Aussie Enviro
An Australian community for everything from your backyard to beyond the black stump.
Topics may include Aussie plants and animals, environmental, farming, energy, and climate news and stories (mostly Aus specific), etc. New related communities will be split off when required, think like subcommunities that exist on that other platform.
Trigger Warning: Community contains mostly bad environmental news (not by choice!). Community may also feature stories about animal agriculture and/or meat. Until tagging is available, please be aware and click accordingly.

"The inner-suburban Yarra city council voted on Tuesday to investigate whether parking fees should be increased for larger vehicles such as SUVs and trucks due to safety concerns"
If there are safety concerns, raising the price of parking just puts a price on them, it doesn't make these vehicles any safer.
True, but this should at least discourage people from buying these vehicles, and collecting some revenue in the process (which in the case of cash starved local councils is a good thing). It would take a federal government effort to ban these vehicles altogether I suspect.
