Liberals alone? no, Labor alone? no Greens and Independents alone? no. “Time passes slowly up here in the mountains”. Huffin ...
Ex old chum I don’t debate Wednesday, July 13, 2011 @ 10:29PMIn reply to The Black Hole In Labor's Carbon Tax : Ex old chum I don’t debate your theory. It clearly makes no difference where we save emissions (and you may recall that one of my main objections to this tax was that it was designed to push emissions offshore so as to “game” the UN statistics). The problem however is that market forces will dictate that taxpayers purchase the lowest cost ...
Normally I am with Wednesday, July 13, 2011 @ 10:29PMIn reply to The Black Hole In Labor's Carbon Tax : Normally I am with Examinator but this time not - I am with you, PR .

Why is this issue about Wednesday, July 13, 2011 @ 10:29PMIn reply to The Black Hole In Labor's Carbon Tax : Why is this issue about liberal and labour here when Cameron’s team in the UK are doing great work (at least it looks that way in this article: http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2011/may/17/uk-halve-carbon-emissi… )?

Ex I struggle to see any of Wednesday, July 13, 2011 @ 10:29PMIn reply to The Black Hole In Labor's Carbon Tax : Ex I struggle to see any of your comments justifying the inclusion of an international crediting system riddled with skewed incentives, cheating and fraud. Skewed incentives in particular are not ideology or dogma. Their existence is a fact and responsible for god knows how many problems currently facing the world. You preach winding back on our ...
PR, Points taken, Abbott has Wednesday, July 13, 2011 @ 10:29PMIn reply to The Black Hole In Labor's Carbon Tax : PR , Points taken, Abbott has had a free ride and rather proves my point i.e. Appealing to fear tops logic and effort every time. One would be hard pushed to argue that Abbott’s “new big tax on everything” campaign was either responsible or logical given that the detail weren’t known. The old axiom ’ the devil is in the detail’ is true. There ...
