EU strongarming Australia on CO2 : Comments

By Alan Moran, published 1/4/2021

The EU has long sought to impose its carbon dioxide abatement policies on the rest of the world. A major setback to this was the Copenhagen climate summit in 2009.

There are 54 countries in our Commonwealth to deal with, plus those in Asia. Up the EU for the rent! I think that the way the EU dictatorship is behaving, more countries will be dropping out of it.

GOOD

We will all be better off for it.

Especially all those LNP deviants we keep hearing about.

Here is an author that exposes madness writ large.

This article is consistent with others published by the author here on OLO.

Politicians are blithely untouched by their market manipulation and the impacting of interference in market forces.

They are blindly leading the country off the edge of a cliff with a real estate bubble that most sensible people are aware of, but not them!

In a further dose of mad consistency, will continue to increase taxes on carbon, to be handed back to those most able to afford the scorch to power bills, by the Sheriff of Nottingham’s daughter, Gladys, with free taxpayer funded solar panels going towards those benefiting from the real estate bubble.

I despair for our future !

Bloody hell what a load of whinging.

The EU doesn't want its local industry under cut by import form countries which haven't instituted a carbon tax.

So it is prepared to impose tariffs to even the playing field. What on earth is wrong with that? All these Brexiteer types who have banged on about sovereign rights don't seem to want the EU to be allowed to exercise just that.

Deep hypocrisy.

Instead of blaming Govt for everything, why not try curbing your excessive use of polluting materials ?
Cutting back on your excesses will clean up the environment !

#..., the AFR this week called for a carbon tax, without recognising that the $7 billion a year that consumers fork out to support renewables in taxes and regulatory requirements already constitutes such a tax. The bureaucracy has never bothered to estimate (or at least to publicise) the tax effect of current measures...#

Are you blind?

The author does well to point out the iniquity of a carbon tax.

And secondly, most posters to this site are not complainers without reason.

We live in a country governed with “corporate “ governance. That in itself quashes the concept of democracy.
