Trigger warning:

This site may, in fact always will contain images and information likely to cause consternation, conniptions, distress, along with moderate to severe bedwetting among statists, wimps, wusses, politicians, lefties, green fascists, and creatures of the state who can't bear the thought of anything that disagrees with their jaded view of the world.

Reaping Green Dividends

By Viv Forbes, Chairman,

The battle for Carbon Sense will go on. We have no option but to fight until the Carbon Tax bills are repealed and the dead weight of the massive Climate Change Bureaucracy is removed from our backs. We hope you can support us in this fight. Please pass this on.

The carbon policies of the Australian government will destroy regional industry.

Most regional industry relies on adding value to the products of primary industries – smelters, refineries, processing plants, cement plants, sawmills, flour mills, abattoirs and rail and port infrastructure. These facilities require cheap reliable electricity, which will never be supplied by green energy toys.

Recently Xstrata announced plans to cease smelting and refining copper in Queensland. Then Blue Scope Steel decided to reduce production and shed workers. Now Rio has signalled the sale of its aluminium processing empire. Next we can expect that a large coal fired electricity generator will be unable to repay its debts. Cement plants will be squeezed and rail and port costs will increase.

All of these projects are denigrated in their own country because they have one thing in common - they rely heavily on carbon fuels such as coal and gas and thus are all threatened by the toxic carbon tax. None of these activities will cease because of our carbon tax. They will either pay foreign spivs for "carbon credits" or the business will transfer to other countries who will welcome our trashed industries.

Not one of these operations will survive if forced to use costly and unreliable wind or solar power.

The 74 green lemmings in Parliament have given us "certainty" – the certainty of capital flight and job losses.

Are we prepared for the new green future where jobless Australians survive from backyard vegie gardens, poaching kangaroos and wild pigs from carbon credit forests and cooking with biomass on a wood stove?

Of course we will enjoy pirate movies downloaded at the speed of light using the NBN (as long as the sun is shining or the wind blows).


The Carbon Dioxide Tax Game

So let the games begin.

The Carbon (Dioxide) Tax game, with the rules defined by fools, can have only one outcome - Bludgers Ten, Workers Zero. The boundary referees can look forward to endless disputes as those just above and below the line fight for (dis)possession of the ball - the 'right' to pay this infamous tax. The score will be overwhelmingly from penalty kicks. The stakes are high and the punters are laying their bets in the mother-of-all-gambles - trading not goods and services, but thin air. The aim is not more production, but doing as little as possible to avoid generating the life-giving gas, carbon dioxide.

The speculators behind the scenes are gloating over the prospects.

And our international competitors know they now compete against an injured player carrying a hopeless handicap.

Bring on the next election.

Speaking of elections, Ontario Wind Turbines Slice Liberal Politicians

Worldwide resentment towards the green agenda is rising. In recent elections in Ontario, Canada, seven Liberal Politicians who support the green energy and wind farms agenda were defeated. The casualties include the agriculture minister, the education minister and, most symbolically, the environment minister. The Conservatives won all seven of those seats.
