Such a great idea that noone needs to review it
Well I was wrong,(see last post)- most independants by this Saturday have come on board to say "great idea".
The idea of a tax is so simple that its appeal to most politicians is completely understandable .
What do the practical ones think of all this? Well they won't get a chance to disagree with faitdecomplee call at 5pm tonight. Powerful symbol of a leader who doesn't lead in that very phone call- "what are you calling me for " i might say if I got one. No time for questions like the myriad that will invade their supercilious space afterwards like
Some BIG questions that won't be answered Sunday
1. "when will we move to a trading scheme" or "you mean you have changed your mind again ?" You mean " we are not moving back to a trading scheme?" For more reasons why ETS's don't work click here.
2. How come we included agriculture when other countries found it too hard? ( 2 main answers are possible - either we are very very clever, or we are moving where angels fear to tread ) We appear to be only going there because Tony wants to and he thinks its a good idea, with hangers on wanting to please the farmers" .the polys have their reasons- but none of them are very deep and none of them relate in context to ecomia
3. If $25 is only a token , haven't we had that before ( fuel excise)
4. How come you say this is a momentous decision when there is no guts to it -aimed at everyon therefore aimed at noone .At least the fuelexcise (and the 4WD rego) targeted the big wasters.
eoption of calling the problem" everything in the whole earth ie climate change")
5 Why are we doing all this when it won't do anything to stop the earth warming? And why did we ever allow you smart arses to rename the problem so you could get always be proved right action ( the mother of all problems - change which means , even if the earth cools YOU are still right and YOU have our money!)
SO MY Conclusion is for tommorow ( 10th July 2011) . It will be day of celebartion for sure BUT a day of dumb and shallow tricks where THEY will be celebrating token efforts - a fine finale for a Sunday and a fanciful finish for a committee of real religious types.
