Naturally, politicians blame everyone else, but most of the blame rests with them and their covert climate taxes.

These Green Stealth Taxes do nothing to reduce real pollution, have no effect on the climate, but do inflate costs.



Sly climate taxes are everywhere, like weeds in the garden.

For example, Queensland has a “Climate Smart” law mandating that 15% of electricity must be generated by gas rather than by low cost coal. In addition the feds have a target to generate 20% of electricity from renewables, which are far more expensive than gas. And they dictate propped up prices for solar feed-in tariffs, which push up costs for all electricity consumers.



Then we have the Climate Change “Industry”, a multitude of make-believe businesses creating pretend jobs supported by stealth taxes and subsidies. These parasitical “industries” include ethanol, wind/solar power and carbon sequestration.



Taxpayers also pay for wasteful spending by governments on climate junkets, carbon tax propaganda, carbon accounting, one-sided climate research, the Carbon Bank, deceptive advertising and carping climate commissioners. All of this money could be reducing taxes or providing infrastructure or services that people really want.



The government’s own “Productivity Commission” identifies 230 carbon stealth taxes and subsidies with an estimated cost of $44 per tonne of emissions reduced.



It is not sufficient to stop The Big Carbon Tax – we must also smoke out the Stealthy Carbon Taxes.
