The Carbon tax is about to hit HARD!!!

[Punderhead]

Unfortunately it is the sad truth. Even some Hospitals are having trouble paying bills now. We are still doing work for them as a hospital without a boiler ain't gunna fly, but we need to survive aswell. I am talking private hospitals here. the ones where they charge you 1000s of dollars.

As I said before. Virtually overnight people are going to find that everything has suddenly gone up and unless something changes (Gillard for 1) in the very near future, we are going to find ourselves paying.

A revolution sounds like a fantastic idea at the moment!

Humans are great at adapting. But we are lazy..... we use the easiest, cheapest method to do something until it runs out then we move to the next thing. We were evolving Thousands of years before we figured out we can burn feul, we will be evolving thousands of years after we finish burning it all. Have a bit of perspective. Oneday we will be forced to find other energy sources anyway.
Bring on the future, SOLAR SOLAR SOLAR

With the way WA bills are going, I have 8 panels on the roof, use less power now than what I was before and my bill increased by 30% WTF????

[Bigrig]

Surely this can't be correct, I was told if I paid my carbon tax that the planet would be saved and every thing would be peachy.

Haha ... and you just follow the yellow brick road to the wizards lair and click your heels three times and everything will be back to normal ...

Power bill last quarter $700. Power bill just received $1300. Just sayin'.

Governments seem to think that the only way to fix a Problem is to place a Tax on it.
They then create another Department within the Public Service together with the appropriate number of Fat Cats to run it.
Wait until the Carbon Trading Scheme starts .

So are you guys saying we WILL be worse off with the carbon tax that would not exist under any government that the PM leads ? Nooooooo!!! It can't be !!!

Lucky they've kept the solar rebates/incentives to help save the environment.... oh wait.

How can one soar like an eagle when they're surrounded by turkeys ?

It was given to the public as a carbon/environmental tax to please the green fanatics, in reality it was a resources tax, to make it cost more to run conventional power and in turn give an incentive to move away from coal and towards nuclear and renewables.

Under that reality, it will possibly be successful, but on a scale of environment, no, it will make little difference, what doesn't get used here, a way will be found to ship it to china or the like where conventional fuel will be burned with little pollution controls.

The cost to individual businesses, etc...that's not Labor's department. They got voted in for environment policies.
