Essentially though, it doesn't.<br /><br />What was to be a tax on emissions of CO2 became as part of the class war, "a tax on Australia's biggest polluters." Thus the tax was to be levied on the nations biggest producers, (especially power generators and fuel suppliers, miners, etc, with the cost passed down to the consumer in a way that would allow the government to appear clean handed.<br /><br />By the time the actual legislation was announced, it had gone through a transition to a fully fledged redistribution of wealth scheme, under which much of the income from the tax was to be passed on to 'lower income' households, with most if not all of the rest used to prop up marginal industries whose closure would make the government look bad.<br /><br />Some reports suggest that the tax will have such a detrimental effect on the mining industry, that there will be a massive shortfall of expected income from the mining tax leaving a $4billion hole in Swan's 'balanced' budget.Jim Fryarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15780237902858889143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060534295892170518.post-86173334763516130032012-06-26T09:52:37.961+10:002012-06-26T09:52:37.961+10:00G'day Jim

Do energy producers fall within the scope of the tax?profoundly_disturbednoreply@blogger.com
