I want to get my whinging out of my system while it is still legal and non taxed. :)

Tomorrow I get to see my $1000 go to the flood victims when I visit my accountant, mind you this was after I had already donated money.

What he said

This is exactly what peeves me off about this whole thing. How can anything be achieved when so many are being compensated and in many instances over compensated. Maybe it is designed to get the government out of debt in time or will that be another broken promise. So long as Julia gets...

Lizzie are you trying to create fear amongst the masses with these wild claims:rolleyes:

I have found it! http://www.environmentalgraffiti.com/sciencetech/5-deadliest-effects-of-global-warming/276 This is what will happen if we don't implement the carbon tax right away. If you think we will be out of pocket through the carbon tax, see the link above to see the economic ruin...

Most people would acknowledge climate does change. Maybe you should read up a bit on the Milankovitch cycle where astronomical factors are contributed to earths climate changes.

"I won't let this country surrender in the face of the challenge of climate change," she told the audience. This sounds like we are being invaded by an evil empire from the dark side and unless we act now something very bad will happen. That is how I interpret that quote. Tell me when...

Like saying the world is going to end if we dont act now and tax. Or we will get left behind the rest of the world. No wait that is Julia's scare mongering.

Well said. I have a feeling this carbon tax is being introduced just to try and get us out of the debt which labor got us into. How else was she going to get us back to surplus... not by their run of schemes lately which have all failed miserably such as the insulation debacle, the school...

Well Done. Some common sense. Can't everyone else see this. I think most of the labor supporters can only see their big fat carbon compensation and think, well I am doing a good thing for the environment.

They won't reduce their reliance, they will just charge us more. How much thought could have gone into it. She said no carbon tax, then after a handfull of months it is being rolled out.

Income tax did not get reduced. My tax is exactly the same even with the lifting of the tax free threshold. It is good for income tax evaders who can hide under the 18k and get cash in hand. ( I guarantee under this government the higher tax rates will go up as well. Julia didn't declare at all...

If we do that the government wouldn't have all of this money to squander on poorly managed schemes. I would like to see a flat rate of 30% for all levels of income like in Singapore. No tax free threshold, that gives people an incentive to earn more, get an education to get into a better...

By creating thousands of trees worth of paper work to sort out this carbon tax. Those trees could have absorbed some of the carbon in the first place

I miss why the tax free threshold is excellent considering the next two tax groups have gone up by 4% each.

Who is everyone? Last I heard Japan, China, Russia, USA are not interested?

Has inflation been taken into account?

I believe in climate change. It has never been stationary

Can I ask where you got this information from? I have had a look around and cannot seem to find it. This would explain why I will be tax exempt for the first $18 but still only end up $3 in front. :confused:
