Clinton Maynard is joined by Tony Weber, Chief Executive of the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries, to discuss latest figures that show Australia experienced a thriving new-car market in 2023 despite being in a cost of living crisis. The impressive outcome, with a record-breaking 1,216,780 vehicles delivered throughout the year, defied concerns about interest rates and the overall cost of living. This marked the largest achievement in the history of the new-car market, surpassing the closest previous year, 2017, which saw 1,189,116 vehicles delivered.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The car industry - still bending you over … and telling you (with a straight face) how this is a real plus for you.

See, a proposal being considered by a Senate committee next week would see prices for new cars fixed, eliminating haggling and negotiated discounts. “That capacity to negotiate with someone who negotiates day in, day out in their lives, being the dealer, is a fear factor for some consumers. This takes away the negotiation price.” Tony Weber there - Rear Admiral of the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries. Almost speaking the Queen’s English. One of my all-time favourite industry dudes. I find Mr Weber endlessly entertaining. A master. And you don’t see that very often. The convoluted logic is, apparently: ‘we’ll take away your terror (of being ripped off by a professional rabid negotiator) by making sure everyone pays top-dollar and therefore gets ripped-off equally. We’ll eliminate all of the discounts. Problem solved. Like, what next? Nuclear proliferation, cancer or world peace? Currently, you can go to a dealer and negotiate a better price, or get ripped off by paying the full freight. Under this proposal, ‘full freight’ is the only option. So, here’s the thing: Buying a new car is just like buying a fridge, or a TV. Or a camera. Retailers (called ‘car dealers’ in this instance) buy the cars from the carmaker. Selling them to you becomes the dealer’s problem at this point. Dealers can discount the prices as they see fit, because prices generally cannot be fixed under Australian law. The only difference is: when you buy a TV or a camera, you see all the different brands of TVs and cameras up on the wall in some shop, and you can compare them directly. And this is really good - Sony has this, Panasonic has that, Canon does it like this … kinda thing. With cars, dealers sell only one brand under the one roof, and you therefore must traipse all over town to view the direct competitors on your short list. That’s generally a bit of a bastard. If refrigerators and TVs and bicycles and tools and cameras and hardware and caravans and boats and holidays and - everything else - can all be sold by independent retailers without price-fixing, why is it such a good idea to fix the price of cars? Riddle me that. What is so special about cars? Why are cars so commercially unique and demanding of special regulatory consideration in this bilaterally grubby under-the-table up-touching ballet which seems to routinely to play out between politicians and lobbyists? This is really happening because car companies are at war with car dealers, and they want to see them eliminated. Or, at the very least, grossly disempowered. Essentially carmakers want you to buy direct, from them, online, with no negotiation.

They let animals live like animals. “Pigs need to express their pigness.” Cows and sheep eat grass, chickens thrive on pasture, and pigs desperately need to root. So, they let them. Their animals move daily from paddock to paddock, building and fertilizing the soil, leaving valuable waste behind, avoiding disease, and calmly flourishes. Because of this way of life, there is no need for antibiotics or hormones. Finally, Doug opines that farmers and ranchers need to put more emphasis on investing in their land.

We label people we don't understand. We label people we fear. We label people we have written off as not being worthy of our time or friendship. Labeling people makes them easier to hate. Labeling people can trick us into believing that our hate is justified. The Diversity Center of Northeastern Ohio is a human relations organization dedicated to eliminating bias, bigotry, and racism. Today's podcast is about The Center and its new film, #RethinkLabels, which brings more awareness to the way we use labels to describe other people.
