Bravo Juliar: Carbon tax to cost farmers billions
Jun 28^th, 2012 at 1:13am

AUSTRALIA'S farmers will be hit with a massive $3.2 billion jump in annual costs when the carbon tax takes effect next week, slashing industry profitability.

A study released yesterday by business analysts IBIS World forecast the new carbon tax imposts would push down revenue for the agricultural sector next year by 6.4 per cent, from $54 billion to $50.5 billion in 2012-13.

And ignorant inner-city Greens voters wonder why people in rural areas dont vote for the Greens....

If the farmers got through that they will easily be able to get through a revenue neutral tax that all of them get tax breaks on anyway.

I'm pretty sure they are potentially big winners in all this.

You think that unleaded fuel that fluctuates between $1.25 and $1.60 a litre and deisel that is usually 5c-10c dearer is "low"??? You clearly do not live in the real world.

Except that farmers get their diesel excise-free, making it about 90c/litre.
