Meatworks may shut Queensland plant for three weeks to avoid carbon tax
"A MAJOR meatworks could shut one of its Queensland plants for three weeks to side-step a carbon tax bill expected to cost millions. Teys Australia Meat Group is one of 295 names on a preliminary list of companies to be slugged the $23 a tonne carbon tax from July 1 after its carbon emissions were estimated as being above the threshold of 25,000 tonnes a year."
This is exactly what the Labor and Green government is after. This is the main aim, to close Carbon Dioxide intensive industries. If you draw a line in the sand, industry needs to work out how to get under the line to avoid the tax.
