Just a bit of clarity in the process otherwise it just disappears and nothing gets done.
Taxing imports or exports at the root will work. Taxing the Australian businesses and people regardless will bleed the country and make very little change globally. I think the thread is going in circles now.  |
It's too late for all that, the advice has been sought, the appropriate souces consulted and the issue debated heavily in Australia for several years now, something needs to be done and done now. The current system that is being worked on is a system in the right direction in my opinion (personally I think it isn't strong enough actually) so I am happy to have it implimented.
The hopeless, clowns, idoits, incompetent etc comments that are gaining traction mean nothing for adressing climate change and while populous, are just childish (fun to say...but childish).
I know first hand how seriously these issues are being taken at goverment level and I commend the Gillard governemnt for forging ahead
