CO2 Taxation Australia

Thanks for the vote of confidence, lacey.

Working today till around lunch time at least... so yes I have seen all that stuff. Glorious sunshine outside and I'm stuck indoors. But nifty retort? Nah! Like I tried to point out once before, it's like groundhog day around here. Everyone just keep coming up with the same arguments. On both sides! We can all cut 'n' paste till we're old and tired. Doesn't prove much.

All that's left to do is to troll FlySurfer occasionally.

OK... blame lacey...

dinsdale, WSJ is a closed site and I'm not about to stump up cash to go check it out, especially not to Murdoch. But you do realise that WSJ is owned by News Corp?? And that article looks like it was lifted straight out of the Australian??? It's an opinion piece that reports a little of what's been going on and then parrots all the same arguments as Murdochs other papers.

Same bull, just a different title at the top of the page. So it proves... what?

I mean... really, just look at this rubbish...

Triple the income tax free threshold. Tick. Correct on that one.



How does increasing the tax-free threshold which reduces tax for all income earners benefit just Labor voters? Hmm? Anyone??


No it doesn't. In fact it widens the tax base by reducing the dependancy on income tax and instead gathering that money from elsewhere (ie the CO2 emitters).

Honestly, if this was really published as an article in WSJ then you'd just have to shake your head and wonder. How did one of the world's most respected newspapers sink so quickly to the level of being toilet paper?

Work is done and sun is shining! I'll leave you to your yoochoob existence FlySpot.

Trouble is they are not melting. They are getting bigger.

Great! Seems voting on it will fix the problem. Let's all vote for bigger ice caps. That'll fix it!

Laurie.. how do we create a poll on here??

1. I want to help mankind live a better life by giving the planet bigger ice caps
2. I want to help mankind live a better life by giving all women bigger boobs

Tough choice, eh?

The Polar ice caps may be expanding or contracting depending on who's agenda (science???) you listen to. Having surfed the same spots for 30-35 years though, one thing I can say for certain - the sea levels have not risen at all, despite the earth's climate heating or cooling (depending on who you listen to).
Green Socialism is the new Fundamentalism

If the ice caps melt may be the farmers can use more water

We pay for a Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency.
No issue with Energy Efficiency, but it should change it's name to Department of climate change propaganda to better reflect its role.

Advisors to that department is an "independent" climate commission.

This post isn't for or against the Tax... just saying.

Nice photo, FoolSurfer but you should try to learn how to drink out of a bottle! Here give it to me, I'll show you how it's done.

Hey, you know the rule... what happens on the weekend stays on the weekend.
