    Kudos to Tony Abbott .
    “Despite a carbon tax of $37 a ton by 2020, Australia's domestic emissions were going up, not down. The carbon tax was basically socialism masquerading as environmentalism, and that's why it's going to get abolished.”

    “If the Labor Party wants to give the people of Australia a Christmas present, they will vote to abolish the carbon tax. It was damaging the economy without helping the environment. It was a stupid tax. A misconceived tax,”

    Yes Tom a much needed change to a misguided policy. Mr Gore was down here wanting to gore our economy some more by talking about trading schemes and prices on carbon. These things only benefit our competitors without helping the environment.
    Just this week in my own region two plants owned by multinationals announced plans to close citing two things, high costs and the high Australian dollar which has made them uncompetitive. Now we know who we have to thank for that. The beggar your neighbours policies of the US and Europe
