  • Lies Lies Lies!!!

  • both products will get more expensiv and not just a little but by leaps and bounds...

  • @AnotherMontageVideo Sydney Catchment Authority, Snowy Hydro Ltd., Hydro Tasmania, CSIRO, Monash University, The Weather Modification Association & The Victorian Government Department of Sustainability & Environment are all guilty of being involved in weather engineering programs e.g. Directed Energy, ELF & microwave mind control weapons that are also used to heat the ionosphere, chemtrails/cloud seeding etc. These are the main man made causes of "climate change". WE WANT COMPENSATION, NOT TAX!

  • @AnotherMontageVideo Are you saying it's OK to continue polluting the earth at an escalating rate?

  • @SimoAdams big corporations will not be affected by this, they don't pay these taxes they pay bribe money

  • I dont know how she dare show her face in public. She said in August 2010 that if elected she would not introduce a carbon tax and yet here she is telling all the dumb people how it will work and that taking money from them will be good for them. She really is a disgraceful liar.

  • @drenlord But he never left. Rudd is the Minister for Foreign Affairs. What is it with YouTube's ability to attract the most retarded comments possible?

  • By liberal being fascist, i mean that liberal does things right for the people and don't act like a 'dictator'

    Economy needs to be fixed by: cutting down on NBN, extra costs and stuff. But tony abbot needs to be careful on how to fix the shit labor left behind...

    And bob brown is a idiot, trying to play innocent and cry 'foul' when someone protests against him when he an his colleagues vandalises things in the past... fuck our politics, i want to be in politics to help ppl, not to b selfish

  • @fuckinganonyfags "cutting down on NBN, extra costs and stuff" Brilliant! Why doesn't Swanny come to you for tips on how to "fix" the economy?

  • In other words: you will be broke sooner than later for the price of nothing! Julia, get lost and never come back to politics again...

    I wish the liberal government weren't as fascist/communist like these jokers and have the public (that are smart and do not listen to media and read before they elect) decide about certain things that are critical (bills that can have a negative affect on this and that)

    She is stupid, she is a scam and her government are all dumb... screw bob brown too

  • Nobody is scared off by words, so stop patronising us. Tax, scam, lie, dictatorship. They all seem to fit perfectly. 

  • Why is the following not surprising? $+politics = Profits. !

  • Go to the SOS-NEWS website and read the article called- Global Warming Scam is DEAD ! ,Speaking were the world’s foremost climate scientists. They discussed on the latest evidence in the field of climatology and explained the most recent peer reviewed scientific discoveries. And one thing from their talks is crystal clear: when it comes to the battle of ideas, the apocalyptic man-made global warming scam is DEAD. 6th International Conference On Climate Change Calls Out Bob Brown as a Fraud

  • cheaper ,lower carbon pollution products = made in china

  • But lower Co2 products are more expensive in the first place, this will not off set the higher price of "Green" products/

  • Photosynthesis (English pronunciation: /foʊtoʊˈsɪnθəsɪs/; from the Greek φώτο- [photo-], "light," and σύνθεσις [synthesis], "putting together", "composition") is a chemical process that converts carbon dioxide into organic compounds, especially sugars, using the energy from sunlight.[1] Photosynthesis occurs in plants, algae, and many species of bacteria.......... TAX ISNT THE SOLUTION FOR CARBON. MOTHER NATURE IS!

  • Way to piss off a country, Gillard.

  • why do we have to follow all of americas sick, peverted scams?

    can we be australians instead of americans

  • Comment removed

  • ok they put costs up for big business/transport/manufacturi­ng............ the first thing they will do is pass the cost on to the the consumer, the pittance that govco will hand out will pale into insignificance imo, if transport prices go up, all goods will go up including fuels, petrol/gas/oil, if our manufacturing is costly then surely the lower incomers will buy the cheap imports instead, our manufacturing can only cut cost so much, how many will fold?

  • How the hell is Carbon Dioxide a pollutant.If there was none around we all die..... just plant more trees. What about India and China? they have between them 1000 coal fired power stations on the drawing board waiting to be built.... Fairdikum this women and her friends are dangerous. They are salivating over the huge increase in revenue thats all, its got nothing to do with saving the planet

  • I wonder if these "Cheaper carbon tax products" are even Australian made.

  • Nice try Gillard, but I'm not dumb like many Australians. The carbon tax will fuck Austraila over. The power plants and the mines will laugh at Gillard, and pass on the cost to the dumb people of austraila. And as a bonus for them, they will move overseas, giving us less jobs, and passing on the cost as well.

    If i were a shop, i would ask people about the carbon tax, and if they agree with it, i would rip them off eg they pay $20, while the no or neutral side pay $1

  • @MrChowTheTroll *If i were to own a shop" what i ment to say

  • Are these so called "cheaper low pollution items" going to be made in Australia? We have so little home manufacturing that it's likely they will come from China where they don't give a damn about the environment. How will the government guarantee the Chinese will decrease their carbon footprint when they make our products there?It's all smoke & mirrors to squirrel more tax dollars out of one of the already highest taxed communities in the world.Show us one product where it'll work, she can't.

  • The BIGGEST problem with our environment is deforestation. Trees absorb CO2 & give off oxygen & when you chop down & burn a 200yr old tree,200yrs of absorbed CO2 is pumped back into atmosphere in the time it takes to burn it. Keep chopping the trees down & NO AMOUNT OF CARBON TAX WILL HELP.So what's the government doing about the trees being cut down?BUGGER ALL! More pollutants are put into the air, growing & processing ethanol than it will ever take out of the atmosphere & now they want a C tax

  • Don't beat around the bush, a carbon tax is a bullshit tax that will do nothing to help the environment, all it WILL do is raise more tax dollars for the government to squander on some other hair-brained scheme, like the insulation one, where 4 people died and more could in the future. How much government funds have gone to compensate the loss suffered by the relos of the victims? Will any of the carbon tax alleviate the problems in the environment? NO! What is climate change? Natural process!

  • to the carbon tax supporter: how do u think the energy companies are going to recoup their losses? their going to raise their prices! and it's going to be us the consumer paying huge energy bills! ALSO, the money from the tax isn't even going to trying to stop global warming. Half of its going to be another bloody welfare payment and the other half is going to pay of labours massive debt from scams such as home insulation, NBN, and other crap. This will not help the environment, only hurt us

  • This is a load of Bull Cr@p! Excuse my french!

    If this carbon tax goes ahead, it's going to cause mayhem! 

  • so now the government is telling us what we should buy WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Australia needs a carbon tax.

  • @charbonou2 Australia needs a carbon tax like another hole in the head. It's akin to the GST, you know, the one we would never ever have, according to it's deliverer. Pre-2000 first home buyers mostly could afford a house, now, unless they're well off, it's almost impossible. There were almost no taxes within the building industry & overnight it went up 10%. A carbon tax will do NOTHING to help the environment, it's NOT unleaded fuel, everyone will pay--for nothing in return.

  • To understand more about this policy go to the web site of the Carbon Tax Center.

  • Not sure if the Carbon Tax is the best solution, but at least the Gillard Gov is willing to accept climate change is a problem, unlike the Libs who are simply fueling the flames of scientific distrust and ignorance. Anthropogenic climate change is scientifically accepted by the scientists and the evidence is legit.

  • She tries to Baffle us with B.S.

  • lol how would less carbon produced goods be cheaper ? If my competitors are paying through the nose in tax and i'm producing the same quality product without paying any carbon tax, what incentive is there to make my product cheaper ? i've already reduced my costs, my profits are higher in margin compared to my competitors. There really is no incentive for me to reduce my price until my competitors react.

  • @Gromgaw if your product uses renewable energy, it will probably be cheaper than the competitors.

  • @Oddessuss It's actually more expensive in the short term to invest in green technology right now however if the carbon tax was implemented it would be more viable for the long term. I'd agree that to produce a product using greener energy, if it was already implemented before this tax, will be cheaper to the manufacturer, but there is no incentive to compete in price when your, more polluting, competitors will be forced to change, costing them thousands to millions.

  • @Gromgaw They already are though, and our electricity bills are already being slogged for it, correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't 20% of our power bill have to come from renewable sources? some percentage anyway. Theres no incentive currently for big polluting companies to stop polluting. New intiatiatives cost money, but the campaign against it is murky and often based on fear. If not a carbon tax, what should we do to tackle anthropogenic climate change. Not nothing.

  • @Oddessuss Well that's the real issue isn't it, tackling climate change. And to be quite fair, a carbon tax will do more harm than good since price of all goods will be increased where some goods there will be no green substitutes available (petrol for example). Another point, Carbon tax is only ONE option. The current government has ignored all other options through sheer ignorance. It is mind boggling to think people would actually see the Carbon Tax to be a good thing for Australia.

  • And are we all to stupid to think that those who pay more tax for emitting more carbon will not filter those cost down line to us ??? Or move production of shore to bypass the tax ???

    The woman's a moron.

  • Sounds complicated. They really need to do a detailed study to check if this works on a small scale first before rolling it out to the entire country. What isn't mentioned is government overheads to run the program and how the citizens will end up paying more for big government.
