I thought both your rants (Bluestorms about how laborites and greenies suffer the most and yours about fear) were both a pretty silly. Anyway, don't worry what I think - I've already had my say on this topic!

Given the response you made to Bluestorm, this is just ridiculous mate.

Except they'll be compensated irrespective of whether they change or not.

If it's easier to stay with an existing provider, and you're being compensated anyway, why go to the hassle of changing? Some people might, but a lot won't. Until it hits people in the hip pocket, I don't think there'll be genuine consumer demand for cleaner and more efficient solutions.

I would rather see the money used more effectively than simply handing it back to joe average. If they were serious about environmental concerns, there would be new tax deductions or rebates available to companies to further encourage clean eneregy development. I can see that this will...

Please don't mistake me for an Abbott supporter!

The Carbon Tax is hysteria for the simple reason that it is waaaaay to complex. If it were a simple and straightforward tax on carbon, I don't think people would be as concerned. But it's been dressed up with income tax changes, welfare changes, exemptions, and who knows what else the...

Not according to the initial polls (which admittedly aren't highly accurate, but probably reasonably representative). And this carbon tax is another example of Labor hysteria, especially after their workchoices hysterics. "All these people" probably refers to the people who voted for these...
