Comments on Julia Gillard “Carbon price now or we'll pay later”, 17/11/2010, http://www.smh.com.au/opinion/politics/carbon-price-now-or-well-pay-later-20101116-17vti.html?posted=successful
The Prime Minister keeps saying carbon price, but people are confused by what she means because she is constantly changing her stance.
Also, it is not necessarily true that businesses don't invest because of uncertainties on carbon price in Australia. Businesses should be able to price future electricity price/costs out of these uncertainties.
Further, only talking about carbon price without seeking the most efficient way to achieve it is no different from spin.
Besides, talking about spiralling power price without addressing how the consumers/people should be entitled to the carbon proceeds is no different from hypocrites. It is scare tactics.
We need a prime minister of action. We don't need a prime minister for power grabbing.
A prime minister in action should go for a revenue neutral and trade neutral carbon tax complemented by additional measures to encourage other carbon offsets.
