It’s official, Australians are now being forced to pay a carbon tax on the emission they produce. The Clean Energy Legislative Package,
passed by the Australian Senate on 8 November 2011 become law on 1 July
2012, sets out how Australia will introduce a carbon price (carbon tax)
to reduce Australia’s carbon pollution.
The Carbon Tax will increase the cost of living for all Australians, and if effective, will only reduce Australia’s total contribution of global emissions by less than 0.05%. In fact, this will take more than 10 years for this saving to be realised.
The
price of food, electricity, water, gas, petrol and other essential goods
and services will all increase. The increase in the cost of doing
business as a result of the Carbon Tax in Australia will soon make
Australia one of the most uncompetitive countries to trade with.
While
India, China and the United State of America continue to do business
with all of their respective trading partners unhindered by a Carbon
Tax, the Australian Government has done everything in its power
to make it as difficult as possible for Australian small business owners
to trade internationally and has firmly planted the seeds of economic depression for many years to come.
How Australians Oppose the Carbon Tax
Opposition
to the Australian Carbon Tax started out at 56% after the Australian
Federal Government announced the Clean Energy Legislative Package. It has now increased to more than 62 per cent.
In a recent Nielsen poll, support for the Carbon Tax plunged to a record low of 33 per cent as Australia’s Prime Minister Julia Gillard (Greens Party advocate and supporter of world government) faces the fight of her political life to try to reconcile the public to her deeply unpopular tax.
With one
in two Australians believing that they will be worse off because of the
Carbon Tax and with the current global economic uncertainty surrounding
the Australian economy, no wonder business confidence in Australia is on the decline.
Will the Australian Carbon Tax Be Reversed?
Speculation
is beginning to mount at whether or not the Australian Labor Party can
retain government at the next election. A recent news poll in The Australian has revealed that Labor’s primary vote has dwindled to a record low of just 30 per cent compared to the oppositions 46 per cent.
Therefore,
if Australia was to repeal this Globalist backed carbon tax, then it
appears that the only way for this to occur would be via a change in
Government.
The leader of the opposition in Australia, Tony Abbott, has pledged to repeal the carbon tax.
Mr Abbott was recently quoted as saying “When I say during the campaign
there will be no carbon tax under a government I lead, Australians can
be 100 per cent certain that I am telling the truth”.
The Fundamental Dilemma Australians Face
It’s a fact that the overwhelming majority of Australians don’t want to pay a carbon tax.
However, due to the entrenched obedience to the left-right paradigm
that most Australians are trained to believe in, it will be increasingly
difficult for Australians to remove the globalist backed carbon tax
once introduced.
Although
the leader of the opposition party has declared that he will revoke the
carbon tax once in office, his statements are highly speculative and
are not justified by any plan or economic analysis. In fact, the leader
of the opposition has not even put forth an alternative plan to the
Australian people about how he will revoke the Carbon Tax.
The sad
and unfortunate truth is that it’s more likely than not that Australians
will be forced to pay a Carbon Tax for an indefinite period of time.
This is exactly what the Globalists want and the Australian Government
has failed all Australians by implementing the Carbon Tax.
