    The whole carbon tax thing......

    The Aussie blokes you see on TV talking about how the carbon tax will destroy the country, that's not what it looks like.

    That's a multi-billion dollar consortium of global coal companies who want to keep their profits massive. Got nothing to do with jobs.

    People see it from the perspective of Lib / Lab.

    My issue is not about what is being said, it's about who is saying it.

    The advertisements are not from the Libs.

    The advertisements are not from a wing or association or part of the Libs in any way.

    It's not Liberal advertising, and that is the problem.

    There are issues here are beyond left / right / Lib / Lab.

    It's not even about climate change or the carbon tax!

    It's about the precedent of foreign companies or organisations coming in and taking control of politics in this country!

    If we let this happen it will bite both sides in the ass and chew us off in the middle.

    What will happen to the Libs if they cross the corporations?

    Who do you think is going to be in charge?

    Abbott might be the PM but he is not going to be in charge. He is already and unashamedly pledging to do whatever the big companies want.

    Forget the carbon tax, Forget the Liberals, Forget Labor, this is a whole new game.

    Please wake up.





    As a child my family escaped from Poland and we came here. My dad used to be in the merchant navy and sailed around the world before we came. When I asked him why we chose Australia, as we could have gone anywhere, he said we came to Australia because it was the best country in the world.

    You have no idea how much I appreciate Australia and being an Australian.

    When the corporation and the state were indistinguishable, they started killing people who would not do what they wanted.

    You don't know what you are wishing for.
