Premier Andrews in Victoria, said he does not support an increase in the GST.

This is what I mean. The Labor states will scupper any change for political purposes.
Stuff the good of the nation.

Labor was vehemently against offshore detention. They only did it half-arsed because they ran out of other options. neither the carbon tax nor Labor's illegal immigrant policy were good for the nation. Both were extremely costly and provided no benefit whatsoever.

stop finding dumb excuses ... even Abbott was on record saying the carbon tax was the best way to deal with reducing emissions

they opposed offshore detention and the carbon tax purely for political gain

Carbon Tax saw huge reduction in CO2 releases. How is spending over a billion dollars for some refugees (when refugees economically have net positive effect on the economy in the long term) good money? Where is your CBA on that? Oh wait doesn't exist, because all economists agree that Refugees are good for the economy in the long run, even your oh so precious IPA.

Australians paid $14b to reduce global emissions by 0.004%. Australia's emissions dropped by a paltry 1.4% - hardly something to be proud of, especially when you look at how much money was spent doing it. So if we want to achieve even a 50% reduction, we only have to fork out around $700bn to do it!

So the answer is direct action where we need to spend more to do less.

All changes still require legislation, which by its nature can ignore the problem. The issue is getting the senate to support the changes.

15% tax on carbon pollution?

The carbon tax and ETS are the brain child of the oligarchy to create a $2 trillion dollar carbon derivatives market to tax the peoples of this Earth on the air they breath.

Rothschilds, Rockerfellas etc are all laughing on their way to the bank.

His son has even published a book on how to survive.

So WTF UP.

A silly argument straight out of CRA Mining's 1989 songbook.

One person on the dole is claiming less than 0.000005% of consolidated revenue each year, so it doesn't matter if they look for work or not, right?

Under DA, we're spending nearly as much for a RISE in emissions because over 75% of the 144 projects funded by this crap corporate welfare policy were pre-existing. DA is ineffective. We're still paying for it: the only difference is a transparent direct cost on polluting companies has been converted into a hidden cost buried within consolidated revenue that everyone else pays for.

Rubbish.

Armchair_Politician wrote on Nov 2^nd, 2015 at 9:34am:

Besides, emissions were already falling before the carbon tax came into effect. So it's true effect is probably even less than this.

Emissions have started RISING as soon as DA came in. DA is a FAILURE.

Looks like you are still deflecting, mind staying on track there ya little ADHA winner.

Where are the massive amount of denero coming from if no a broad based consumption tax?

We have some big bills coming up and unlike that socialist utopia greece we like to pay our bills and at least try to keep the budget in some sort of balance.

It delivers very little in an economic downturn. The major problem faced by the states in the GFC was that their income stream dried up.

One of the main issues with a GST is that when you need it the most it isn't there.
