Since all those state governments were Labor Gillard is really doing the near impossible and making herself even more of a spectacle of dishonesty and accelerating the destruction of her party. Does she think all Australians are really that stupid?
I reckon! The worst part about this is the Labor party corruption between Federal and State level. She had the power to empower the energy watchdog to do EXACTLY what she is threatening since Labor took office in 2007. Only now two things have changed, NSW and QLD assassinated state Labor parties AND the carbon tax came in, so all of a sudden it's a problem? She is dead set right in what she is saying about states gold plating their grids to increase revenue but the hypocracy in her jumping on it after she brings in the carbon tax is mind boggling. I dare Big A.D. Or Peter to name a worse federal government in Australia's history.
I love having solar. Unplug. alcohol distillery. biomass diesel. No more being extorted by energy companies. No more being extorted by fuel giants. Grow your own. Recycle waste. .
I thought the weather looked like when I was growing up. I remember long hot dry summers and being sent home from school when the temperature was too high to continue, and almost tropical storms around Christmas and chill you to the bone Easters. (Melbourne, Australia). Now it seems someone has found the charts. http://stevengoddard.wordpress.com/...-and-tells-us-what-to-expect-looking-forward/ Melbourne: home of four seasons in one day.
Whatever You Think of Global Warming Fascism is Not Cool http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2010/03/whatever-you-think-of-global-warming-fascism-is-not-cool.html That my friends is what Global warming is all about... control, carbon tax is a "life tax" it taxes the very breath in our lungs

OH BOY!! I was hoping to find the usual suspects on here spouting their charateristic verbal diarrhea and it looks like i'm not going to be disappointed... :lol:
It's not that "nobody mentions it" - it's more like the Fabian scumbags who are propagating it simply IGNORE THIS FACT simply because further scrutiny down this line will unwind the pug ugly truth behind their whole agenda and the scumbags behind it.
The extreme right and left are two points on exactly the same spot of the circle - on the exact opposite side of the circle to where libertarianism and freedom of the individual lies. Those supporting a carbon tax = supporing UN control one world government are no different to the Adolf Hitlers and Joseph Stalins of this world...
I've said it once before and i'll say it again - water vapour (H2O) in the atmosphere has a much greater "greenhouse effect" than does CO2. so what do the government lovers want to do next? Introduce a water tax? [that would be rather consistent since they're already taxing another essential ingredient of life [CO2] so the dumbasses may as well propagate a tax on H2O as well]. Methane has a much much much higher greenhouse gas effect than does CO2... So what you gonna do? Introduce a new tax on farting? :lol:
In Keynesian economic theory any levies, taxes or the like is supposed to be shared between the Consumer and the Company. The amount depends on several factors such as the price elasticity etc. The problem when it comes to the real world is that some companies are oligopolies or monopolies such as electricity, gas, water utilities so they can effectively collaborate and pass the full brunt of this 'carbon cost' to the consumer. The most recent electricity bill for me reflects this. They probably added more than the carbon tax cost onto my bill. So I agree with YKY too. In theory the carbon tax would work very nicely in a perfect world, in practice it fails hard.
