The Australia Institute is the country’s most influential progressive think tank. Based in Canberra, it conducts research on a broad range of economic, social and environmental issues in order to inform public debate and bring greater accountability to the democratic process.
In other words it’s a lobby group whose sole purpose is to influence government decision making.
For most people the Carbon Tax will have no nett cost.
Well if that is the case how will this reduce CO₂emissions? The whole point of the carbon tax is it’s suppose to make using fossil fuels more expensive for everyone. The way it has been structured the wealthiest in society will pay the tax and lower income earners won’t. I can assure you that for the wealthiest this carbon tax will have a zero effect on their consumption and as the lower income earners are being compensated it will have minimal effect on their consumption habits either. All this tax is, is another excuse by left wing ideologist that pollute the ALP and Greens at further wealth redistribution, nothing more, nothing less, so please spare us the BS that it is good for the environment because it clearly has nothing to do with the environment at all.
