"It seems pretty clear this tax has very little to do with the environment and is all about a money grab and wealth redistribution."
Seriously. How can the Federal Government, in particular the Greens, statr that the CT is about the environment and then axe a subsidy, along with increasing the price of a lesser 'evil.'
WA had a subsidy scheme to discourage wood burners-gone.
Solar feed in tariff-gone. Well, down to a piddly 7c.
Used to have rebates for water saving products, even gardening products like Wetta Soil-gone.
And the list goes on.
You're correct ZT...actions speaks louder than words.
The above is SOLID proof the Governments have fooled most of the people all of the time.
