the restoration of the Regional Seniors Travel Card, it shows the NSW Liberals and Nationals have a clear plan to support families and ease pressure on household budgets.’’
Shadow minister for roads Mark Coure said drivers had been hit with a stealth tax under the Minns Labor Government.
“On Treasury’s own forecasts, drivers could be paying almost $100 more each year in registration charges by 2028 compared to when Labor came to office,’’ he said.
“Drivers are being treated as a revenue source for this Government. We believe that money should stay in the pockets of the people who earned it.”
