FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Conservationists have applauded federal budget measures designed to reduce the burden of the carbon tax but they say the government is still too generous towards big polluters.
Australian Conservation Foundation chief executive Don Henry welcomed the federal government’s full funding of carbon tax compensation to nine out of 10 Australians.
But the federal government could have gone further by cutting $9.4 billion in taxpayer money given annually to mining companies for diesel fuel rebates, he said.
“In the budget, in essence every Australian taxpayer is paying over $180 per year so mining companies can get cheap diesel fuel,” Mr Henry told reporters in Canberra.
“That just encourages them to pollute.”
Mr Henry urged the government to revisit its position to fund the diesel rebate because it allowed mining companies to put their hands in the pockets of taxpayers.
Funding for climate packages would create jobs through renewable energy projects, he said.
