Mercedes-Benz EVs discounted by up to almost $70,000
Now, Mercedes-Benz is offering huge discounts across the range of curvaceous large and extra-large sedans and SUVs with savings of between $23,814 and $69,839 based on a Victorian postcode.
The company has over 100 new vehicles listed in stock across these four model lines on its website, and a look at in-stock vehicles reveals the largest discounts can be had on the Mercedes-AMG EQE53 sedan and Mercedes-Benz EQS450 limousine.

The smallest discounts are actually on the most expensive member of this EVA-based lineup, the Mercedes-Maybach EQS680.
Here's a breakdown of what's currently on offer, as of the morning of August 13, with pricing based on a private buyer with a Victorian postcode.
EQE300 SUV
EQE300 sedan
EQE350 SUV
AMG EQE53 SUV
AMG EQE53
EQS450
EQS450 SUV
Maybach EQS680
Of this quartet, the EQE SUV is by far the most popular. Mercedes-Benz has delivered 594 this year to the end of July, up 5.7 per cent on the same period last year.
It's followed by the EQE (90, down 13.5 per cent), the EQS SUV (22, down 72.2 per cent) and the EQS (2, down 66.7 per cent).
Mercedes-Benz removed the ability to configure a new EQE and EQS from its website last year, and while the model pages for these vehicles are still active, they stopped appearing in the vehicle range menu in March – something which the company has blamed on a technical issue.
Now, the EQE SUV and EQS SUV can no longer be configured via the website.
The EQE and EQS entered production in 2021, with their SUV counterparts following in 2022. All received styling dramatically different from equivalent combustion-powered Mercedes-Benz models, with more curvaceous – some would say blobby – styling.
Responding to criticism, Mercedes-Benz gave the EQS a facelift in Europe, bringing a more conventional grille, but this has yet to be confirmed for our market.
Earlier this year, Mercedes-Benz paused deliveries of all EVA-based models in the US due to slow sales.
The German automaker has said it's moving to a "coherent design language" across its portfolio, and is also ditching separate EQ nameplates.

Victoria is the nation's debt dunce but the competition is hotting up
Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan has previously indicated she is up for a conversation about how to broaden the tax base of states that don't have access to lucrative resource royalties. It may surprise some to learn that if you mention vertical fiscal imbalance, the premier can talk the leg off a chair. She also understands the urgency. Although a national agreement on health funding – the biggest expense items within her government's budget – commits the Commonwealth to eventually provide what the states consider a fair share, that day is still 10 years away. In the meantime, the state must find savings elsewhere or keep borrowing to make up the shortfall. This year the funding gap is $1.6 billion in a $22 billion health budget. (This column's earlier, unsolicited advice for the premier to dump her pet infrastructure project, the Suburban Rail Loop, has so far gone unheeded.) The state premiers didn't make it onto Chalmers' guest list and state/federal finances aren't on the agenda of his three-day powwow in Canberra next week. Eslake doesn't criticise these omissions from an already jam-packed roundtable program but he wonders how bad things need to get before Australia turns its mind to the thorny problem of rebalancing how money is spent and how revenue is raised across the Commonwealth. 'I think federal/state financial relations is an important issue, but I don't have a lot of company,' he laments. So, what exactly is this $900 billion elephant? According to the latest budget figures compiled by S&P Global Ratings, an international rating company that keeps a close eye on the fiscal position of the federal and state governments, this is the combined, gross debt of Australian states and territories forecast for the end of this decade. If we include the gross debt forecast to be on the federal government's own books by that stage, Australia's debt mountain will reach a $2.1 trillion base camp by June 30, 2029 along the way to a still unknown peak. Victoria, by its own budget figures, is the most indebted state in Australia. The $213 billion gross debt it has amassed as of July 1 this year represents nearly one third of the total debt currently owed by all states and territories combined. The best news for Victoria is that, in its push towards fiscal profligacy, it has some serious competition from Queensland and Tasmania. S&P lead analyst Martin Foo says while Victoria still has the weakest balance sheet of all state and territory governments, its raft of new property and payroll taxes unpopular with business has at least stabilised its fiscal position. 'We have pointed out consistently that a lot of the fiscal challenges Australia faces right now are at the state level, rather than federal level,' he says. 'Victoria has been the focus of attention for the last couple of years. Maybe it has flown under the radar a bit but some of the mid-sized and smaller states, particularly Tasmania and Queensland, are accumulating debt at a very rapid pace.' Eslake reckons his home state of Tasmania, which remains without a functioning government after two elections in the space of 15 months, already deserves Victoria's mantle as Australia's fiscal dunce. In 2019, Tasmania's gross debt was just $3.2 billion. That figure is forecast to treble this year and to increase more than six-fold from its pre-pandemic level by 2029. Loading Queensland is sharply accelerating the amount of debt it is taking on, with last year's figure of $106.6 billion forecast to nearly double by the end of the decade as the state prepares for the 2032 Olympics. Although these numbers look scarier the further you look into the future, the source of the problem is more immediate. The S&P figures show that in the last financial year, the states and territories posted a combined cash deficit of $55 billion.

ACTU's four-day work week may be economic roundtable's Big Idea
The Stonemasons' Society in Sydney won the eight-hour day in August 1855, and 170 years later the ACTU is pushing for comparable workplace change, a four-day week. The union movement is selling the idea to the economic reform roundtable next week as a bid to improve work-life balance, but many Australian workplaces still run on Victorian-era mindsets, with people working the same hours their great-great-grandparents put in more than 100 years ago. The impact of working parents, technology including the advent of the personal computer and AI, globalisation, the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting rise of working from home are accelerating workplace change like never before, yet few innovations have taken the form of a reduction in standard working hours. The ACTU pointed to a 2023 Swinburne University study that found 70 per cent of firms trialling the four-day week reported higher productivity, and another study, Nature Human Behaviour, surveying data across 141 organisations in Australia, Britain, Canada, New Zealand and Ireland, had similar results. Research in the UK reported two-thirds of 3000 workers had lower levels of burnout, 39 per cent less stress and 40 per cent less sleep difficulties. Their companies reported a 65 per cent drop in sick days, a 57 per cent drop in resignations and a 1.4 per cent increase in revenues. The ACTU argued that pay and conditions, including penalty rates, overtime and minimum staffing levels would need to be protected to ensure that reducing the number of days did not result in a loss of pay. The ACTU also proposed sector-specific alternatives for businesses where it was inappropriate to reduce hours, including more rostered days off, increasing annual leave and redesigning rosters to improve predictability. Loading Those academic reports cited by the ACTU surveyed firms user-friendly to a four-day week. But the trend towards reduced work time is not new, as major companies such as Unilever and IKEA have trialled, and in some cases adopted, a decrease in working hours. That said, business is understandably wary of such changes, not least since the ACTU failed to explain the probable and growing impact of working from home – especially coming after Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan announced plans to legislate a right to work from home – or the need to corral small businesses unable to financially risk embracing such change. The ACTU proposal followed the Reserve Bank of Australia revision of future productivity expectations down from 1 per cent to 0.7 per cent year-on-year that presaged slower economic growth and smaller living standards improvements. Treasurer Jim Chalmers dismissed suggestions Australia was experiencing an economic crisis, but said the nation faced a productivity challenge and the Albanese government's 'big agenda' would address the issue.
