The Abbott Lib government has turned it’s back on AGW and is dismantling any measures taken to reduce CO2 emissions in Australia.
One lib MP said recently ,”Global warming is a big hoax as bad as the Y2K hoax”.
This is the true position of the coalition.
The only action taken is the suspect “Direct Action Plan” which is basically a bribe to the big polluters with taxpayers money to reduce emissions.
They claim that the “Carbon Tax” is a big financial burden on the country and is unnecessary.
In fact figures from the US show that the cost of not taking action is calamitous .
It will cost Australia far more in the long term to not keep the so called carbon tax or it’s replacement with an emissions trading scheme, in the long term. This will of course be passed on to the people of Australia.
The main reason for the coalition for denying AGW is that their corporation benefactors are only interested in maximum profits and anything that reduces them is to be denigrated.

Stop making a fool of yourself Robert.

We shoved that gravy train into a siding & took the wheels off it. No amount of yabber is going to get the wheels back on.

You'll have to come up with a new scam to get another running, & you just might find that a bit hard right now. It is going to be much harder to con the public out of it's hard earned now, than it was before this one.

I suppose the report that the carbon tax had little to no effect on emission reductions would indicate that a price on carbon is not the way to go either?

Dear Robert,

One only has to check with the ABS and "Fact Check,"
on the spin by the Coalition about the so called "Carbon Tax."
To get the real facts. Mr Abbott's insistance that
he has a "Mandate" on getting rid of the "carbon tax."
is also misleading. Mandates are not enforceable legal
concepts. They're political whacking sticks used to advantage
one political position over another.

Plus, there is no legal obligation for any party to support
the policy position of its opponent simply because that
opponent won the power to govern.

Was that mandate or mandrake. Abbott's mandate is to quit putting his foot in his mouth.
The carbon tax is responsible for the downturn in grid power. This has opened a whole new opportunity of renewable power. And never before have so many left the grid to go it alone. Huge battery power is now on the market and people are putting all their generation into the battery.
You do not even have to buy the solar panels they are for rent.
The weather is certainly getting more intense, and you have no idea where it is coming from next.
Abbott says it's crap and he knows all about it.
