USA OUTLAWS EU Carbon Tax...
You people that advocate the majors don't realise, the same puppeteers control both parties. The agenda goes ahead no matter who you elect.
You think Tony will reverse this tax? Yep Santa is visiting soon as well.
Sadly the greens are no better. I just don't vote.

Here is another article from the Principal-Scientific group. The language is more attuned to the meteorologist within all pilots.

...as we've extensively covered already, you've been denying the realities of basic physics for quite some time now, right Binghi?

Simple
Could the concept of a Carbon Tax be as simple a rort as some may expect?
Read "The Report From Iron Mountain". You will either believe the report to have been a hoax or believe that it is based on reality. Either way, there are some clever tax grabbing con's listed in this 'report', and some of these have been introduced in the past 20 years. Not bad from a report from 40 years ago that discusses these 'clever, subtle and astute' ways to grab money from your pocket without you either noticing or fighting it.
Government loves scaring you with gloom and destruction stories so they can soften your resolve and scare you into submission.
Carbon Tax = 110% baseless money grab. A con, a rort, a fiddle. CROOKS!

Aye Aye Mr B,
Be that as it may, (I haven't checked..) IF 'they' didn't bloody well waste half of it on 'hair brained' schemes and 'feel good' overseas donations, etc, we would have a wunnerful country ....full of the required infrastructures, and, water even......
Don't start me....
Charity begins at home......

The Carbon Tax in Australia turned out to be a big non-event, in spite of all the conservative whiners.
More needs to be done to mitigate the effects of man-made global warming.
My biggest criticism of the Carbon Tax would be too-little too-late.

If my electricity costs went up by that much, so did others(and fuel costs), they will pass that on, and in turn others will, this tax will snowball and we're already seeing that happen. I'm an exporter, not in the position to pass the costs on.. and not receiving any of the so called "compensation" which is supposed to offset the effect. This is socialist wealth redistribution, does nothing for the environment
BTW, Juliar can threaten the electricity providers all she want's... it doesn't change the fact that the main price problem is caused by the tax she swore we would never have..

I think those Smart Meters are great!
Those old electro-mechanical power meters were 60 year old technology. Good riddance. Some old fuddy-duddies can't handle any change, no matter how small or compelling!
One of the things I like about the Smart Meters is that now I can get solar cells for the roof and they will plug straight in.

Peter, your propaganda inspired missives are amusing at best but sadly indicitave of a troll doing no more than promoting a government agenda.
Solar cells have never plugged into smart meters and never will, your lack of understanding of solar power is obvious. I am guessing your understanding of the carbon tax is equally lacking.

I have no issue with overseas humanitarian aid; I wish we'd do more of it. Australia spends one third as much as top givers. (Probably doesn't include the money wasted on blowing up buildings and shooting people abroad.)
And even most "*hare* brained" schemes have had a positive effect in that it kept money flowing in times when nobody else was spending, which saved us from a possibly much worse recession.
Keynesian economics and all...
What surprises me is that people whinge about a few million wasted here and there, but nobody cares about to hundred billion+ combined cost of buying a poor 5th gen fighter we don't need and letting the same mob build new submarines because the previous lot they built was no good.

This is socialist wealth redistribution
Scrapping diesel rebate for mining would save $5.1b, say Greens
Coal and gas paid $7b in subsidies | Latest Business & Australian Stock market News | The Courier-Mail
After $1.1bn in subsidies, Falcon can't fly
This is really getting out of control! Australia has become a real welfare state - a corporate welfare state, that is. One where we fund foreign-owned companies because they can't compete on their own here. Disgraceful.

Australia is a modern western-style social democracy.
If you examine key economic and political indicators it becomes apparent the country is quite well run. There is a reason lots of people want to come here, it's a comfortable, safe and well run place to live.
If you look at things like:
Relatively low tax rate for a modern economy
Low corruption and well-respected instututions
Quite transparent democratic systems, judiciary and government
High education levels
etc etc
It's a good place to live. If you don't like it, no one will stop you leaving. Drop me a line, I'll make time to drive you to an international airport.

Diesel fuel rebate goes to a few more companies than BHP, Twiggy or Gina. But hey, it makes a good headline. Heard talk of a young fella with an earthmoving business up in Qld coal country. Over 40 big machines pushing dirt, after the mining tax came in, he was forced to park up half of them. Big bucks for him but imagine the hit on the shifts of employees that got layed off. But do not worry, only those big nasty rich companies are the ones targeted.
