Here’s a link to Barnaby Joyce’s anti-carbon tax petition
It only takes a few seconds to add your name.
If a carbon tax stopped pollution it would be a great scheme. But it won’t, it will only drive already struggling businesses to the wall, increase unemployment and increase the cost of living…while churning out fat profits for a tiny number of people who have a financial interest in running the scheme. Conservation is a middle-class luxury – reduce the middle class, increase the numbers of Australians just existing in ‘survival mode’ and you reduce the amount of interest and enthusiasm for conservation. And you reduce the amount of money spent on it by governments and the general public.
Lastly, remember the saying, ‘never trust a prophet making a profit’. It would be interesting to see the air travel miles clocked up by all the extremist conservationists…oh that’s right, they purchase offset ‘carbon credits’ every time they fly, so they can appease their conscience and pretend that their flying around the planet doesn’t cause any pollution…
