Re: Carbon tax
Bit of light reading 4 chook.
Yesterday, at her National Press Club speech, Julia Gillard told the media that she thought they should stop “…writing crap…” about the debate surrounding her decision to introduce a carbon tax.
Her decision to attack Australia’s national media is simply another attempt throw the light off the serious negative consequences that the Labor Green Carbon Tax will have on all Australians – all with no serious reductions in carbon emissions.
It’s no wonder the national media simply won’t believe her. Who would after saying that “… there will be no carbon tax under a government I lead…” just 6 days before the last election?
By introducing a Carbon Tax, Julia Gillard is putting the future economic prosperity of the nation at risk because from now on, all Australian businesses and industries will be facing an extra, higher tax that none of our major competitors face.
Today, in Friday Facts we’ve set out the facts which make it quite clear that by introducing a carbon tax, Australia is acting alone and that by doing so, hurts Australian industries, destroys jobs and drives up prices on just about everything.
The US has no national carbon tax policy. In the United States, all moves towards a national cap-and-trade scheme have been abandoned.
Canada does not have a federal carbon tax. The Conservative Party in Canada recently won an outright majority on an explicit policy of rejecting any unilateral carbon tax or ETS.
Japan does not have a carbon tax. Recently, Japan stated that it would not be introducing a carbon tax.
China’s emissions will grow by 7 billion tonnes from 2005 to 2020, approximately 100 times Australia’s decrease of 70 million tonnes. There is zero chance that either China or India will adopt any form of serious carbon tax.
The Labor Green carbon tax will be 18 times larger in dollar terms than the European scheme to date. The EU scheme has raised just over $1 per person per year compared to our scheme at the Government’s $23 price which will raise almost $400 per person per year! In short, the Australian carbon tax is approximately 400 times more onerous on a per capita basis than the European scheme.
The problem with a carbon tax in Australia which other countries don’t have to face is that this tax puts our industries at a great competitive disadvantage – the steel industry; the motor industry; the aluminium industry; and the coal industry.
This go-it-alone carbon tax will impose a heavy cost on Australian industries that our overseas competitors will not face. Australian jobs will be sent offshore for no environmental gain. It will push up the price of electricity, gas, transport and food.
The Labor Green Carbon Tax will send jobs offshore and hurt Australia’s economy without improving the world’s environment. Say NO to the Labor Green Carbon Tax.
