'Shorten wants to end the weekend': Morrison attacks Labor's electric vehicle policy

Labor leader says PM has run out of steam on 'scare campaigns' and resorted to 'scaring you about their own policies'

The latest stage of the unofficial 2019 federal election campaign has opened with a battle over Australia's electric car future, with Scott Morrison accusing Bill Shorten of wanting to "end the weekend".

In response the Labor leader accused the government of running out of steam on "scare campaigns" and so it had resorted to "scaring you about their own policies", as the two major parties argue the toss on very similar policies.
