I attended a conference of the National Civic Council last weekend.

I listened with interest as Professor Bob Carter, who has expertise in 2 disciplines pertaining to climatology, told us a Carbon Tax would cost the average consumer $40 to $60 a week.

With a Carbon Tax in place, I expect the food bank queues will be at least 10 times as long as they were before, because huge numbers of people will no longer be able to pay all of their household bills, let alone feed their children.

How many more taxes or the people's money can these FOOLS for governments are ALLOWED to Waste?... Living within means dosen't seem a politically correct view nowadays... Geez there is some poorly educated fools/subbies out there... What is the Next "Brainwash/Poorly Educated Generation" going to come up with?... What's True To Life? Na I think NOT. It'll be some other money swindling scheme. To make an employment out of nothing. Instead of addressing the real issue of OVERPOPULATION.

Simon:

Overpopulation is just one of the myths spread by Labor/Greens, who wish to rip us off with a Carbon Tax, and the many and varied other expensive Green Schemes they are constantly striving to "manufacture" instead of any useful product.

Without an ongoing Immigration Program, Australia's population is likely to fall from 23 million to 7 million over the next 40 years, leaving us vulnerable to annihilation and takeover by more heavily populated nations, and without sufficient productivity to run an independent economy.

Even with a Baby Bonus in place, we are only now scraping Zero Population Growth. This means that our Age Pyramid is "top heavy" with middle aged and elderly people, instead of "bottom heavy" with babies and young children.

In case you didn't read it elsewhere, Simon McKeon from The Macquarie Group was recently named Australian of the Year. When I saw him speaking at the National Press Club, he was urging large corporations to donate money to the third world to achieve Millennium Development Goals.

This might be all very well, if it were not for the fact they would be giving some of the proceeds of your superannuation savings away, without your consent [excluding the 20% already stolen (donated?) by banks during the Global Financial Crisis].

People could be forgiven for thinking that most of the largess collected in taxes, fees, fines, charges, tolls and levies are being sent offshore.

Whenever the government privatises our income producing assets and utilities, enormous amounts of money are nearly always being collected by large corporations, very often without the knowledge of the general public.

In Australia, you don't have to put your name on a business unless you are collecting more than 51% of the profits.

Here are just some of the income producing assets and utilities that have been privatised (corporatised), mostly by Labor.

Commonwealth Bank
Telstra
Rail
Ports
Large tracts of farming/grazing land
Water
Electricity
Gas
Aged Care

Soon we may be asking this question: "Is there anything left that the government or individual Australians actually still own?"

It is my belief that Educational Institutions (schools, colleges, universities), hospitals, medical and dental health services will quickly join the Corporate Gravy Train, with even the poorest Australians having to pay for what used to be comparatively "free" public services.

Labor is moving us onto a "user pays" system for everything, which is why Julia Gillard is using names such as:

My School (website)
My University
My Superannuation

It won't be YOUR superannuation for long, will it?

Lorikeet. Aren't we just another mammal?... Respecting Life Seems Hard When Greed Rules Nowadays... The Next GFC? Global Food Crisis. Nature Will Sort Us Out Again. Super? Another Banker's Game. People always Come Second to the Moneychangers. The devil is laughing at his fools. PEACE

Hi Simon.

The Greens think we are "just another mammal".

In July 2011, there will be 9 Greens in the Senate pushing for same-sex marriage. I am told this will lead to them pushing polygamous relationships and bestiality soon after.

A Global Food Crisis will occur if we allow Labor/Greens to implement further elements of the United Nations Agenda 21 plan, signed by Paul Keating in 1992. This will turn extremely large tracts of land over to the bats and the possums.

Labor/Greens will finish off most of the people using starvation.

Labor/Greens support a number of methods of Population Control, including:

1. Homosexual Marriage and Adoption
2. Wholesale Abortion
3. Euthanasia
4. Mass Starvation

You are right in thinking that they are instruments of evil, playing into the hands of the Devil. They support a Pagan religion, and could be the death of us all if we let them.

In Victoria, our potato farmers are being done over by McCains, who import most of their potatoes from China.

At the same time, we have desperate Greenies asking people to contribute $520 a year to their cause, proving that their plans are almost dead in the water. I hope that brings a smile to your face.

With all that has been discussed on this issue I am totally convinced that a carbon tax is not for the Australian people.
I totally stand against it and if Kulia Gillard will not stand down on this issue i will ensure that my vote goes against her as she catagorically stated when she was voted in (sort of) that there would be NO CARBON TAX.
Eva Klein

That's right, Eva.

The general public has been sold a crock of claptrap which, luckily, most middle aged and elderly people have rejected out of hand.

Our household budgets are being constantly flushed down the gurgler with new taxes, fees, tolls, levies and charges to ensure the Climate God sits on a gold plated throne, along with his mates in the corporate banking industry.

In recent weeks, the federal Labor government has thrown a Flood Levy and a Carbon Tax at taxpayers, instead of insisting that insurance companies (banks) due to the right thing by the people who have suffered enormous financial and household losses.

Now a local councillor has advised me that the State Labor government is expected to hold an early election. (I heard the same from the State President of the DLP.) The councillor said Anna Bligh has moved the introduction of a Waste Levy from July 2011 to January 2012, and wants to kiss up to us all again, before unloading even more charges.

From consultation with other politicians, I have gleaned that a state election will be held in Queensland somewhere between June and October 2011, possibly sooner rather than later.

Now Brisbane Lord Mayor, Campbell Newman, has put up his hand to run against State Minister for Sustainability, Kate Jones (Labor MP for Ashgrove).

When I spoke with that woman, she had the audacity to intimate that the taxpayers of Samford were not entitled to any government services (such as a railway station and a high school). Good riddance to bad rubbish!

I expect Campbell Newman will easily lead the LNP to victory. Everyone complains about Anna Bligh, but no matter what happens, the Lord Mayor nearly always comes up smelling like a rose.

Hopefully Kristina Keneally (Labor) will also hit the skids and be derailed at the NSW State election next Saturday, 26 March.

JuLiar is clearly the modern day Robin Hood, this is about social engineering nothing to do with controlling pollution

Oh, yes! And now Anna Bligh is on TV trying to talk up another Labor victory in Queensland.

But the look on her face shows that she has already been pipped at the post, to the point that her lower jaw has almost slipped through the floor boards. Now I'm sure she's about to go home and cry a couple of bucket loads of tears.

While Kate Jones is trying to brazen it out, I feel certain she will be out on her ear in a few short months.

A man is going to replace Campbell Newman as Lord Mayor, without a by-election. Two eligible women have been left on the sidelines, probably because the general public has such a dim view of women after having to put up with both Anna Bligh and Julia Gillard.

Will this bunch of self-indulgent idiots ever get to understand what they are doing to this country? I really despair at what we are leaving to our children and grandchildren. I have greaat difficulty understanding how Gillard and co can be so bloody ignorantV!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We HAVE to stop this madness,JG & her government must be stopped,they are leading the country to be a 3rd world country!!!!!!!!!
Barnaby Joyce thank you for your fight......
Best regards
Eva

It amazes me that politicians think that the general populace is thicker than they are themselves !

A carbon tax will cool the earth ?

What a load of codswobble ! If Australia stopped every pollutant made by this country the world would not cool 1/trillionth of a degree!

Oh dear....the world has cooled and not heated up like they thought !

The 'Greens' want a carbon tax to make everyone think they are doing something for the environment (and take the heat off of Bob Brown's wood fired BBQ)

The 'Independents' want a carbon tax so they can read their names in the paper and pretend to be important.

Labor wants a carbon tax so that the 'Greens' and 'Independents' will support them into driving this once great country into Paul Keating's Banana Republic.

It's laughable (if it wasn't so serious) for anyone to suggest that a carbon tax would be 'absorbed' by industry.

Once upon a time Labor tried to rob the rich to give to the poor.

Now they want to rob the rich the poor and anyone else in between to placate their real masters whoever they happen to be right now !

A carbon tax ? NO...NO...NO...NO...

Can we stop the phrase "CARBON TAX". Carbon is a solid. All the hubhub is about Carbon Dioxide - a colourless gas that exists in the atmosphere at about 3% (Water vapour is 73%).
The Media componds the problem by linking their writen coment to a photograph of power station coolind towers belching out steam/water vapour

What a dummy this Mr. Combet is. Surely even he must realize that a new
born is a comsumer. Would he be prepared to let any new born die because he-she is not classified a comsumer? Even a drop of water, which, at this time is
overflowing of the Muray-Darling Basin. It is painfully noticable that there is an
oversupply of other dummies who gather in the name of Progress, who busy themselves inventing "necessary taxes" with which to do irreprable harm to this,
the best country in the world. Do the really deserve the praise they crave? Nup!!
SHAME ON THEM!!!!!!!!!!!
Labor always gets the country into debt. I have noticed that all my life, and I am 74 now.

Readers and contributors to Barnaby's Blog will be happy to learn that the Anti-Carbon Tax Rally held in King George Square, Brisbane today was quite well attended by most of the minor parties and other interested citizens.

I spoke with a dairy farmer and his wife, both of whom were at their wits' end over attempts by large corporations such as Woolworths to send them into penury.

When we're thinking of Independents, let us not forget that Queensland still has Bob Katter and Rob Messenger going in to bat for all Australians. Oakshotte and Windsor are now their deadliest enemies.

On Monday, Bob Katter cancelled all of his appointments to help the DLP's Senator Elect John Madigan support potato farmers in Ballarat, who are being screwed over by McCains in favour of Chinese imports being sneaked into the country via NZ. I saw footage of the protest on the ABC on Tuesday.

Rob Messenger spoke at today's rally in Brisbane CBD, and discussed some serious flaws in the soothsayings of Professor Tim Flannery, whose opinions are grossly contradictory.

PM should stand for Prime Minister.
However put it behind Bob Browns Name and it stands for PUPPET MASTER.
Behind Julias name it stands for PUPPETEERS MARIONETTE

Any one with half a brain knows that no business will take the increases, nor can it afford to so so, therefore all business will pass the carbon taxes onto their consumers or go under..

CO2 is a fertiliser to our plants we need more CO2 giving us more plant growth, which in turn brings more rain, and the abundant plant growth gives off vital oxygen for the moving life on the earth..

Good gracious, our water is already toooo expensive. When we get a $33 bill it is accompanies with a $150 to $300 bill for administration, how come??? no increases in water, just administration, and they will not answer their phones.

Simon, in my opinion you are so right in so much of what you say...
but just like England and France, we are already being deliberately taken over from within..
Instead of bringing in people of like mind and with the same God, they bring in, on mass people of totally different values and gods so by doing this it causes people to loose their identity and we are then easier to control,it has been done before in history... by bringing them on mass they will hardly integrate, they do not have to and they will of course multiply in their areas.
This is already happening in once democratic countries overseas and their areas will get larger and larger as they multiply, so as it has become to dangerous to live in these areas, where will we go. As they are finding over seas and here in OZ, already there are areas where it is to dangerous for white people to go.. once their numbers become large enough to become a force, how are to know if they have not formed their own armed forces..

We cant keep bringing in immigrants to keep the older people ok, it is time that families took over the responsibility of looking after their parents..

There are different thoughts on our population, some say we have enough others say we can keep going.. but at some time we have to realise that people have children, (and Muslims have ever so many children), so do we keep importing humans until we have to say that no more children can be born as we are full, or do we stop importing now and let those who are here have their families...
If we keep bring in more people to service the older generation, at some time that lot of people will then have to be helped and more will have to be brought in to help those and so on..
Simon, that once proud honour of the Australian of the Year stuff no longer means anything, neither does the Nobel peace prize, I am so surprised and horrified at the people they nominate for these awards.

"Thank you Barnaby."

Keep up the pressure. We must win this fight, the PEOPLE OF AUSTRALIA cannot afford, nor do we need another tax. Carbon or other wise.

Nor do we need a liar to lead this great country of ours.
We can be in "winning mode" for the next election...indeed we MUST be,
or else face a great country on the verge of being "Broke."

On a "lighter note" ...who's oiling the grease nipples on the printing presses
at the Australian Mint? They must be running very hot at the rate we're printing money these days.....only to see Ms Gillard and the Australian Fedreal Labor Government give it out idiscriminately as "OVERSEAS AID."

I was always taught that charity began at home?
Now our Federal Labor Governmentis talking about ways of cutting welfare and income to our elderly, those with a genuine disability not tp mention:
Health, Education, Capital Works [I refer to adequate funding for the rebuilding ]& building?[ of roads, bridges, towns etc in variuos parts of Australia following these recent natural disasters]

WE CAN'T AFFORD TO GIVE UP THIS FIGHT!

Lorikeet. Mate, I'm No Stinkin' Greenie. But Open Your Eyes More To Life... We Aren't That Superior In Our Thinking...

Here we go again - More inflationary policies.
When will they realise that ;

You can make the rules for playing the game - but you have to supply the 'chips' to make it work. More costs=more wages=more inflation.
Failure is already built into such strategies and will result in 'The domino effect'. We are fast approaching the inflationary results of the rest of the world and the cry that this is the lucky country now has a hollow ring to it; simply because of such inflationary encouraging policies.

The application of a Tax on CO2 emissions by the green/labor goverment, has nothing to do with the science of reality, it is purely a way of fleecing the public to pay for ill considered debacles the have made since being in office.
One must consider, dupes such as Garnaut,Combet,Wong and Cameron have no understanding of the science. Why should they be allowed to make decisions on our behalf?

Hi, a local neighbour received a water bill of $10,000 for a vacant block of land, which doesn't even have a meter!! We need to keep everyone informed about the high cost of both water and electricity perpetrated by Premiers Bligh and that fat little red headed bloke......who said deregulation of electricity would deliver lower prices.

Cheers

Gaye:

I suggest you study up on Age Pyramids and Zero Population Growth. Then you will come to realise that without a strong immigration program, our population will fall from 23 million people to something more of the order of 7 million by 2050. This will compromise our ability to defend ourselves from foreign attack, and do us even further economic damage.

We have lots of people in the middle aged and older generations, and comparatively few among the younger people.

Now let me get down to the nitty gritties of why people are being brought here from every nation on earth, even though that might worry us in some respects.

The United Nations, in conjunction with global banks, want to fleece all of the above average and wealthy people all in the same places e.g. throughout the developed world, and then use the proceeds to achieve Millennium Development Goals in the third world (grossly undemocratic).

We are not only being taken over from within, but also from outside of our own country, and the enemies are certainly not ordinary people. The Labor Party has signed over our rights to act as an independent nation to various United Nations bodies.

The UN, for example, now has the primary say over both our trade and immigration programs.

I have tried to explain all of this already.

It is certainly up to the government to more carefully fine tune where migrants come from, to prevent any ugly uprisings from occurring.

The Labor Party have thrown open the flood gates to asylum seekers in order to harness more of the available booty for the UN.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

With a Carbon Tax in place (without participation by third world countries other than via the wealthier migrants), Labor/Greens will have an excellent opportunity to collect cash by the truckload for use by UN "redistribution experts".

Simon, mate, it isn't me who has a problem.
