    I propose we hook them up to methane powered machinery and kill two birds with one stone ... and anyone else that gets a whiff. :D

    Carbon tax

    http://www.thegreenpages.com.au/news/worlds-largest-solar-farm-planned-for-moree/ all planned and paid for "without" a carbon tax. In fact no mention of the carbon tax at all ... I agree this is the right direction, but if it is possible without a tax then please explain why are we having...

    Carbon tax

    I think buzz was talking in terms of perception by the general voting public ... not the legality version.

    Carbon tax

    bugger that then - I'll just sign up for the 4G wireless network that Telstra is bringing out next year. A market in which they forecast 40% of their client base will switch to. Interestingly enough, as part of the contract to buy the Telstra infrastructure for the NBN, the government is...

    Carbon tax

    Which is not to say island flooding etc won't happen ... but mother nature will "do her thing" regardless of our efforts. Wasn't that long ago - historically speaking - that there was a land bridge between Russia and the USA ... also wasn't that long ago that all of inland Australia was a sea...

    damn Stefan - last two times I've tried to kudo you, I've been told I have to spread myself around more! Excellent points from a different view for this thread

    Carbon tax

    I agree, it's not - was just a thought along the lines of human overpopulation causing climate change (apparently) and the continual increase of this population.

    Carbon tax

    Including the last two - I count 10 lies on that list ... the rest we shall wait and see, but there is no evidence of any action taken towards fullfilling the remaining. p.s. regards the Tony bashing. Okay, we get the point. The discussion here is about the carbon tax and current government...

    Carbon tax

    Although the pro-CT ads are well done ... and Julia is promising no jobs will be lost ... the Australian people quite simply do not believe or trust her. She has lied too often about important matters in the past. Bit ironical really - out dollars going to spent on an advertising campaign to...

    Carbon tax

    huh - don't understand what you mean. I got this figure from the Federal Government website on the flood levy. Or did I put to many 0's in again? If so, okay, $1.35bil to replacement and $450mil into alternative studies. AND 35% admin costs by the government! Outreagous and...

    Carbon tax

    Alternative solution? Everyone over $50k a year is currently paying a flood levy for the Queensland floods. Raises around $1.8bil/yr according to government website. If the government would guarantee that 100% of the money would go to green innovations and carbon usage replacement I...

    Carbon tax

    Wow - took the dog for a long walk this morning and chatting with randoms as you do (people I don't know). Even I was surprised at the venom and anger towards the current federal government and the carbon tax scheme.

    Carbon tax

    soooo - why would you post it if it wasn't in "support" of your opinion? As for the "being rude" ... started cutting but there were just too many to repost. Perhaps my opinion of rude is a lower level than others, but being derogatory (imo) is being rude.

    Carbon tax

    ummm - turn around from near $100bil in the black to $100+bil in the red ... and yet to see any new infrastructure or increased health/education spending (asides from some school building that came in at 60% more expensive than the same buildings built for private schools). So, no...
