david25....."She said, under my government there will be no carbon tax". not a big fan of Julia & even less of TAbbott, but in Julias defense she did say that, but was blocked by the greens so her options were limited & opted for a carbon tax as opposed to nothing. If you are talking about lying, I reckon Howard took it to a whole new level, (children overboard, GST Iraq). Anyway thats the way I read it. The carbon tax seems a bit irish to me cos taxing 500 coys will cause them to pass the costs on & consumers are getting cash back, so wheres the incentive for ppl to consume less & go green. Can't see the global warming prob being solved this way. I reckon the govt might need to take a look at carbon miles (kms transported)
