I stand corrected; it's a great / outstanding U-tube video.

The ruling Labor Party’s probable collapse in Australia’s next election is largely the consequence of its qualified success in the last one three years ago. To form the coalition she needed to stay in power, then-Prime Minister Julia Gillard reneged on a promise and agreed to place a carbon tax on major polluters.
On Saturday, the bill for that bargain comes due. Voters have never stopped hating the tax and its effect on their electric bills. Longtime Labor Party supporters—even people who have helped cut pollution by installing solar panels at home—have flocked to the opposition. …
Opposition leader Tony Abbott has declared the election a “referendum on the carbon tax”—a sure sign of confidence that most voters remain staunchly against it, with many believing that companies forced to pay the tax are simply passing the cost onto consumers. …

How stupid are those Australians? It would be like voting for Obama when he said power costs would necessarily rise.
“with many believing that companies forced to pay the tax are simply passing the cost onto consumers”
Companies either pass on the cost of doing business to customers, or they go out of business. That simple fact eludes liberals who believe there are no consequences for anything.
And what, exactly, did they SUPPOSE was going to happen...?
The carbon tax was and is a phony tax, based on a totally erroneous emphasis on carbon dioxide as a pollutant, which is a fiction unsupported by science or practical experience.
The only objective was to create an artificial scarcity of energy. The so-called “green” and “renewable” energy sources are unreliable, insufficient and exorbitantly expensive, in comparison with just about ANY other energy source.
“with many believing that companies forced to pay the tax are simply passing the cost onto consumers.”
Ya think? …
Ummmmm......did you watch the video?
They picked the right name indeed. Real science versus the behemoth of state doctrine.
“with many believing that companies forced to pay the tax are simply passing the cost onto consumers”
Wow! The nerve!
And, of course, the real outrage is that their country has been doing a brisk business recently exporting shiploads of dirty, nasty coal...so that the Chinese have the energy to make Cool Geek Stuff for liberals to buy and to play with.
They charge a tax that makes the price for the customer go up. The the gov. gives the customer compensation for the price increase.
What is accomplished by this money shuffle?
Somebody is putting money in their pocket. Who?
I believe it only took one shooting to get Aussies to give up their firearms to the govt.
yep
Well duh.... where do you think companies get their money to pay their taxes??
Untrue. Australians retain the legal right to own firearms and millions of guns are in private hands in Australia. The effect of the post-Port Arthur gun laws has been seriously misrepresented and exaggerated in the United States. They are nowhere near being good laws, but they are also nowhere near as bad as they are made out to be.
And they didn't come in after one shooting, but after a spate of single gunman spree killings over the course of more than a decade - The Port Arthur massacre of 1996 (35 killed) came after the Hoddle Street (7 killed) and Queen Street (8 killed) mass killings in Melbourne in 1987, the Kimberley massacre (5 killed) of 1987, the Surry Hills (5 killing (5 killed) in 1990, the Strathfield Massacre (7 killed) of 1991, and the Central Coast Massacre (6 killed) of 1992. We had an epidemic of this style of mass murder in the late 1980s and early 1990s - Port Arthur was just the last and the worst. There hasn't been one since.
