CONFIDENTIAL political polling conducted for the ACTU has confirmed Labor is facing huge swings in a raft of ALP seats, results described by leading union officials as "diabolical" and "disastrous" for Julia Gillard.
And if that is good news for the majority of Australians this next lot of news is a disaster
Labor’s carbon tax goes up by 5 per cent
on 1 July – and is legislated to go up again in 2014.
Under Labor, the carbon tax will also be extended to
diesel fuel for heavy on-road vehicles from 1 July next year. This will
increase transportation costs and flow through to prices.
I can't think of a more insidious tax that goes up EVERY YEAR but the compensation Gillard crowed about is only for year one then we all cop it big time.
All these billions of dollars that will flow in from this tax makes me wonder why we had to up the Medicare levy (another tax) to part pay for the NDIS?? anybody know?

Labor has killed itself
Yup!
But that is old news the start of the long death started with a knife in Krudd's back by the assassins. And then installed the head assassin in the driver's seat.
Now they have to maintain the status quo.
Imagine 3 years of damage but then followed by a decade or two without thuggee 🙂
