Thousands of Australians with ‘Killer’ SUVs’ can double the park rates under a new plan, along with a Sydney Council.
Matthew Thompson, a member of the Green Assembly, took action for SUVs to the City of Sydney Council on Monday for triple parking fees for SUVs and ‘luxury trucks’.
Currently, parking in Sydney is $ 8.20 per hour. In accordance with the bid, the owners of such vehicles will reduce a $ 24,60 every hour.
We will pay taxes to ‘SUVs. SUVs are big: big problems, big pollutants, big killers, Mr. Thompson said in a tiktok video about the movement.
If the SUVs were a country, it would be the fifth largest CO2 emitter in the world.
‘They are also real dangerous, their size and weights are more likely to kill a cyclist or the bow in the collision.’
The proposal was voted by the Council, but the Greens members are expected to return with a ‘workshop’ proposal, news.com.au notified.
The idea came under fire from NRMA, who accused of misunderstood SUVs in Sydney CBD and accusing of threatening.

NRMA spokesman Peter Khoury told Daily Mail to Australia on Wednesday, “ If you look at today’s SUVs, many of them are among the safest of our roads.
He said that the vehicles are increasingly saving fuel, especially hybrids, and early warning and braking systems to protect others on the road.
“While trying to return people desperately to the city, the movement means zero economic meaning in the CBD,” he said.
‘We want to encourage them not to return and not to punish them.’
SUVs that protect the courage in cities have been investigated both on a national and global scale.
In March 2024, the Yarra City Council in the east of Melbourne voted to investigate the possibility of implementing higher parking fees and costs for the driving forces of large SUVs.
His policy and the policy of Mr. Thompson’s proposal tried to imitate a Paris system seeing that park rates were three times. The heaviest SUVs are compared with other tools.
The French city Lyon took a similar action and expressed his support to the Mayor of London.

“But Sydney is not Paris and Australia is not France, Kh Houry said.
‘Driving habits are different. Driving in Australia offers the difficulties they do not have in Europe. ‘
Sydneysides, was divided by Mr. Thompson’s video, which is the line of the film paroeted girls b *** h, we go shopping ‘.
Mr. Thompson and other Green Assembly Member Olivia Barlow were taken in a small car and the first says: ‘Enter, loser. We will pay taxes to SUVs’.
That’s for me. I hate big cars with a burning passion ‘he said.
SUVs have no place on the city roads. However, the dead are useful in the bushes, ” he said.
However, others said the proposal could not catch the requests and needs of the Australians.
One person, “ What a wonderful idea – to tax people who live from afar and need big vehicles – as we are not taxed enough, ‘he said.
This is actually terrible. When I returned to the drawing board, ‘he wrote.
‘Australians spoke and car manufacturers are listening to what we want. And this larger cars, ‘one -third accepted.
