The submission by The Carbon Sense Coalition, Australia:

The Gillard-Green Coalition and their “independent” allies are in temporary control of the Australian Parliament. They are about to sign a death warrant for their parties and for many of their supporters by voting for the Carbon Tax package. It will take decades for their parties to recover from the electoral venom they have unleashed. Despite enormous opposition from the public, especially those outside the capital cities, and despite a specific election promise that “There will be no carbon tax”, we are about to get a carbon tax mess so complex it takes 19 bills and 1,100 pages to document it.

What do we do?

It is not possible to achieve the government’s planned cuts to the production of carbon dioxide without significant shrinkage of our main industries.

There are only two ways to achieve their unrealistic emission reduction targets.

The destructive but honest way is to allow the shrinking targets and rising taxes to force closures or relocation for our backbone industries.

The dishonest way is to pay billions of dollars to overseas carbon shysters who, in return for our bribes, “promise” to make the reductions on our behalf. This will achieve nothing except pauperisation of Australians.

The tax apologists will claim – ‘but the tax only applies to the top 500 polluters’. Every company hit with the carbon tax must pass it on to all those who use their products. Soon every industry and consumer will feel the costs, even if they do not understand the sneaky mechanism.

People who think the cuts can occur painlessly have not looked at the hard facts of our industries.

It’s not possible to make steel without generating carbon dioxide. No carbon tax can change that.

It’s not possible to make cement or brew beer without generating carbon dioxide.

It’s not possible to generate electricity using brown coal, black coal, diesel or gas without generating carbon dioxide.

It’s is not possible to run a car, truck, train, tractor, ship or plane on oil, gas, diesel or petrol without generating carbon dioxide. Even electric cars, trains and elevators get their energy mainly from coal or gas. As for wind power, 70% of its “capacity” will be delivered by the backup gas facilities, all producing carbon dioxide.

Cattle, sheep, goats and pigs cannot live without generating carbon dioxide. (Even humans must exhale occasionally.)

The Australian government plans to reduce the production of harmless carbon dioxide by 5% (or maybe 25%) by 2050, despite increasing population.

Which industry will be first to cop the carbon chop? They should start by blocking all emissions from Parliament House.

Or is the carbon tax just about grabbing a new source of government revenue?

The Global Warming scare is dead. Both the science and the weather have killed it. All that is left is the hidden agenda to use the “pollution” lie to engineer new taxes and grasp total government control of all aspects of energy production and use. The Carbon Cops are set to ration, rule and tax our brave new world.

The ALP/Greens government is also doomed. No matter what they do, the next election will sweep this government away. The ALP will suffer greatly from their dalliance with the Greens, and the Greens will become inflated as they feed on the decaying ALP carcass. But in their dying frenzy, this government will rush through its main agenda. Their major goal will be to introduce their carbon tax and try to ensure that no future administration can remove it.

Therefore it is likely that in the next few weeks, the government will ram its carbon tax down our throats. That is when stage 2 of the Carbon Wars start in Australia.

The Greens now control the Australian Parliaments – neither the ALP nor the Coalition can pass legislation without support from the Greens and their patsy independents.

For years now the Greens have waged war on our primary industries – mining, grazing, farming, forestry and fishing.

This war reached a climax recently with their unprincipled attacks on two industries – coal and cattle. Bob Brown wants to close all Australian coal mines and coal fired power stations and other greens want to stop all live cattle exports. That infamous economist, Ross Garnaut, seems to think we should eliminate our cattle and sheep and farm kangaroos instead. (Naturally the surplus cattle and sheep will all be euthanized humanely.)

Every war is triggered by one dramatic event and the overnight banning of live cattle exports from Australia to its near neighbour Indonesia was the trigger for action across Northern Australia. The bush is now like an agitated meat-ants’ nest.

Thus the proposal by one NT truckie, Mick Pattel, to organise a Protest convoy to Canberra has escalated into 11 convoys from all parts of Australia.

Already the first convoy is heading south. For up-to-date details of all convoys see: http://justgroundsonline.com/

The Carbon Sense Coalition today claimed that the Australian Government’s $4 million carbon tax manifesto was a litany of lies in a bucketful of bribes.

The Chairman of “Carbon Sense”, Mr Viv Forbes, said that the government advertising was so biased and deceptive that the government should conduct a referendum on the subject.

“If a referendum was held, the “No Carbon Tax” case would soon expose the lies in the current deceptive document.”

“The first lie is to claim that a tax on carbon dioxide will “cut pollution”. It is blatant false advertising to use “pollution” to describe a rare colourless non-toxic natural gas which is generated in the lungs of all animals and feeds all plants by fertilising the oceans and the atmosphere.

“It is another lie to claim that a carbon tax “will protect the economy”. The reverse is true. It will reduce the asset values, share prices, profits, dividends and growth of our biggest companies, destroy jobs and waste community savings on piddling power schemes like wind and solar energy.

“It is another lie to insinuate that a carbon tax will reduce “droughts, heat waves and bushfires”. Where is the evidence?

“Finally, it is electoral bribery to use carbon tax receipts to buy votes from pensioners, retirees, families, tax payers, carers, students and tenants. These bribes can never compensate for the job losses, reduction in retirement nest eggs, and increased living costs for everyone.

“The carbon tax manifesto is a dishonest document full of lies, deceptions and electoral corruption.”

The Carbon Sense Coalition today called on Australia’s elected representatives to insist that the Gillard/Green tax on carbon dioxide should have a Sunset Clause which is triggered by global cooling.

The Chairman of “Carbon Sense”, Mr Viv Forbes, said that when natural climate change makes fools of the global warming alarmists, Australia should not be saddled forever with the world’s biggest carbon dioxide tax.

“This whole tax extravaganza is based on the foolish theory that man’s production of life-sustaining carbon dioxide will cause dangerous global warming and we need a C-Tax to stop it.

“However no one has produced evidence that carbon dioxide has caused any significant warming. What’s more, carbon dioxide production is rising strongly but world temperature has been stable for the last 13 years. Right now sea surface temperatures are falling sharply.

“Climate” is generally defined as an average of 30 years of weather. Therefore the C-Tax should be scrapped immediately the global temperature falls below the 30 year average temperature, indicating the start of global cooling.

“As the sun has gone quiet, and Queensland has just had its coldest autumn for at least 60 years, this looks likely to happen soon.”

ROY MORGAN WEEKLY CONSUMER CONFIDENCE DROPS 2.5PTS TO 108.0 AFTER PM GILLARD ANNOUNCES CARBON TAX DETAILS

In mid July Consumer Confidence was 108.0pts (down 2.5pts in a week) according to the Roy Morgan Consumer Confidence Rating conducted on the weekend after Prime Minister Julia Gillard announced details of the Carbon Tax – July 16/17, 2011. Consumer Confidence is now 15pts lower than a year ago, July 17/18, 2010 (123.0).
