That tax doesn't work. Plain and simple. It didn't work in Europe. I know it first hand. It's not going to work here whatever anybody best intentions are. It's the wrong way to tackle the problem and nobody's denying we have a problem.
Am I the only one getting real tired of all that BS the pollies feed us. From any front I don't care. NSW state budget is 11 billions in the red and it only came to the surface since the last election because they've changed govt so the new one is obviously slashing what the previous one did. But C'mon! Why are pollies allowed to lie to our faces like this. Some one should be in jail over this. This is public money. Who's accountable?
Corruption and spendings are rife every where. One bad decision after another. The only reason we're still going alright is that we entered the GFC with a massive surplus. We've got an excellent life standard because we're loaded. Not many countries in the world have all the natural resources we have. Still not a reason to excuse gross mismanagement of the country's money.
You can' compare us to Germany or other Europeean countries. We're only 20 millions here. Germany has probably 3 times our population in a quarter of the surface, and they had to pay dearly for the merger with East Germany after the Berlin wall fall.
If we need a Carbon Tax then so be it but why aren't we told why, where the money is going to go and what it is going to be used for in plain English, right here right now on the table? Aren't those fair questions?
