Liberals' plan to dismantle carbon laws

[nero_bolt]

Excellent, the sooner the better

The Coalition's Plan to Abolish the Carbon Tax.

• As soon as an election is called, the Coalition will take immediate and concrete steps to repeal the Carbon Tax.

• Repealing the Carbon Tax will ease cost of living pressures on families, help small business and restore confidence to the economy.

• On the day the election is called, I will write to the Secretary of the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet to make it clear that, if elected, the first priority of a Coalition Government will be the repeal of the Carbon Tax.

• Within the spirit of the Caretaker conventions, I will also formally request the Clean Energy Finance Corporation to desist from making any further determinations in relation to grants, funds or financing.

• If elected, the Coalition will take immediate steps to implement our plan to abolish the Carbon Tax.

• On day one, I will instruct the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet to draft legislation that repeals the Carbon Tax and to have the legislation ready within one month.

• On day one, the Finance Minister will notify the Clean Energy Finance Corporation that it should suspend its operations and instruct the Department of Finance to prepare legislation to permanently shut-down the Corporation.

• On day one, the Environment Minister will instruct the Department to commence the implementation of the Coalition’s Direct Action Plan on climate change and carbon emissions.

• Within the first month, the Cabinet will approve legislation to repeal the Carbon Tax.

• On the first sitting day of Parliament under a Coalition Government, I will introduce legislation to repeal the Carbon Tax.

• The first piece of legislation to be debated in the Parliament will be the repeal of the Carbon Tax.

• As soon as the Carbon Tax is repealed, the Environment Minister will introduce legislation to enact the Coalition’s Direct Action Plan on climate change and carbon emissions.

• Within the first sitting fortnight of Parliament, the Finance Minister will introduce legislation to shut-down the Clean Energy Finance Corporation.

I expect that the Parliament will respect the mandate of the people and repeal the Carbon Tax.

To oppose the mandate of a government elected on a platform of abolishing the Carbon Tax would be as reprehensible as the Gillard Government’s action to introduce a Carbon Tax without a mandate from the people.

• If Labor and the Greens combine to block the express will of the Australian people, a Coalition Government would seek dissolution of both Houses of Parliament.

We would then introduce the legislation to abolish the Carbon Tax at a subsequent Joint Sitting of the Parliament.

Unlike the Prime Minister, I mean what I say:

there will be no Carbon Tax under a government I lead.

Carbon tax has slowed the economy, has increased prices, Australian investment decreased and caused a high level of stress on everyone. Bring on September 14 we need to get rid of this government!

I'm excited. 😄 A responsible government & some real plans, no more "announceables" with no warning. Just a solid plan to repair the Labor damage. Can't wait 😄

Looking like Labor will lose SA now, they have run the place into the ground with over a billion dollars debt.

Every state Labor ran is in debt now & the Conservatives are left to clean up their mess.

Just asking, but why do you feel compelled to spam these inane cartoons on every Conservative post?

[izabsmiling]

Cue, If lightning would prefer you could pop over to the fun and games board and ask Peela and the devils down under for a tag to add here instead ?

OK to spam conservative threads but wait for the screams & crying when a conservative has the hide to post anything on here. The usual suspects rush in to spam carp & trite snipe tripe.

So tiring, I can't wait until Sept & then there will be no more need to publish the catastrophe's of this failed Labor Gov. any longer.

It will be fun though, to see them start eating their own & never to see the likes of Cameron, Conroy, Swan et al any more. Just a shame the great verballer Plibersek looks like hanging onto her seat, we'll see  how long she likes sticking around in opposition.

I wonder what GIllard will do?? interesting times ahead, what ho 😛

some may want op to take some concrete steps, and leap off the nearest bridge, while hangin' on to 'em.

OP, I think the cartoons are a reminder not to take oneself too seriously IYKWIM

I am a conservative and also a "woman of calibre", I won't bother with the usual Gillard bashing because it is becoming boring and repetitive.

I think she will retire on her huge pension of $177,520 per year which makes her amongst the "fabulously wealthy" with an effective lump sum payment of $5.3m.

I thought labor party people were sympathetic to the poorer and "working class "in the community and try to make people think they are working in the best interests of working class people, RUBBISH  they are only interested in their own jobs and wealth.

At least coalition members don't try to play down their wealth and ability to make money and run a successful business. Wake up Australia.
