Mum, Sally Davis Says Yes to a Carbon Price

[azamatmankini]

Mum and Sally Davis is proof why women should not be allowed to vote in Australia.

[Zhihveli]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

YOU MUST BE A FREAKING IDIOT TO FALL FOR THIS BS.

Than again, most people are.

[The99thOption]

I wasn't laughing tho, I was instead starting to become disillusioned by the frightening number of short sighted, ignorant commenters on here. Your sanity saved me...a beacon of hope among the luddites...

[The99thOption]

@BassPhat Thank you for your comment 'Getting a good laugh out of the conspiracy freaks here. I wonder if they will have the memories and intellectual capabilities to feel embarrassment when the tax comes in, does what it's supposed to without any of the consequences they rabidly whinge about, and then is quietly accepted and embraced by everyone except extremist nutters :)'

[AussiePatriotsParty]

When will you fucking fools wake up ?? How manta

[snbird1960]

We are only having this ludicrous debate in Australia and the USA because politicians there are trying to wedge each other for their own egos, disregarding the national good. Tony Abbott, when asked about the CSIRO supporting climate change responded "they are entitled to their opinion". Does Abbott understand science better than our leading scientists, or is he just an opportunist? Wakeup deniers, you are being sucked in by opportunists and a bunch of conflicted lobbyists for those businesses

[TreborRogerGCam]

Firefly0100 - how much are you and so many conservative party hacks paid to write rubbish on here? LOVE to see the links back to head office!

[TreborRogerGCam]

ReanimatedResidue - The price of electricity will increase exponentially because of the conservatives not investing anything into electricity grid infrastructure - THAT covers almost ALL of the rising prices. NOT solar. Solar has reached parity in cost to coal. Don't U read? Soon green energy will be cheaper than buying normal energy - the market will make the choice. Read and learn.

[TreborRogerGCam]

trelene100 - Dumb blonde? How sexist of you! The irony of asking whether she is a scientist is obviously beyond you! EVERY scientific organisation in the world agrees that climate change is real and something needs to be done about it - nost experts eblieve a price on carbon is essential to do so! Fool....

[TreborRogerGCam]

Chilbury - you have to read, judge the facts from experts asnd then think about the results before you write. You are constrained by the voice of vested interests, conservative politicians and shock jocks - THAT is the antithesis of free thinking. Dismissed.

[ReanimatedResidue]

So they gonna use the tax to invest in tech like Solar - already a well developed tech, then they'll make us pay to buy the tech later. Plus, those big polluters will increase the prices of services/products to recover the cost of this tax on them. And after paying out extra on our already excessive energy bills, we wont be able to afford the new energy efficient product/s theyve developed & sell at high price on the shelf - so I'll be buying the $20 carbon polluting product anyway. Good plan.

[glowie4848]

Our hard earned money paid for Sally to spread this lie, mmm note the wood fire in video???.pfft!!!!...SAY NO TO A CARBON TAX......its a scam!

[Firefly0100]

Wonder how much she was paid to say all this bullshit.

[AussiePatriotsParty]

48 against 26 for ,

Nice work!! Australia has spoken!!

[coocoo2803]

Oh yeh! and how about the wood fire in the background! like who can afford solar, how the gonna put solar in every apartmentment in every apartment block. Get real!

And hows the carbon credit companies act of throwing thousands of ugandans off their land to grow trees for carbon credits to sell to us? Gillard ur a bitch! FUCK OFF! there are other better ways to do this, not this useless scam!

LYING PRICKS! GetUp and the rest of the scumbags are raking in a fortune from gullible fools.

[TheQLDPCS]

'Sally Davis' says: 'we're the sunniest Country in the World'..

10 Sunniest Countries on Earth - Many of the world's sunniest countries are on the African continent, ranging from Kenya, east to Niger and north to Eqypt. Only two countries outside of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula make the list of ten sunniest countries. These are Australia (10th) and the United States, where dry desert areas get lots of sun.

[TheDjinsanewayne]

@TheQLDPCS They cannot get the facts right for the campaign ad so how are the facts right at all.

[trelene100]

@TheDjinsanewayne. The QLDPCS, you are so right. Keep up the good work.

This dumb blond is being paid to say that a carbon tax is a good thing. WHAT WOULD SHE KNOW, is she a scientist of any kind. PLEASE AUSTRALIANS WAKE UP TO THIS BS. Dilard is trying to make fools of you, ARE YOU GOING TO LET HER. Are you going to be like the king who was told that he was wearing the most finest clothing in the world, when all the time he was naked. ARE YOU THAT BIG A FOOLS??????

[Nayshan216]

@trelene100 " is she a scientist" little rich when it is in fact liberals denying climate change. Something climate scientist proved long ago.

[TheQLDPCS]

'Sally Davis' is such a genuis, and likes to save energy so much, that she takes her clothes out of the washing machine to hang out to dry, even before the washing cycle had commenced. Note the - - on the led.

[Wakethefuckup67]

All Heard Sally say was Baaaaaaaa Baaaaaaaaa .... 

[MoreAnonymous]

boo.. get a haircut and a real job. thumbs down.

[TheMarkaldridge]

Not sure about the wood fire in the back ground ;)

[TheDjinsanewayne]

Oh for your information Sally is a GetUp employee :)

[The99thOption]

@TheDjinsanewayne ...no she isn't, check your facts.

[TheDjinsanewayne]

Say Yes Australia is propaganda ran by GetUp which is run by a well known felon George Soros. People need to realize that GetUp claims to be a grassroots movement which it isn't!!! GetUp is a SCAM!!!

[BassPhat]

Getting a good laugh out of the conspiracy freaks here. I wonder if they will have the memories and intellectual capabilities to feel embarrassment when the tax comes in, does what it's supposed to without any of the consequences they rabidly whinge about, and then is quietly accepted and embraced by everyone except extremist nutters :)

[TheDjinsanewayne]

@BassPhat The Say Yes propaganda has created a new breed of tin foil hat people. There is no impending doom upon the environment and the fact about the sea rising is a load of BS to be honest as i live in a seaside town and they are now starting a new seaside housing development so if the sea was rising it wouldn't be safe to be building houses right next to the beach correct?

[LibertyDownUnder]

Say "yes" indicates someone is going to ask us.

Why is everyone who disagrees with labelled a "shock jock"?

[LibertarianChristian]

<3 propaganda.

Learn some Austrian economics people.

[AussiePatriotsParty]

Subscribe to APA and lets stop this bloody Rot!!

[martinjsto]

I totally agree with the statements here, WAKE UP SALLY and Australia, this is just another Government scam, all it takes is a few pretty ladies and a few smiling faces to propagate lies and the Australian people believe them. WTF happened to free independent thought and Australian rights. again it shows the power the government have allowed the Media for an elite few like the Murdoch's to influence the SHEEP. I support the APA and Australian rights come on were are smarter than this

[kitten123456779]

Sally, learn a bit about electricity generation, distribution and learn some real science - electrical engineering before you start spouting this garbage. Also grow up. Alleged "big polluters" have no choice as this is part of the manufacturing and generation process. The "pollution" which is of no harm anyway, is an unavoidable by-product of providing your food, energy and transportation. There is no choice in this. You will pay dearly if you fall for this carbon pollution scam.

[LurchibaldBioshock]

A tax on big business? why yes Sally, It is, and what does big business do you may ask? Well they pass the Tax onto you Sally! :)

[MissyM005]

Don't you just love Propaganda Vidoes! Weak and pathetic

[chilbury]

Talkback radio host Alan Jones has told political group GetUp to "get stuffed" as it pursues a complaint against him with the broadcasting watchdog.

HAHAHAHAHAGO ALLEN

[chilbury]

Sally do you know that the Greens and Labor hate you having Two kids!?? because they say its killing the planet by having children!! wake up sally stop doing ating jobs just for the money have some dignity ..

[chilbury]

Say yes Australia is a Getup"campaign setup to fool the people into buying this Carbon tax scam!! Gillards government is on the verge of oblivion and now they need the help on the Greens and Getup to help but the people of Australia are waking up to the scam!!! i checked our APA policies and and subscribed I urge all you free thinkers to do the same!! SAY NO TO A CARBON TAX.

[MightyMegaPhone]

@chilbury George Soros is funding Getup" and the greens party! if you read the communist manifesto and the Australian Greens Policies they are one in the same!! they want to implement a New world Order" a one world Government, killing all sovereignty .. and sally your a sellout and i feel sorry for the child in the commercial ..

one day he will press charges against you and getup..

[70chaoswalking07]

@chilbury Sigh. You think climate change is a scam created by the 'evil' scientists do you? Please. Wake up to bullshit you breathe in every day when you listen to Alan Jones and watch the Bolt Report.

[vimwebdev]

What a load of BS! This video is the definition of PROPAGANDA!

[TheMarkaldridge]

I sincerly wish people would actually study this issue, the Gillard government is stopping solar rebates for starters, and the price we all pay, amounting to billions, will not be invested here.....10% to the UN and over 60% of what is left, will go to overseas abatement, run by organisations and bankers which have a checkerd past, and we will be paying the highest costs of any nation....keep our money here and use it to support renewable energy, something we have been doing well

[AussiePatriotsParty]

PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO APA!! read our policies for taking back Australia from the Elite bankers and globalist greens..

[AussiePatriotsParty]

APA Believes Climate Change is a natural occurrence with a small percentage of it coming from man! We believe that taxing the population on carbon[Co2 ] is a joke and a system put in place by the Elite to further enslave the population,

APA will abolish any Carbon Tax that has been implemented by past and present Governments.

[haylele]

Tony Abbott is a vile human being - along with Cory Bernardi, Christopher Pyne, Julie Bishop, Andrew Robb, Joe Hockey, Allan Jones and Andrew Bolt - the whole lot of them are a pathetic joke. 2.7 of stimulus had problems within "school halls" so many things we should be proud of!! Better than Liberal input in our children's schools - FLAGPOLES…

Time to stop the negativity and open your eyes everyone - we are doing really well! Apart from the off shore processing.. & Wayne Swan UNSUNG HERO!

[jrhocking]

Only an Election will stop this crap being presented. More of my Tax wasted on Juliar the acting Prime Minister. She is acting isn't she? Pretty poor performance otherwise.

[Mumsplaymoney]

ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING.

The CARBON SCAM will do absolutely NOTHING to help the environment but thousands of Australians will be jobless and be forced to live off social security.

[IKTlover12]

Childfree zone lead me here

[MrSistermaryelephant]

Jesus. Australia....the white trash of the western world

[MrMrZoz]

What difference does it make whether Sally Davis was an actress or not as far as the carbon tax is concerned. I fully suport the Carbon tax together with the tax reform overhaul that comes with it. All the new green jobs that will be created to counterbalance some of the old dirty energy jobs that will go. I must say the Daily Telegraph loves negativity just like Tony Abbott against the government. eg We should be celebrating Wayne Swan's award instead of mocking him.

[dotnetdavis]

@PJRABBITOH: Again, if your figures are correct, we will collectively contribute $91,000,000,000. What that means to humanity, considering that many people will benefit from this spending, can only begin to be estimated by the world's best economists. You, sir, should fucking wake up, to economics, to science, to compound interest for god's sake. It's ignoramuses like you that hold humanity back.

[dotnetdavis]

@PJRABBITOH: 56 million years ago, we experienced what we considered the fastest climate shift known, 5 degrees over a few thousand years. The rate of extinction then was high, but many species survived. We are now experiencing the same rate of change over 10s to 100s of years. Species will not have a chance to adjust. If your figures are correct, we will see a 60% increase in CO2 levels over 10,000 years: unprecedented in earth's history. As you say: fucking wake up. To be continued...

[johnno1943]

And cal1841, did you not get low income? Why dont you send Sally a frontloader if your so concerned about stupid detail. We can all do better than we are currently doing toward reducing our carbon footprint..At least Ms Davis is concerned enough to inspire people and speak out...What are you doing? Oh and please do not ever presume to talk for Bob...

[dotnetdavis]

@ywiabychi: I'd also like to point out how dedicated, brave and committed to ideals Sally is. Not sure if you realise what 'PNG Artistic Director of the National Performing Arts Troupe' involves. Living in very violent and dangerous conditions, in the highlands of PNG, teaching indigenous PNGians how to try and avoid AIDS and communicate effectively through drama. It's so far removed from the airy-fairy job title that I thought it needed some clarification.

[ywiabychi]

@dotnetdavis

True, PNG is a dangerous place (especially the Highlands) - I spent several years there between Hagen, Goroka & Wabag. Unfortunately, lack of space caused the brief resume - Cooper Screen Academy site has the full resume. Cheers,

[dotnetdavis]

@ywiabychi: Wow, she sounds amazing! I'm glad such vibrant, intelligent and motivated people are supporting the carbon tax. With people like Sally, maybe it'll have a chance despite the greedy, reactionary morons opposing it.

@PJRABBITOH: Yes! That's what we keep missing! YOU PAY! I PAY! We all need to pay, to correct the ignorance of our predecessors and compensate for their ills. Your granchildren will be ashamed of you if you don't help us keep their future home habitable.

[ywiabychi]

Sally appeared in theatre shows, short films, TV ads, Neighbours & Blue Heelers. Her Marten Bequest Travelling Fellowship was used for travel to Italy to study the LeCoq method with Giovanni Fusetti & Norman Taylor. She worked in PNG as Artistic Director of the National Performing Arts Troupe & was an artist in residence at Wan Smol Bag Theatre Vanuatu. She worked in NT teaching drama, dance & circus. Her love is clowning. She's been a member of Second Echo Ensemble for 4 yrs.

Why use actors?

[PJRABBITOH]

@ywiabychi

Because real people see though the lies. 20% opinion poll says it all. ELECTION NOW!!!

[TheAgentscarlett]

Good on you Sally! I am about to become a mum, and I think its really important to keep thinking about the future we are creating for our children. I am sick of the negative nit pickers. When it comes to talking about how much it will cost us, surely the cost long term, if we don't do something about climate change, will be far greater. Would you want to leave your children and their children with that burden? I would like to make a difference now, so they don't have to shoulder that.

[PJRABBITOH]

@TheAgentscarlett

I too would like to make a difference too. I have 4 kids, I want a better future. Paying 91 billion in tax and giving 55% of it back to poor people, hundreds of millions a year to the United Nations and the remainder goes where? No detail. And it wont change the temperature, global CO2 levels, it will make no difference. I want to make a difference too, I dont want to pay another pointless tax which makes NO DIFFERENCE!!!!

[cal1841]

If you want to make a difference get rid of that top loader washing machine. Front loaders are far more efficient and better for the environment. And i'm sure Bob Brown wouldn't be happy with you using that log burner.

[PJRABBITOH]

a) You can never "tackle climate change" it will always change.

b) If the "big polluters" pay, they pass it onto YOU!!!! YOU PAY!!!

c) If the Government is going to give you $300 in tax concessions, keep in mind you're prices will go up by more than double that (you're $300 worse off).

d) Big polluters aren't forced to change, if they tax them a million and they put their prices up so they recoup that million, they are Profit neutral (no loss forcing them to change).

It's a CON!
