Video Description
Reporter Liam Bartlett puts the heat on Energy and Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen, demanding answers over the government's decision to spend tens of millions in taxpayer money to subsidise electric vehicles. Many of these EVs contain cheap nickel sourced from Indonesia that environmental critics label as "dirty" due to its high carbon footprint and damaging mining practices. Are these subsidies really helping the environment, or just fuelling another form of pollution? Is the government turning a blind eye to ethical sourcing in its race to meet climate targets? *Connect with 7NEWS Spotlight online* *Visit »* https://7news.com.au/spotlight *7NEWS Spotlight Podcast »* http://smarturl.it/7NewsSpotlight *Facebook »* https://www.facebook.com/7newsSpotlight/ *Instagram »* https://instagram.com/7newsSpotlight/ 7NEWS combines the trusted and powerful news brands including Sunrise, The Morning Show, The Latest, and 7NEWS.com.au, delivering unique, engaging and continuous coverage on the issues that matter most to Australians.
