The Carbon Tax.. GONE

[nero_bolt]

The biggest lie in Australian political history (there will be no CARBON TAX etc) will be gone in about 3 weeks and the majority of the Australian public who voted in the Abbott government will be pleased.

This tax crippled Australia and is the highest in the world yet the labor party has learnt ZIP from their massive election loss and still continue to flog this dead horse and support it. 

The job-destroying Carbon Tax is a $9 billion hit on our economy this year alone.

Liberals celebrate as carbon tax repeal passes lower house... The majority of Australians celebrate as well

The most politically costly reform in politics in decades is to end with the Senate preparing to wind up Labor's carbon tax and scrap the automatic move to a market-based trading scheme from next year.

Just before the House adjourned on Thursday, there were jubilant scenes on the floor of the House of Representatives as the Coalition passed the carbon tax repeal bills for the second time.

The final vote went through on the voices after which Environment Minister Greg Hunt was embraced and high-fived by colleagues.

He had earlier successfully moved an amendment to split the Clean Energy Finance Corporation abolition - which will not pass the Senate - from the package of bills.

Labor unsuccessfully moved an amendment to repeal the carbon tax and move straight to an emissions trading scheme.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott was not present to see the repeal go through as he was attending a function out of Canberra.

But on Friday, Mr Abbott said the government was taking nothing for granted on the carbon tax repeal as it had still to pass through the Senate.

You mean like this one?

In 1990 Greg Hunt co-authored a university thesis entitled A Tax to Make the Polluter Pay.

His conclusion:

"Ultimately it is by harnessing the natural economic forces which drive society that the pollution tax offers us an opportunity to exert greater control over our environment."

It is a fact that most of the extra cost on our power bills when the Carbon Tax was introduced was Price Gouging by the Suppliers . Just after it was Axed my Electricity supplier sent me a letter stating that my power bill was about to increase ? . Also my Power bill did not go up $500.00 a year when the tax was introdued . Another thing is i Rent so when the refund comes in it is my understanding i wont get a cent because it is only for the Resident Rate Payer that recieves the refund .

It’s as abundantly clear as the clear and crushing consensus of peer reviewed research by my peers at Lord Murdoch's many fine journals, who have researched the number of climate scientists who are communist sleeper agents and found out it’s all of them.
