Dear Bazz,

Naive? Inexperienced?

And you make this assumption about me - based on the links
that I cited because you've failed to understand the
entire concept of what carbon pricing is all about.
Don't you think that you just may have a perception problem?
As for Shadow Minister - Well, he has his agenda. And he
should be left to it.

Mr Wiggles, (Bonmot)

For domestic users, whose charges are already 90% distribution related, the percentage power increase is smaller. I have not yet received my power bill for this quarter, but am privy to our large manufacturing business which buys bulk power with much smaller distribution component, and the increase at one site due to the CT is closer to 35%. (or $300 000 p.m. increase, for which we receive $0 compensation.) As we also compete with imports, at least one of our production sites is threatened.

Most manufacturers, businesses, hospitals etc, are somewhere in between, and none receive compensation. Juliar, Combet the liar, Emmerson the liar, etc, all very distinctly steer away from this.

We are now seeing major mining projects being put on hold. Is this also a fabrication, or Labor's Troika of Carbon Tax, Mining tax, and FWA poor productivity?

So our flim-flam man, Mr Wiggle-Waggles, is privy to his large manufacturing business which buys bulk power, and is trade exposed.

Sounds then it is a 'polluter' and should pay the tax - and should look at ways of reducing it's pollution or find more efficient and effective ways of using energy.

Seems Wiggle-Waggles is out of his depth (no surprise there) and can only come up with chants of "compensate, compensate, compensate".

Thanks for the link, Poirot.

I will probably subscribe, thanks.

Let us not be silenced!
