Australian Carbon Price Day of Shame

Shame on Australia.

The farce surrounding the repeal of the Carbon Tax is revealing the decay in the standard of politics and debate in our fair country.

Last time I looked Barnaby Joyce, my lamb roast didn't cost $100. It was only $15 per kilo last week. Better than Lamb Back straps. If this is the level of your understanding then ....!

As Mr Adam Bandt is saying on the radio just now, we won't get our $550 back as the increase in electricity costs has largely been induced by increasing fixed standing charges.

I will be checking my bill in the next year.

So shame on a country, one of the richest in the world, who says we have neither the leadership, the moral authority or the reasoned scientific argument to fairly price Carbon pollution, to everyone who uses and emits.

So we will miss out on the tide of investment and jobs in the new Renewable Economy. It will cost us more.
Just like we did with the Internet and Digital Revolution.
we will unfairly contribute to a word environment problem with our selfishness. Act local, think Global.

A day of shame indeed.


With hopefully electoral backlash to all who participated.
So who is investing in a new air conditioner, this El Nino summer??
