@Jabawocky - I hold a CPL and my VH-registered plane is hangared at YMMB.

In response to your other points:

The financial impact of the Carbon Tax is minimal, typically less than $10 a week.

The Government offsets, in the form of direct compensation and tax breaks, are typically slightly greater than $10 a week.

The true cost of the Carbon Tax is not financial (which probably has no net cost); the true cost is the pain of having to listen to boorish, crazy and ill-informed people rant on about it on a popular aviation forum.

@Jabawocky - you should consult your doctor with a view to having the dose of your medication reviewed.
