Even the farkkk wit CanJoh up here has admitted that the Carbon Pricing will have little effect on electricity.

Did you know that the Qld State Guv'ment has just complained to the ACCC about the local south east electricity suppliers price rise.

HOW GOOD IS THAT...

The state Guv'ment complaining to the Body recommended by the FEDs

Spoide .......... don't worry too munch about me answering your particular queries. If it worries you so munch I'd suggest that you look up some of the recent remarks from the Mayor of Whyalla. He knows a lot more about his town then I do.

If you get stuck I can help you out.

but I do know that all of the good folk of Whyalla now have a higher tax free threshold.

But its not about the people is it... it is all about the Paper headline hey?

Feel the Squeeze Spoidarh, feel it. Relax, it wont hurt.

Ads you have mellowed already about the effect on the economy?

Crikey

Don't forget the electricity bills ... Reefy will tell you they have gone up a brazillion percent from carbon pricing

Not at all, I think we are lucky Abbott will destroy it before it really does the damage. Just thinking hypothetically.

Still yet to hear what this will do for the environment though quigs. Surely you have something you can put forward to enlighten me?

I have jsut received word through the IPA of Quigs earlier work in life. hers a quick summary

1. Avid reader of Nostradamus & went door knocking warning everybody.

2.Heavens Gate cult(leftists) 1970's warned that the comet hales gopp would destroy the earth but the UFO that was following would help humans escape. 39 people had to commit suicide to create the gate to the ship. Quigs volunteered but was rejected because he had too much C02 in him.

3. After the comet passed & there was no end, quigs turned his attention to the Jupiter effect in late 70's. it was predicted that the alignment of our 2 planets would catastrophic climate change & storms & wipe out the planet in 1982. When that day came & passed, it was noted the only catasrophic change was the high tide was .02 mm higher. So quigs got out of his ark & went looking for a new crusade.

4. Quigs got tied up with union movement for a while at this point becoming the spokesperson for RSI , stress related workplace injury & compensation for doing your job movement. it wasnt until 1998 that the crusader saw another opportunity to rejoin the leftist hall of super heroes & save the world, one more time.

5. 1998 Y2K!!! The real end of the world. Planes will fall out of the sky. Nuclear reactors will spontaneously melt down etc etc. Quigs had already moved to a safe cave, so he was safe & there he would work for years on building miniature infrastructure projects to learn how he could help rebuild the planet after the calamity. ofcourse only using union labor & correctly ticketed work force with health & superannuation plans.

6. After y2k came & went, Quigs needed a new crusade on how to extract funds from......sorry ....on how to to save the world, when one day a a dread locked stinking tree hugger came to the cave & gave quigs a
poster of a move call the inconvenient truth. Thats all Quigs needed. he didnt need to see the movie he'd heard enough already & noticed the cave was getting hotter. A new crusade for quigs. The first thing quigs did was install solar panels on the cave whilst there was a 100% rebate(read: paid for by other people) onto the cave & installed pink batts on the walls of the cave also whilst there was a 100% rebate on offer. Now he had time & comfort to take to the interweb to become the the Australian high priest of wealth redistir......sorry, climate change & all things doomsday.

Not much success so far with no change in climate & quigs has considered jumping on different crusades liek the large hadron collider the Mayans 2012 prophecy & also a few highly secretive doomsday crusades about to hit the market.

Wow. we need expert advice on how to redistirbute weal......sorry......on how to save the planet, we know who to talk to!!!

Spoide .......... don't worry too munch about me answering your particular queries.

Avoidance noted.

But we all know what you are reluctant to say - Whyalla has been bought for its silence on the matter.

Shame they cant buy a solution to the boats...

Sure do. How does the carbon tax effect that? Seriously.

Well you see Ads, decades and decades ago they used to allow anyone or anything to be pumped into the Sydney waterways.

Most were unfit to swim in, some were toxic, and many were deprived of actual sea life.

Some more intelligent then us decided at that time and had the forsight to see that it just couldn't go on. And strict harsh guidelines were introduced.

Also harsh penalties for offenders.

It changed the habits of polluters and those that lived alongside the waterways. It changed the way people looked at their seaside lifestyle.

I don't know if you remember back to those days. I do.

Anyhow enjoy your swims and surf.

Next time you see a pic of the planet from space and you see that little white hazy film around the sphere. Just remember that is all we have, and that is all that keeps us alive.

I have always remember the comment of a lunar astronaut returning from the moon. He said that.....

Spoide, Spoidarhhh.

Farry O'Barrell is squeezing with the python it appears.

(I never expected that from such a popular government)

-------------------------------------------------

Energy distributors make hay while the consumers whine
AS HOUSEHOLDS prepare for the latest round of steep rises in electricity bills, to be delivered over the next few months, the NSW government-owned power companies are earning record profits and are budgeting for more.

In papers tabled in the NSW Parliament earlier this year, the three power distributors - Ausgrid, Endeavour Energy and Essential Energy - all reported record profits for the December half, which are expected to be mirrored in their full-year profits results.

Ausgrid, the largest of the three companies, earned a pretax profit of $610 million in the first half, easily topping its own forecast for $547.7 million.

As a result, it now expects to earn a pretax profit of $1.1 billion for the year to June, comfortably above its earlier forecast of $1.05 billion.

yeah centennial park & Hyde park & the botanic gardens were always on the radar for non leftist people to destroy!!!!!!! thats what the right wingers wanted. Filthy waterways & no trees or gardens!!!
Quigs is right. Every Indian person should be made more carbon tax so they dont pollute their water ways or cut down trees to cook their dinners etc & cause more pollution.
Quigs is soo right. If it wasnt for the crusaders of his era, the waterways would still be filthy & the trees wouldbe gorne!
or perhaps, maybe time & technology, would have just precipitated the change anyway? nahhh, cant be so!!! Its all thanks to the crusaders!!!

Quigs I'm all for changing habits. What happened back then was a direct impact on our waterways. Literally. We didn't need the whole world doing the same thing to have an impact.

The carbon tax and the whole idea that carbon is a pollutant is entirely different. Us basically going it alone will achieve nothing. We will not influence the big guys to join us. Not only is it pointless we decide to throw $23 per tonne and rising at it, killing our industries and rising costs for you and me and at the same time sending coal to china for them to use and pollute the earth with. Does that not cancel out anything we are trying to achieve?

You wont get answers out of Quigs for that Ads. he is suspending his own disbelief. He knows there is no climate change rubbish going on, but he uses that as a basis for his idealogy of wealth redistribution. He attacks anything that is money maing based unless it is a useless lefty scheme like unionism or windmills.

Ads if you believe we are going it alone, then I guess I can't change a thing with you.

I suggest that you don't believe everything that you read in the papers.

Change is happening and it is happening now.

You won't notice it, I won't notice it. But it will and has to happen. End of story.

There is none that is so blind as those that cannot see.
