It has been mandated by a corrupt and inept bunch of loonies with an agenda to bring our country down, no matter what.
I wouldnt quite say that, just a few loonies who want to turn us into Tasmania..
sadly as much as we complain about it, we are getting it forced upon us, so all we can do is adapt, i sold my gas guzzling turbo forester for a new econo diesel that uses 4.5l/100KM, so, where do i collect my carbon credits juliar? oh, thats right diesel will be copping the carbon tax, not petrol!
you Juliar! and Bob Brown.
