Rudd will use the ETS to tax people and redistribute income

Comments on Malcolm Farr “Kevin Rudd pledges to repay ETS rise”, 8/12/2009, http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/world/kevin-rudd-pledges-to-repay-ets-rise/story-fn3dxix6-1225808012641

Rudd government is using the ETS as a tax and redistribution scheme.

Is it for tackling the climate change? Or is it to increase taxes and redistribute income in a disguised manner by the Rudd government?

It just unnecessarily complicates the climate change policy.

It appears part of the Rudd government's stealing approach, using the name of the climate cause and increase the size of his government and regulation of the country and the economy and people.

Where will Rudd government stop in its big government approach?

From the proposed more than 100 per cent compensation to low income families for the impact of its ETS, it is not difficult to see why Abbott is saying Rudd ETS is a big tax. There is no doubt it will be if Rudd gets his way!

Where did it get its mandate to do that? More than 100 per cent compensation?
