Carbon Tax To End Millions Of Years Of Droughts And Floods In Australia

Carbon Tax To End Millions Of Years Of Droughts And Floods In Australia

Yeah, right.  Celebrated Sydney restauranteur and so-called "1 Million Women" ambassador, Christine Manfield had this to say:

“I’m not agreeing with Julia Gillard on that one, I think it’s a really wimpy way out,” Manfield told The Australian.

“It’s just another f . . king tax—it doesn’t solve anything.”

We tend to agree with you, Christine!

CURRENT COOLING PHASE PREDICTED BACK IN 1979

The real science speaks for itself.  Follow this link to see an article published back when climate science was done for science sake - 1979 when scientists predicted in detail the cooling phase which has begun after the natural cycle of warming since the last mini ice age. Lest we forget.

GUEST LABOUR WOULD SOLVE HUMANITARIAN PROBLEM

Jobs (instead of foreign aid to corrupt regimes) for our Asian neighbours, in work that Australians don't want, and the Asia-Pacific desperately needs. 

AUSTRALIA'S richest woman, Gina Rinehart, has called for a radical overhaul of immigration laws to allow thousands of unskilled "guest workers" to be imported from Asia to help build mines in the country's north.

"Just think where Australia could be if we welcomed guest labour, even if limited to remote or hot areas, or to unskilled and semi-skilled positions.

"We should, on humanitarian grounds, give more of these people the opportunity of guest labour work in Australia, so that they can feed and clothe their families and pay for medical and other pressing needs."

Could this be the humanitarian solution that the most vocal of the left has been looking for? 

BROWN BOASTS OF CONTROL OVER GOVT AGENDA

Bob Brown just admitted what we have been saying all along: That it is the Greens who control the Government, and there is no way in hell they would allow an election when they've got it as good as this:

But the Greens leader was also forced to defend reports he was disappointed his [b]power sharing arrangement with Labor was not delivering greater rewards for his party.

[b]“No, I don't feel that is the case,”[/b] Senator Brown said.

The Greens leader said the debate over a [b]carbon pricing[/b] regime [b]was only featuring on the national agenda because of the influence of his party[/b].

“There would be no carbon pricing debate in Australia. [b]Both the big parties went to the election saying they would put it off.

So Bob Brown and I finally agree on something - the solitary Green tail (Bandt) is wagging the 72 ALP dogs.

Tasmanian Labor/Greens (former Young Liberal) independent, Andrew Wilkie, can't help but throw his 2 bob in on how democracy works.

Frankly politicians would be treating the Australian electorate with contempt if they were to discard the August 2010 election result because they thought they knew better than the voters.

Forgive me if I’m wrong, but I seem to remember the voters choosing LNP, 73 seats to 72 for the ALP. Wilkie and the Greens/”Independents” [i]chose Gillard[/i]. The voters didn't get a say in this "government" - just the way, apparently, Wilkie likes it right now.

MINING MAGNATE SLAMS CARBON TAX & BUSINESS LEADERS

Australia's (first ever) richest woman, mining magnate Gina Rinehart slams the Gillard/Greens Government's Carbon Dioxide tax, and wonders where the rest of the business leaders have disappeared to on this.

If imposed at a rate of $26 per tonne the carbon tax will cost:

• 126,000 jobs in regional Australia (according to Access Economics);

• 10,000 jobs and 16 coal mines (according to ACIL economic consultancy);

• 24,000 jobs in other areas of mining (according to Concept Economics); and

• 45,000 jobs in other energy-intensive industries (according to Frontier Economics).

And that is just for starters.

And what for? It won’t stop China and India from continuing to emit carbon dioxide on their own account.  These nations understand that you cannot raise a population’s standard of living without also increasing energy consumption....

...We can’t wait any longer for Australia’s business ‘leaders’ to finally stand up on this issue! If we don’t stand up, we run the great risk of seeing the consequences of  such non-action in Australia, and I sincerely hope we don’t.  

We all have to do our part to ensure this farce is dead and buried.  We don't bridge the divide between the prosperous and their counterparts, by knocking those who work hard and achieve down to the level of the others.  We should be lifting the rest of Australia up to achieve the level greater levels of prosperity experienced by other sectors.

From all the rhetoric, you'd think that this was the first time we've had a so-called two-speed economy, and that it is a bad thing. If the Government spent responsibly, they could have used the resources boom to contribute to the Future Fund set up and presided over by former Treasure Peter Costello AC.  Instead, we go from zero national debt and $22 billion surplus inherited by the Labor Government after the exit of Prime Minister John Howard's in 2007, to a forecast debt of $250 billion in the current treasurers' latest attempt to raise the borrowing limit to such an historical and reckless amount.

Contrary to the Labor spin, the true "recker" does not take the form of the leader of the opposition, but is this inept Government in their devastating handling of our economy.

OVERLAND MUST GO

YAF has sent an open letter to Victorian Deputy Premier and Minister for Police, Peter Ryan regarding corruption allegations which have surfaced of Commissioner Simon Overland, and the latest farce of Overland dismissing his most honourable deputy (and best candidate for Commissioner in our opinion), Sir Ken Jones, last night.

Sir Ken was abruptly called in to Mr Overland's office yesterday afternoon and ordered to clear his desk and leave immediately. His removal came hours after The Saturday Age had submitted detailed questions to the office of the Attorney-General, the Department of Justice and the police about the circumstances of the slaying of Williams.

Sir Ken could not be contacted for a response last night.

A police spokesman said: ''The Chief Commissioner has asked Sir Ken Jones to finish at the end of today because it is right for him and Victoria Police.''

Sir Ken will now remain on leave until his resignation takes effect on August 5. Mr Overland has cancelled his own planned leave.

Police Association secretary Greg Davies last night slammed Mr Overland's handling of the crisis. ''I think Simon Overland is the Chief Commissioner in name only from this day on,'' Senior Sergeant Davies said.

Although the online form to Contact Peter Ryan is limited in number of characters you can send, you can make your complaint via this link or write in to the details on that same page, and let the Government know that we won't cop the politicisation of the police force, or police corruption, in any shape or form.

YAF addresses tackling police corruption in its official Statement of Purpose but it starts with you, and it starts now!  Don't delay.

**************** Summary of web form submission:

Comments/Enquiries The Honourable Mr Ryan MLA, Deputy Premier It is with concern that we write concerning the state in which Victoria Police finds itself this day. The alleged conduct of Commissioner Simon Overland with respect to the release of crime statistics to favour the outgoing Labor government, in addition to his long list of failures & M.I.A.s was unacceptable, but to learn that he has now ordered the immediate dismissal of Sir Ken Jones is a step too far, even for Mr Overland. Without going into details of which you're all too well aware, we seek the immediate suspension or dismissal of Mr Overland, and reinstatement of Sir Ken Jones as acting Police Commissioner or Police Commissioner until the Ombudsman completes his investigations into Mr Overland's alleged conduct. Our organisation, Young Australia's Foundation, strongly opposes corruption at all levels. The people have lost faith in our police & are quickly losing faith in our Government. We urge immediate & swift action in remedying this farce. YAF.com.au

WHY YOU CAN HANDLE IT - OSAMA RAID PICS

WARNING - GRAPHIC PICS OF COURIERS WHO DIED WITH OSAMA BIN LADEN BELOW. DO NOT SCROLL DOWN IF IMAGES OF DEAD TERRORISTS DISTURBS YOU!

***************************

Despite the Obama administration (once again) treating us like 1. We can't handle the truth; and 2. "Just trust us!"

Jay Carney, White House Press Secretary from earlier today:

"There is no need to release these photographs..."

I have a theory which I derive from the recent birth certificate release, which took Obama 3 years to produce after telling us we didn't need to see it either. The theory is this:

- Just as the release of the birth certificate and the news of Osama's death distracted from the dismal performance of the Obama Presidency, and has even led to a spike in his popularity, in like manner keeping the photos up his sleeve gives Obama another chance to "distract" us from the disaster that is his economic management. Look out for the release, like with the birth certificate, during this 2012 reelection campaign... Like next week, say, when the debt ceiling (14+ trillion USD) needs to be raised!

CARBON PRICE MUST UP HOT WATER BY $17000

I couldn't help but notice that the amazing solar super special *in a sarcastic voice* which was faxed to our offices is an indication that the Gillard/Greens Carbon (Dioxide) Tax must necessarily increase the price of electricity and natural gas, and therefore hot water, by some $17,000 in order to make the only alternative - solar - cheaper and entice you to switch over.

Given that we don't have any alternatives for base load power, we can't just switch power sources when the sun doesn't shine or the wind doesn't blow... so what the Gillard Govt fails to tell you when it explains how "price impacts" will form incentives, is that if there is no alternative, you either pay the money, or go without!  Me thinks the latter will be where we end up.  Gone will be the days of hot showers, heating, cooling... jobs! We will necessarily have to revert to dark age living (and the ailments, diseases and shorter life expectancies that come with it), and for what?

A decrease in CO2 emissions by 5% (Labor's proposed reduction) of 1.5% (Austraila's total contribution to CO2 levels) of 0.8 ppm (the amount of CO2 thought to be in the atmosphere as a result of man's activities)!  For those of you whose calculators can't compute figures this small, even if the climate modelling is correct (bahahahahhahaha!), that is an approximate reduction of 0.0006 parts per million of atmospheric CO2.  Convert this to an amount in degrees, and it is practically negligible, at best... and will take 1000 years minimum to achieve, according to Labor mouthpiece and Climate Commissioner (and neo pagan of the year) Tim Flannary.


If you enjoy paying $18000 for your hot water system, not including supplemental energy at Carbon Tax prices when the sun don't shine, then by all means.  Just keep in mind that when this new "innovation" Gillard keeps promising eventually comes, you'll have to rip out the old inefficient panels for new and better ones, and pay China (who manufactures the panels using Australian coal to generate power) all over again.
