Labor's carbon tax lie

[springhill]

Could not be a more fitting song for this cretin govt and where they are taking us.

 

[bigdog]

Juliar; lets start with 500 companies to start with and we will fool many.

Someone needs to ask Juliar what will happen to the 500 companies12 months after launch in July 2012. 1000+ companies I suspect and increassing annually.

My question is - They are willing to compensate 'Orstralian Families' for a $23/t carbon tax. Will they double the compensation if the tax rises to $46/t? Or will the excess disappear into Govt Revenue under the claim of 'rising Govt costs associated with distributing the tax' or some other lame excuse.

What if, under an ETS, it goes to $69/t, will they triple the compensation?

As the carbon tax increases, will the hand outs keep pace?

Is there going to be a never ending stream of compo?

And how much compo does someone who loses their job due to this tax receive? I'll bet it's a fair bit less than whatever they're earning at the moment.

Also posted in another thread, however it also fits in with the carbon tax lie which is being taught as fact in our schools and which I know happened with my granddaughter last year for the duration of a school term. So this lie is being flooded everywhere and even to impressionable kids by their trusted teachers.

I often think there should be a royal inquiry into the fiscal management of this government and now into the education system to ensure that our kids are not being taught political rubbish.

From News.com.au by Bruce McDougall and Jenny Dillon:

Full story: Australian children are being terrified by climate change lessons

PRIMARY school children are being terrified by lessons claiming climate change will bring "death, injury and destruction" to the world unless they take action.

Yes dutchie, and this Green/Labor socialist left Gillard government are trying to stifle Lord Monckton from speaking at forums through devious means.

Why are they so frightened of Lord Monckton and Prodessor Bob Carter?

Where has freedom of speech gone?

People who believe in AGW are fundamentalists and as such cannot be swayed by rational argument or common sense. Their preachings have no place in the school curriculum, any more than other fundamentalist beliefs like Creation or Intelligent Design or Scientology.

The trick of course, is to call it Science or better still "The Science", and who can object to Science being taught in schools?

Very true Calliope. They are certainly a devious lot taking it to the schools.

They call it 'brain washing'.

BINGO!

THE Australian named as co-chair to President Barack Obama's newly created committee on manufacturing has a message for the Australian government: the carbon tax is ill-timed and bad for investment.

As we on the forum have been saying, it is about more tax not about reducing carbon.

 

[Calliope]

Wilkie is the last of the Inter Party Climate Change Committee to get his bribe. This group, like pigs around the trough have all been bribed to agree to support the Carbon Tax, and they are all grinning like a rat with a gold tooth.

The only ones who have had absolutely no say in the outcomes of this committee are the 58.5% (Morgan Poll) of the electorate who support the Coalition. This is democracy in action.

 

[trainspotter]

The black hole of financial oblivion awaits.

THE government's claim that it will provide permanent compensation to 70 per cent of households for its carbon tax is based on a false premise: that the Australian government will receive the revenues from the tax and of permit sales in the subsequent emissions trading scheme.

But Treasury's modelling of the carbon pollution reduction scheme found that by 2050 nearly 50 per cent of permits would be imported, even with the 2020 target set at a 5 per cent reduction in emissions below 2000 levels. Were the target a 25 to 30 per cent fall in emissions, the share of imported permits would exceed 60 per cent.

Why am I surprised by this?

 

[trainspotter]

Slippery slope for some. WHO is going to take the blame for this one?

10% of Australia's Carbon Tax given to the United Nations

 

[Calliope]

On Insiders this morning there were two guests interviewed by Barrie Cassidy separately, Oakeshott and Katter One for the tax and one against it. One thing was apparent. I doubt if two bigger ratbags ever disgraced the Independent benches of Parliament.

The Labor Party persuasion machine has lifted off. Gradually the typical Australian will feel themselves saying, "gee, what a fantastic idea. I love Julia, Wayne and Greg."

For me it is the beginning of the end in Australia for large industry. Yes the large industry that all the small industries have business with. America, China and lordy lordy not to mention India, can continue creating more pollution than ever and that is fine.

Climate change? What a load of b.s.

Don't worry Calliope, as I speak Queenslanders are on their verandahs, polishing their baseball bats, waiting for an election.

Poor ole Anna Bligh will cop it first, the the Green and Independent Coalition Rulers in Canberra next.

Oops I forgot Federal Labor. They are forgettable of course, out of touch, bad managers and not a political brain amongst them.

Roll on the elections.

ps I sat beside a pollie in QF Business on Friday and was told that one of the Government side is not a well person. So we may be looking at an election sooner than we thought.

To eliminate the tax part of the compensation above $80k (single), they're proposing to increase the marginal rate as income approaches $80k. I don't know by how much, but they're increasing it.

Out of all the bull**** that was aired on the ABC today, the one statement that summed it all up was made by Bob Brown. He said about Windsor and Oakeshott, regarding their work on the committee;

"The independents showed lot of statespersonship."

Really?

I feel a bit sorry for Bob. Christine Milne has certainly got him by the short and curlies.
