Labors Electricity Tax

[Guest]

JULIA Gillard says she is prepared to legislate a carbon price in the next term as part of a bold series of reforms that include school funding, education and health.

In an election-eve interview with The Australian, the Prime Minister revealed she would view victory tomorrow as a mandate for a carbon price, provided the community was ready for this step.

"I don't rule out the possibility of legislating a Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme, a market-based mechanism," she said of the next parliament. "I rule out a carbon tax."

This is the strongest message Ms Gillard has sent about action on carbon pricing

So all campaign Julia Gillard and Wayne Swan have gone around saying we won't legislate an ETS in the next 3 years and now 1 day before the election she spills the beans and says we will be legislating an ETS. Well folks if you think the rises in electricity prices in the last few years have not been good you ain't seen nothing yet. Businesses well be hit with additional running costs such as transportation, storage as such and this will flow right through into the prices on everything.

I guess its the same as abbott saying that he cannot guarantee that some forms of work place relations legislation, left from the howard regime won't be brought back.......

but even with the Mad Abbott in power, the cost of living will increase with his increase to business tax.....

That's not what Abbott said. That's just what labor want you to think he said. He said he could guarantee any industrial relations changes to the current legislation as set out by the government. That's because some of Gillards legislation can't be reversed unfortunately.
