"The point of it, of course, is that there is no point."

Australian Prime Minister Julia “Toast” Gillard has hit on the ingenious idea of clobbering one of the world’s most thriving – and also one of the most carbon-intensive – economies
with a tax on one of its main industrial by-products, CO2, which will punish business, hamstring economic growth, boost unemployment and make life for everyone outside the enviro-rent-seeking professions more difficult and expensive. And all in order to achieve the wonderful goal of ensuring that by 2020 the world’s temperature will be altered with such refinement and subtlety that not even the most sophisticated measuring equipment yet devised is likely to notice the difference. -- Australia counts the cost of environmental lunacy – and plots its sweet revenge – Telegraph Blogs

Your Say

I did my own small part in helping wipe out Labor in New South Wales recently. At the Federal level Labor's numbers are now even worse, all due to this carbon tax idiocy. Gillard is indeed toast, and the taffy twit can ship herself back to (the original) Wales any time she likes.
