Liberal backlash against Abbott's climate change policy

[Rorschach]

Nobody gives a stuff about the Carbon Price and haven’t since shortly after 1st July last year. It doesn’t resonate as an election issue with most doubting Abbott would repeal it.

I bet Gillard will do a Keating and say: if you don’t want to do anything about global warming, fine, vote for the Libs and the ALP won’t prevent him rescinding it in the Senate. If you don’t want the NBN, Gonski, Plain Packaging etc etc then vote for the Libs and we won’t prevent any of these programs being wound back. If you want the programs, a real NBN etc you will have to vote to return my govt.

This crap about a double dissolution in 5 months, as if Abbott would be brave enough

All the ALPs carbon/power policies have affected my utility bills you idiot I want them gone. save me a few hundred more dollars a year. Cost of living has gone up and labor and will continue to do so. Their compensation packages were never enough to cope in the first place.

Yes, you are idiot enough to do Credlin’s job.

The Carbon Price is supposed to have lifted power prices 10%. Since then, state govts have kept on gold plating poles and wires, kept on demanding big dividends from their generators.

Should Tone win, he MAY rescind the Carbon Price, but if he does you won’t see a drop in your power price.

But I don’t expect roach to understand anything much beyond 1 + 1= ?

No... I'm better than Credlin Monkey Boy.

Oh and BTW the nominal 10% is not the real rate of increase mine is over 30%, the carbon tax is just one component of it dumbo.
Gold plating is just a lie... and yes I have 15 years experience working for the largest Electricity Utility in NSW so I'd know.

As for your baseless put downs...
there is more knowledge and experience in my little finger on all these topics than you will acquire in your lifetime.

Bet you were a lousy meter reader.

Bet you were a lousy meter reader.

Nope... but I had to teach them how to use their computers...
One day you'll be as good as them I bet.

While no manufacturer receiving government patronage will admit it publicly, the combination of the carbon tax and clean energy policies has catapulted Australia's power prices, critical to manufacturing profitability, from among the cheapest in the world to the most expensive. According to a March 2012 study undertaken for the Energy Users Association of Australia, Victoria's household electricity prices are, after South Australia and NSW, the fifth most expensive in the world. While not conclusive, (comparable global statistics do not exist) and recognising that some emission intensive industries receive compensation from the government, there is little doubt that, even purchasing power parity adjusted, our energy costs are no longer competitive.
