Australians Desert the Carbon Tax

Andrew Puhanic, Contributor
Activist Post

It’s official, Australians are now being forced to pay a carbon tax on the emissions they produce. The Clean Energy Legislative Package, passed by the Australian Senate on 8 November 2011 become law on 1 July 2012, sets out how Australia will introduce a carbon price (carbon tax) to reduce Australia’s carbon pollution.

The carbon tax will increase the cost of living for all Australians and, if effective, will only reduce Australia’s total contribution of global emissions by less than 0.05%. In fact, this will take more than 10 years for such savings to be realised.

The price of food, electricity, water, gas, petrol and other essential goods and services will all increase. The increase in the cost of doing business as a result of the carbon tax in Australia will soon make Australia one of the most uncompetitive countries to trade with.

While India, China and the United State of America continue to do business with all of their respective trading partners unhindered by a carbon tax, the Australian Government has done everything in its power to make it as difficult as possible for Australian small business owners to trade internationally and has firmly planted the seeds of economic depression for many years to come.

How Australians Oppose the Carbon Tax

Opposition to the Australian carbon tax started out at 56% after the Australian Federal Government announced the Clean Energy Legislative Package. It has now increased to more than 62 per cent.

In a recent Nielsen poll, support for the carbon tax plunged to a record low of 33 per cent as Australia’s Prime Minister Julia Gillard (Greens Party advocate and supporter of world government) faces the fight of her political life to try to reconcile the public to her deeply unpopular tax.


With one in two Australians believing that they will be worse off because of the carbon tax and with the current global economic uncertainty surrounding the Australian economy, no wonder business confidence in Australia is on the decline.

Will the Australian Carbon Tax Be Reversed?

Speculation is beginning to mount at whether or not the Australian Labor Party can retain government at the next election. A recent news poll in The Australian has revealed that Labor’s primary vote has dwindled to a record low of just 30 per cent compared to the oppositions 46 per cent.

Therefore, if Australia was to repeal this Globalist-backed carbon tax, then it appears that the only way for this to occur would be via a change in Government.

The leader of the opposition in Australia, Tony Abbott, has pledged to repeal the carbon tax. Mr Abbott was recently quoted as saying, “When I say during the campaign there will be no carbon tax under a government I lead, Australians can be 100 per cent certain that I am telling the truth”.

The Fundamental Dilemma Australians Face

It’s a fact that the overwhelming majority of Australians don’t want to pay a carbon tax. However, due to the entrenched obedience to the left-right paradigm that most Australians are trained to believe in, it will be increasingly difficult for Australians to remove the Globalist-backed carbon tax once introduced.

Although the leader of the opposition party has declared that he will revoke the carbon tax once in office, his statements are highly speculative and are not justified by any plan or economic analysis. In fact, the leader of the opposition has not even put forth an alternative plan to the Australian people about how he will revoke the carbon tax.

The sad and unfortunate truth is that it’s more likely than not that Australians will be forced to pay a carbon tax for an indefinite period of time. This is exactly what the Globalists want and the Australian Government has failed all Australians by implementing the carbon tax scheme.

Yes, the NWO's test country doesn't disappoint and proceeds with a tax that no other nation is undertaking for something that probably isn't happening at all.
So sad. I am Australian but I see the writing on the world for my country and have left for more liberal pastures.

What a load of rubbish... The general concensus of opinion in Australia is that the carbon 'tax' is a GOOD idea. What better way is there to make the polluters pay for their mess? I agree about the NWO (dunno about the 'test country' tag) country of Oz being subserviant to the usa (pity help us) Gutless leaders or blackmail by the usa may be the reason... but I'd still rather be here than anywhere else (tho maybe Tahiti would be better)... NO I'm not a liberal nor a labour voter... Who's Andrew Puhanic anyway???

A carbon tax is a massive fraud it only helps to enrich those who have "carbon credits" to sell.

"Man made global warming" has already been thoroughly debunked as a fraud which is what this legislation is founded upon.

If USA has anything to do with this, the people apologize Sinserly....all I can really say is Obama can lick the underside of my ball sack. NWO, can lick my ass crack. The people of the world need to oust the politicians of the world....there a plague to entire human races.

What general consensus and where is the evidence to back up your claim James? The carbon tax is the biggest crock us Aussies have had to endure. Don't be fooled by the lies of the Greens.

What a rubbish comment by John Mason. How does he know most people are in favour of it? My experience is that most people are against it, though overall they're far too uninformed and apatheic to do anything about it.
The govt. is threatening businesses or employees of businesses with fines up to AU$ 1.1 million if they mislead (ie inform) customers that a price increase is due to this tax. Clearly the govt. is afraid of free speech.
And of course John, the only people making money are those opposing it. Big Green(big but not so green if you look closely enough), Big Finance (carbon trading), Big Insurance, Big Government, even sections of Big Oil (expensive plastics used in wind turbines etc) among these US firms-they don't rate a mention. Why is that, Mason John?

James Mason is probably a 'boyfriend of the Queen of Tassie....the just retired Gay Green Senator from Tasmania..Bob Brown. The 30% of Australians who support the carbon tax are the "greens" and the hangers-on who feed off the carbon tax industry and their families. Anyone with an I.Q. level above 20 would not support this criminal tax.

Our local paper in NSW Australia showed photos and comments from 24 people on the front page, 3 for the carbon tax, 21 against. This electorate has voted Labor for the last thirty years or so until last year, so no, James Mason, the consensus is not for the carbon tax, (and the paper is normally far to the left).
Perhaps your job is with the newly renovated Climate Change Department in Canberra, where no doubt you would have total support, as your jobs would depend on it.

I've not had a pay rise in 4 years though cost of living has way increased.

Now the carbon tax and the expected 20% hike in electricity bills alone (apparently making oz's electricity the/one of the highest costing worldwide)
makes it so we're scared to turn on the heat :-(

Oz is only the lucky country for asylum seekers who the govt pay more to per annum than I earn -and I have to pay tax on mine!!!!

I have followed this for a long time. The carbon tax is total bull but its what the NWO (UN) wants and when I realised years ago the green movement went from a honest environmental movement to a bankster run communist 5th column, I was livid. I read about Maurice Strong, who was at that summit recently at Rio, and his little story of the “wizard a baca grande” ( I think thats the spelling). Well he states in his “story” that the western world has to be destroyed for the sake of the planet, while the third world doesn’t (even though the pollution is just a great) because its controlled by the banksters, while in the west we have “some” independent thought, and that is NOT allowed. It is to do with total power, control and thats why they want these super cities and fenced off national parks ie Agenda 21. The world can handle the people, the food is abundant but its restricted by multinational companies and these evil banksters (AND GMO’s which are a abomination) , who continue to pollute and destroy forests, seas and pristine environments but concentrate on “carbon” as the “evil entity”. It is the biggest scam of the 21st century and the “science” does not add up...even James Lovelock admitted there is no dramatic climate change.....but the govts, like the Oz govt, will ring their hands and of course the carbon markets....

Oh dear, oh dear, a lot of aggro above. Forget the debate, forget the pro and con. Its more than simple, its infantile; the tax, any tax will always end up being paid by the people, by the poor people. Corporations never pay tax. NEVER. You will pay, its a tax on you; for what? Did you pollute the planet, did you poison the oceans; you would like a simple life, just get on with it; but first get rid of her and all her kind; it wont be easy, but you must. YOU AINT SEEN NUFFIN YET.

The tax is on the polluters and that money is then distributed to the population, thus offsetting the cost to consumers.
The oppositions alternative is to tax the public and give that money to the polluters as an encouragement to reduce emissions.
So which seems fairer?
The tax is works out as a 0.7% rise in costs. Electricity in NSW alone has risen by 50% in the last 3 years, BEFORE a carbon tax. If a 50% rise in electricity failed to bring the sky down, I fail to see how 0.7% will.

The idea that "climate change has thoroughly been debunked" raises another issue.
Who claims this? Not the scientists. Only the media and mouthpieces of those that stand to lose the most. A denier is a mouthpiece for big oil, coal and intrenched interests.

Get rid of the current government and
start a goverment that is for the people and not for the so called economy ,as they claim.
Elections are a farce, as you can only vote for the people who voted them selves in from the very beginning

Like with other things (global warming, history, etc), the manipulators succeeded - most people now think that carbon dioxide is a pollutant. Is it, James?

Nick of OZ said...

I am a skeptic when it comes to this what started as global warming which they morphed into climate change(to suit their lie). In saying that I am a logical man & if they (the ploliticians) really believed this farce then why on earth are they taking that tax & giving it to people who sit at home to burn more of the fossil fuel? This is a global tax for the NWO for one world government. We are all being herded like sheep to the slaughter not just a fleecing.

The only change is money changes hands.
Its a round robin exercise.
Govt charges polluters
They pass on cost to consumer
Consumers pays extra cost with money the govt gives them to offset tax.
polluter to govt, govt to consumer, consumer to polluter.
Round and round and round it goes.

And the elephant in the room ?

Australias population increase over next 20 years will totally negate any "reductions".

The environment gets nothing from this smoke and mirrors scheme.

They must think we are stupid not to see through the obvious slight of hand

I like this one from Tony Abbott: “When I say during the campaign there will be no carbon tax under a government I lead, Australians can be 100 per cent certain that I am telling the truth”

The fix is in. Abbott knows he can say the above and genuinely mean it. Here's why:

- Gillard and Labour get voted out,
- Abbott and Liberal/Nat coalition is voted in,
- Libs replace Abbott with a pro-carbon tax stooge (like how Gillard replaced Rudd),
- Carbon Tax stays,
- Abbott didn't lie.
- We get screwed over... again.

The government may be able to hide the inflation caused by the carbon tax scam for a few years, however once the trading price of carbon gets floated, the next financial bubble will really take off.

We've seen the dot.com, housing, and derivatives bubbles, however these will be nothing compared to the upcoming carbon bubble.

Fun times ahead - not.

James Mason said... - What a load of garbage! I live in NSW in Australia & we HATE the labor govt & what it is doing to Australia. We are slowly becoming the unlucky country. This is only a wealth distribution tax. This labor came in on a lie in saying that just before the election - There will be no carbon tax under the govt I lead. But then promptly brought one in as it was a hung parliament, but to stay PM, she bent over for the greens & brought one in.

That is what happens when you give up your guns. Its why we do not have one yet.

hey modern woman.. is that the royal "we" or are you speaking for the voices in your head as well.

I come from aus too and you certainly dont speak for me.

i dont think a tax is the best way to go to help the environment.. but its just another tax, its not the first and wont be the last.. and the rich will always find ways to screw the not so.. but all the talk about this being the end of the world, is mainly believed by the lumpen followers of the liberal party.

Prime Minister Julia Gillard is a puppet just like other world leaders pretending to serve the people. The carbon tax is just another way to screw the people into giving more money for these corrupt globalist bankers and all their cohorts, and rich families. She is playing along with the game to keep her political career going. The rich elite who freeload off the people under the guise of all these taxes to keep up their rich and lavish lifestyles don't give a rat's ass about the environment. Environment this and environment that. In the United States, there is a lot of land that is not allowed for living on that is collateral for the U.S. debt under the guise of the Environmental Protection Agency! This carbon tax crap has nothing to do with carbons and emissions. Down the road, they will come up with another tax to screw more money out of the people. Carbon tax does not meant jack crap unless there are signs of evidence that carbon emissions and pollutants are being reduced continually. Income taxes have not reduced the debt in any country, so why would carbon taxes reduce carbons? What I don't get is why they spray chemtrails all over the United States skies, ordered by the government, and have been doing it for years and they want to implement a carbon tax there as well. How stupid do they think the people are???

Gah anyone who mentions chemtrails should be shot... But yes there is a lot of things wrong with the carbon tax.
