Puppets and Pay-offs in Carbonia
Malcolm Turnbull met coal mining chiefs recently. He said later that the miners begged him to negotiate a compromise deal. They want the Liberals to lobby for exemptions from Penny Wong’s Ration-N-Tax Scheme.
The big miners supported the scheme in the belief that exporters would be exempt, and they would get government funds for fantasies like carbon capture and burial. Now they find that the dog they unleashed is menacing them.
Other Liberal leaders have said that big business wants the “certainty” of the Ration-NTax Scheme. There can be no certainty on the amount of damage any Ration-N-Tax Scheme will bring. The only way to get a “certain” outcome is to reject this bill entirely.
Surely no one except Mr Turnbull wants a Clayton’s version of the Ration-N-Tax Scheme, with a huge bureaucracy administering nothing useful to anyone – it must be thrown out.
