Austraila like the rest of us has been taken over by Jews. Carbon tax is a mafia protection racket scheme. Oh, it the lefties, their the bad guys. Get the jews out of power some how and we can go back to human decency.

Yeah, right, it won't be a tax, but a "mechanism."

"Despite turning his back on a carbon tax, the Labor Opposition Leader
continues to back the introduction of a “market based mechanism” for
tackling “carbon pollution”."

That says it all. They won't bury Aussies in taxes. Instead they're going to bury them in increased costs.

Tax and "market based mechanism" sure sound different. But think hard about the source of the money and the final destination in both. Obviously you're the source of money in the tax system, and the gov is the destination. But most people aren't going to wade through the obfuscation of a "market based mechanism". Why those carbon-polluting corporations will deal with that. Nope. Those corporations aren't going to pay out of their profits for something they themselves likely think is BS. Any increased cost goes straight to you. So you are once again the source of the money, and the government running the "market based mechanism" is the collector. There's just a middle man in it now, which may increase costs further.

The Indonesians would make a grab for Oz if you did that. Great to hear the Carbon Tax is going down in flames there. Bet it was very costly.

The only real "carbon pollution" is these tax feeding politicians.

Ha-Ha ~ Not kicking Jackie Chan Chinaman in the testicles while holding onto his tail is easy ~ Just wait till he looks over his shoulder straight into your eyes, then follow the bouncing ball as the saying goes, said bouncing ball likely being one of your own if you get it wrong ~ Kicking the Yank's off their overseas military bases is a wee bit harder, as it's liable to cause that much confusing 'BS' to fly around you'll be temporarily blinded ~
.
Kicking Yank's off overseas military bases is a failed blood sport which has claimed the lives of many a South American president ~ Currently, Japan Korea Vietnam and the Philippines are neck and neck in a 4 way tie for who can't achieve it the most ~ As a hopeful soon-to-be Aussie expat, I'd like future PM 'LIL' Bill Shorten to wait til I've emigrated B4 he tries ~
