PM denies electric vehicles policy backflip

A Labor policy on electric vehicles was blasted by Scott Morrison at the 2019 election - now, he's denying that support for the electric industry is a massive backflip, after announcing a new $250 million strategy to help Australians transition to electric cars. Industry groups warn the policy - which rules out subsidies or tax incentives - means many Australians won't be able to afford them in the first place.
