A just government does not tyrannise its population. Climate Czar Garnaut’s climate change legislation, which means imposing an emissions trading scheme on the population, will be a diabolical exercise. Bob Brown says polluters will pay, meaning in his view, all industrial activities, including the development of electricity by coal driven power houses.

Before the election he was crowing that should labor be elected every coal driven power house in Australia would close. This may well be the case in due course.

And Penny Wong says that the top 1,000 polluters will need permits. That is newspeak meaning the top 1,000 producers will pay a tax to produce. She added that the effect of the permits would wash through the community in a “whole of economy approach.”

That is more newspeak for “the entire population will eventually be saddled with the tax”. If it all comes to pass, Senator Wong will indeed be making poverty history.

It is indeed incredible that carbon dioxide, the very gas upon which all life depends for photosynthesis, is condemned by the gang of four; those being Brown, Wong, Garrett and Garnaut. And, like Chairman Mao, PM Rudd leads the rush to the extinction of personal liberty.

If a King or emperor in days gone by inflicted such an imposition on his subjects, he would have to cope with a revolution and, in fact, may lose his head.
