Re: Carbon tax

What on earth are you talking about?

Correct me if I am wrong, but the poll suggests that most of the population do not understand the carbon tax? Yes? So, 2 conclusions can be drawn from that:

Re: Carbon tax

There was an interesting program recently, which showed that 100,000 years ago the Sahara dessert was not indeed a dessert, then 20,000 years later, it started reverting back to dessert. There was a...

Re: Carbon tax

Pine trees take 25 years to reach maturity, and once that growing stage is finished they use less co2, obviously. This is why in sustainable forests the Trees are cut down after 25 years, which...

Re: Carbon tax

I will repeat - The Sinclair C5 was an unmitigated disaster - slow / dangerous / badly designed - take your pick. The fact that it is worth more now is because they are rare, not because they were...

Re: Carbon tax

I will curtail my cap doffing - in your situation, it would have been so tempting to keep quiet!

It is simply a matter of proportional response and value for money. Tony Abbot actually had a...

Re: Carbon tax

alistairboyle - that is a fantastic post. It will be interesting to see how the pro-lobby will respond - but they may just pretend it didn't happen, or nit-pick away at it, or discredit it somehow....

Re: Carbon tax

If it makes a difference - I don't necessarily believe either of the parties' scare mongering with their mystical apocalyptic outcomes.

In the green crystal ball, we have world annihilation due to...

Re: Carbon tax

Excuse me? The rest of your post consisted of you predicting what was going to happen in the future. Are you a mystic as well as having a much higher intelligence?

Re: Carbon tax

And the polls? Would that suggest a mandate for either the Government, The Greens or the Carbon Tax?

Re: Carbon tax

The Greens did not get the mandate from the people - they acquired it by default. 10% of the vote does not give you a mandate. If Labour had a clear majority, the Greens would not even get a look in.

Re: Carbon tax

I thought they only had 5 members? I thought they polled only 10% of the vote?

Re: Carbon tax

Gillard was asked if it was ok to lie to the populace (in regard her pre-election promise that the Carbon Tax would not happen)

Her reply was - 'If circumstances change'

The next question...

Re: Carbon tax

The whole emissions thing really confuses me. Apparently, the hole in the ozone over NZ / OZ may be caused by the amount of cattle and sheep farting. Apparently, recent Volcano activity has negated...
