The government is telling us we are confused about the carbon tax. Well they are right. I'm confused as to why those arrogant bullies won't listen to the overwhelming majority of people with regards to the money grab (carbon tax).
We haven't paid the flood levy yet! How much money do they think they can keep sucking out of us. Regional Australia already pays more for EVERYTHING than those that live in the cities where the population is much higher. Wagga has only two choices for energy, Country Energy and AGL. I DID change to AGL and when I got my first billI immediately changed back and forfeited the fee. The bill was much higher and every future bill has a $90 "access" fee. No thanks.
Tell them to do us all a favour and call an election and stop running the country into oblivion.

This is not a climate change prevention measure-
It is a blatent new tax and weath redistribution stunt.

I can't see the carbon tax surviving the last week's financial turmoil.

And I can't see Julia Gillard surviving this month. The turmoil in the ALP is surely now so great that within that time if the independents don't pull the plug one or more of her party will not find it worth the bother to get out of bed one morning.

If carbon credits can be purchased overseas, then who will get that money?

Anybody who believes that this would raise living standards in third world countries should listen to what Noel Pearson and Mr Yunupingu have been saying in the last couple of weeks.
