Clotho: Mind you, Abbott is no better....remember his promise of no new tax.....that was until Hockey pointed out to him that the Mad Monk's paternity has to bee paid for somehow.

Sin Fong: Put them on the same boat and send them to Chrismas Island!

Over a year ago, Target 155 was introduced by the former Victorian Labor government to encourage people to save water during the drought. It was a very successful campaign. Unfortunately this campaign has been dumped by the Ted Ballieu government. The success of the campaign lied not on taxing the Victorians – people used over 155 litres per person per day were not penalised, and yet majority of the Victorians wanted to save water. Saving water and energy should be a way of life, and NOT political or economic policies imposed by the Government.

If the government really want to flex its muscle, deadlines can be imposed on industries to clean up their act, invest in alternative power generation or their business registration / licence will not be renewed. Taxes on any industry will have a flow on effect on ordinary people. No businesses want to be shut down!

The reason why we are high on carbon production per capita is because of our small population. In any business, there are always fixed and various costs involved. The same principle applies here that certain amount of carbon produced is fixed no matter what the population is.

Compounding this is transmission of power over vast distances to generally very low population density cities and towns, unlike many smaller area but higher population density European or Asian countries.

Clancy, thanks for the explanation. I was just being sarcastic. You are a real optimist! A leopard does not change its spots. A liar is always a liar!

Matron: why would you be so darn rude about the PM of Australia? it demonstrates the smallnes of your brain not future policies to be implemented.

She laughs when she lies point blank. She back-stabbed Kevin Rudd, plagiarised his policy and claimed her own.

How can we trust politicians like her who doesn't own up to mistakes? She owes all Australians an apology. Her arrogance in treating us like idiots in not understanding simple English like there will be NO carbon tax as an election promise!

I respect anyone irrespective of age, race, religion, colour, creed or political inclination. Respect must be earned - it is a privilege, and NOT a right!

Juliar Galah – Do you realise that climate change occurs every day? Humans just need to be more adaptive to the climate changes or will extinct like the dinosaurs. If you are serious about non-carbon generating energy, why is Central Australia still so underdeveloped and underutilised to harness the solar and wind energy?

What are you going to use the carbon tax for precisely - to build more schools, buy more computers, insulate more homes in the Labor electorates? Please explain.

By ignoring the poll is a sign of arrogance to the nth degree, self-centreness and disrespectful of the intelligence of the Australian public.

Will you continue to ignore what the rest of Australia is telling you that you are NOT on the right track?

Women - Boards

So, GG and Joe Hockey want more females on boards. If it is a matter of affirmative action, then after gender will be race, colour, religion or national origin.

It is concerning that democracy, free market, freedom of choice are dead in our society. Too much pressure has been placed on businesses, families and society at large to do the "right" thing, by the government or some authorities under the sun, and yet the people of Australia have no say in many of the ridiculous decisions made by them, such as money spent on “refugee” queue jumpers, welfare services provided to these and overseas countries instead of our own, building hospitals without providing funding for fittings, insulating the roofs but not the windows, adding new classrooms cum kitchens instead of quality teachers, etc.

Why can't all these goons leave us alone? Do GG or Joe Hockey also want male quotas on staying at home doing housework?
