43739 (2024). Hon Julie Anne Genter to the Minister of Transport: Will the penalty rates applied for bringing in vehicles with excess emissions in New Zealand also be aligned to penalties that apply under the Australian vehicle standards, if not, why not?

Hon Simeon Brown: I am advised that penalty alignment with Australia is not straightforward as they take two forms. The first is a civil penalty per gram of CO2. The second is an infringement fee per gram of CO2.
