40142 (2024). Tangi Utikere to the Minister of Transport: What evidence or data has the Minister seen, if any, that supports his claim that New Zealand and Australia are “effectively one car market”?

Hon Simeon Brown: The vehicle industry has consistently advised my officials that alignment with standards is beneficial because it allows New Zealand to be supplied with new vehicles as part of the Australian market.
