wiggle waggle all you like shadow.

It is NOT (my emphasis) illegal to claim that price rises are even partially due to the carbon tax.

You lied

BM,

I should have clarified my statement. This was a law put in place to deliberately frighten people from making any claim. The requirement to provide an audit trail to all intents and purposes is not applied to other factors.

You also have lied: Living in a glass house!

"Apart from your comments here, your 'shadow-history' provides ample evidence of your distortions and misrepresentations"

Considering you didn't even look this is a blatant lie.

As you only nit picked one item, I assume that you accept Labor's manipulation of:

The BER inquiry,
The pink Batts inquiry,
The FWA IR inquiry,

Hey ! No he is right.
I have just read it.
Did not find the $1Million fine but did find $6600 fine for a corporation
and $66000 for a listed corporation.
Why the difference for a listed corporation ?

Anyway, it is there.

The up to $1m I heard on TV. I suppose it could be for repeat offenses?

Here it is quoted as up to $1.1m

Bazz, it is NOT illegal to claim price rises (even partially) are due to the carbon tax.

However, it is deceptive and misleading to claim the rise is due (solely or partly) to the carbon tax when they are clearly not.

See the examples given or look up Brumbies/Micheals/Donut King.

SM misrepresented and distorted (or deliberately lied) - plain and simple.

.

SM

ALL governments manipulate, as do ALL oppositions - you obviously can't come to grips with that - preferring to see Abbott and Co with halos and all others as the devil incarnate.

Btw, yes, I read all documents I link to - it would be foolish not to.

It even says this:

"seeking court-imposed penalties of up to $1.1 million for serious breaches of the ACL or injunctions to stop a business from making certain carbon price claims."
