Don't worry, the carbon tax won't take your pants and leave you totally naked (hopefully), but you, like the majority will be poorer for the experience as you have worked out...... That is an odd response.

It is, put simply, an exercise in socialism dressed up as environmentalism.
Plus those who voted for them not out of any philosophical concerns, but simply because they hated both the main parties.I won't get stuck into vegans as that's just a choice about what to eat, but I do feel there are many voters who support the Greens without fully understanding what they actually represent.

Not at all. Your user name indicates that you are no stranger to doing your dough. You obviously had false expectations that Gillard would compensate you in some way for acceptance of the Carbon Tax.
And going by this:We will all have not only increased household electricity accounts (plus the amount the energy companies whack in as they claim "the uncertainty still pertaining to the whole carbon tax situation will result in higher prices which will have to be passed on to the consumer"),
but also everything you buy/consume has electricity as a component.
Was watching some senate committee hearings regarding the carbon dioxide tax. Being interviewed was a major Victorian electricity wholesale supplier. They were asked how much they expect the carbon tax to increase their wholesale costs. Their response was a 30% increase in their wholesale rate
So much for the theory that this tax will have little impact
Cheers
Although I agree that they shouldn't put up the Carbon Tax, I don't think it would be that bad. Scandinavian countries had the Carbon Tax for years and they're still doing good.

Looking forward to the sky falling in, plague and pestilence visiting you all soon.
Don't fret Abbotts blood promise is he will remove the tax......then spend your taxes through the back using the folly called direct action.
That's of course after Hockey blows a $70 bil hole to the forward estimates cannot wait.
I thought he was a skeptic.Don't fret Abbotts blood promise is he will remove the tax......then spend your taxes through the back using the folly called direct action.
I thought he was a skeptic.
He might actually do away with the so-called direct action as well when in power.
We can only hope.
60pc say Abbott would repeal tax
Coalition primary vote at 51pc
Lead 58-42 on two-party preferred
Julia Gillard ... unpopular after passing the carbon tax.
TONY Abbott would be handed an overwhelming mandate to abolish the carbon tax if the coalition won the next election and he became the prime minister.
A clear majority of voters, 60 per cent, believe the Opposition Leader would have the electoral and moral authority to repeal the tax.
It is only 2011.I think that is highly likely as we are already seeing the majority of Aussies turning away from anything carbon. I think there is far greater public awareness and with dire AGW predictions not happening, people are certainly becomming more sceptical.
The year the hyperbowlIt is only 2011.
Take with one hand, reverse that after 12 months but then take some with the other hand.Ummm, has everyone forgotten that the Flood Levy, which affects high income earners the most, will be removed on June 30 next year? Here, I expect its removal to cover any increase in cost-of-living expenses due to the introduction of the Carbon Tax.
I'd say it will only be a short step from repealing the carbon tax (which Tony Abbott absolutely has to do, however difficult it is, if he is to maintain any credibility) to "postponing" any action on so called climate change.I thought he was a skeptic.
He might actually do away with the so-called direct action as well when in power.

I actually thought rather the opposite, Sails, in view of Labor's small bounce in the poll. I'd have expected a further fall in their rating now that the carbon tax legislation is through.I think that is highly likely as we are already seeing the majority of Aussies turning away from anything carbon. I think there is far greater public awareness and with dire AGW predictions not happening, people are certainly becomming more sceptical.
This is confirmed with this poll out yesterday:
Julia, how is it that this odd scheme has made it through parliment? Surely this is a joke...
You should be working for the government (um, perhaps you are?) with this level of spin!!!Ummm, has everyone forgotten that the Flood Levy, which affects high income earners the most, will be removed on June 30 next year? Here, I expect its removal to cover any increase in cost-of-living expenses due to the introduction of the Carbon Tax. As a bonus, my wife will get a tax cut.
