while watching ABC show about cost of carbon pricing i made valid point that if Abbott were to win office, he would not stop this carbon tax.[as sure as the sun comes up in the morning]
effectively,both sides of politics are for it,so what is the point of voting if on main issues we don't have a choice?
You do have a choice peter.
Should an election come up tomorrow, you could vote Labor in which case the carbon tax would go ahead and
you'll get tax cuts and possibly even a rebate from the taxes being charged to polluters
Or you could vote Liberal in which case
you'll get a tax hike and they'll give your money to the polluters
Or you could refuse to vote in which case you should lose the right to complain as far as I'm concerned
*sigh* I'm sure I explained this in an earlier post.
If, on the other hand the current government goes full term then yes, it'll be a done deal and like you, I think nothing will be changed.
Despite Abbott's promises. In which case will he become Toliar?

have sailed the river for 20 years, have not noticed ANY rise in water level,obviously is it happening, just ask the mindless masses like my parents. if you do not see any increase in water level then you are a nutcase/whacko/conspiracy theorist for not believing what the media/corporate scientists/govt pushes as truth.
Y'know it has amazed me for some time how a died in the wool conspiracy theorist such as yourself (and many others here apparently) can bang on endlessly repeating these arguments.
Which are the same as put out by big media organisations. Limitless websites out there from unknown one-man bands who put themselves up as experts. The right leaning political parties. All bang with the same stuff.
All claiming that a bunch of scientists have got it wrong.
Those scientists would be working for (for example) the CSIRO or Macquarie University. They get NOTHING if a carbon tax is introduced. They get NOTHING if their theories are correct (OK, some of them might get more funding - which basically just means they get to keep working instead of being out of work).
Right leaning political parties get power.
Media organisations get advertising from their big end of town mates in the corporate world.
Web site bloggers... who knows!?? They could be anyone!
And YOU conspiracy theorists have swallowed it hook, line and sinker.
I don't think you could spot a conspiracy if it flew down from space in a huge neon pink UFO and stuck an ice-cold probe up your bum!
