The Turnbull Government says it is still considering introducing new emissions standards for cars, but insists the plan would not be a 'carbon tax'.
While no decision has been made, the government is still considering new rules that would regulate how much carbon cars can emit.
But it says that's different to a carbon tax.
The Infrastructure Department has proposed new standards that would force car-makers to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, or face fines.
Opposition leader Bill Shorten says Labor does not have any plans for a carbon tax either, but the opposition is ready to support new emissions standards.
