I have never seen anyone commit suicide. It is not something I have ever aspired to. It is even worse when you realise it is not just some misguided fool, but a whole tribe doing it.

Yes Labor is about to commit suicide, by introducing the carbon dioxide tax into the house next week.

Just who is this delusional fool who thinks she can get away with it?

Does she really think that all will be forgiven, once the deed is done?

Does she really think that you can double coal exports, but by taxing our coal use it will reduce CO2 emissions? Can anyone really be that stupid?

Does she really believe that our CO2 controls the global temperature?

Who are the fools going along with her to oblivion?

Has she decided that she is shot, so vindictively, wants to take us with her?

Is this really just to buy Green support to sleep in the Lodge?

Could it be she, like Rudd before her, hopes to buy a nice UN job with this betrayal of Oz?

How much longer will it take for some sensible Labor members to realise she has become unhinged?

How long will it take for some of them to grow a backbone, & call enough?

Have our Arts Law courses got so bad they give us this stupidity?

So many questions, but what else can you have when the whole pantomime makes no sense at all.

I really frightened that we will see Labor reduced to less than the Greens at the next election. For heavens sake, wake up some of you.

Everybody is alowed their opinion, and it is just that. A clean energy future is what it is all about. A future for the ones coming behind us.
Some just don't beleive the world is changing.

579, I've got this bridge for sale you might like!

some people run the numbers
and the spin is in[the numbers]

we got the oceans warning
but hey japan/isreal/usa/china
has been heating the water with nuke power stations

we have global warming..just like we had been warned
of the hole in the ozone...said it would

but the numbers reveal its also cooling
so we get a new spin word''cli-mate change'
to suck the small change from our pockets..into the pockets of the elites who deflated the value of the coin with excess paper note oprinting

who stole the gold and silver from our coin
who have set a 'market price',..for carbon
HALF of what the juliar is setting it

juliar is propping up the rich
just like labraters at the state levels stole from the state
sold off our assets..[or rented them by 99 year lease]...the issue stinks

but it dont matter that the union stays mute or worse supports this new tax impost [of 'only'750 average]..ON THEIR MEMBERS

who also have been PAYING for the 60% increae
in sevices cost..over the last 5 years
while their slave masters orffer them 2% wage increase

mate the sheeple sleep
they are too tired to think
maybe from working at the 2 de job
to cover their iNCREA$ED costs of living

lol
they are so clever at putting in over 120 new federal rules
plus god alone knows how many NEW state laws
to plunder more taxes

but just wait
i hear the unionists comming out to support THE PARTY...line

lol

Hasbeen,
I agree with you.

If the result is no lowering of CO2 in the atmosphere or an effect on temperatures, why do it?

If there is no benefit to Australia and Australians why handicap ourselves with another tax? It just doesn't make sense when the big emitters of CO2 carry on regardless. There is no evidence that lowering human output of CO2 will affect world temperatures anyway.

The whole rationale is crazy, no wonder many think it only a means for government to grab more money from us and to waste on more useless schemes.

I'm with those that don't think Gillards tax will help the environment at all. It's a new tax base and opportunity to redistribute poverty.

"There is no evidence that lowering human output of CO2 will affect world temperatures anyway." - that may be semantics about evidence. I've got concerns about the way the debate is played but I do think that there is enough informed opinion suggesting that the human contributions to CO2 are a real risk that we can't and should not dismiss those views.
