No Carbon Tax
Petition published by Joaquin Z Garcia on Mar 31, 2011
317 Signatures 
|
Target: Parliament House, Canberra ACT Australia
Region: Australia
Petition Background (Preamble):
Whereas the current government went to an election promising not to impose a carbon tax. And, using the current numbers in Parliament as an excuse to renege on that promise, after several days of obfuscation.
Whereas the government is making all sorts of reasons, with changes in this almost daily to explain the reasoning for the tax.
Whereas the government has resorted to name calling and question-begging epithets to denigrate ordinary Australians opposed to the carbon tax.
The government does not have the mandate to set this tax. It doesn't have the moral ground, as they claim, either.
A tax this big should be referred to the people, after all the Howard government did it for GST.
And, finally quoting dubious authorities to justify a tax that will burden the whole of Australia for very little effect on the environment. Hey, Tim Flannery said that if the whole world stopped emissions, it would take 1000 years to make 1 degree of difference.
The tax is based on a lie and should not proceed.
