Description

The Government's pointing to market changes and consumer costs as motivation for changing 2023's Clean Vehicle Standard. 

It gave importers credits for meeting carbon targets, and charged them if they missed.  

But Transport Minister Chris Bishop says charges are falling on the consumer, which will now be slashed nearly 80 percent.

Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says the Government's wasted no time getting this through.
