Not only do they have disastrous tax, but they have a massive new bureaucracy dedicated to further eliminating Australian jobs.
THE ranks of Canberra’s bureaucracy will swell by hundreds thanks to the carbon tax.
At least $382 million is to be spent on agencies to implement and regulate the policy.
The Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency’s staff numbers had already more than doubled from 408 in July 2009 to 1027 in June last year in anticipation of the carbon tax.
It was unclear just how many staff would be taken on to create the Clean Energy Regulator, the Climate Change Authority and the Australian Renewable Energy Agency. But a department spokesman said last night the CCA would have nine members and be supported by a “small secretariat” while the regulator would need an additional 200 staff.
“Both bodies will have important roles in the governance of the carbon price mechanism and Australia’s initiatives to tackle climate change,” the spokesman said.
Government, the educated man’s synonym for waste.
Soon all industry will close down, and most people will be working for the Government.
It looks as if Australia is going to become another Cuba.
Add two more whammies. They are bringing in a mining tax to hurt the only industry that makes decent money in Oz right now AND a flood ‘levy’ to pay for government infrastructure damaged in the Queensland floods because the ALP led Queensland government is the only state government which chose not to have insurance.
Three spanking new taxes! Which is why consumer confidence has sunk back to GFC lows and nobody is daring to spend money on anything right now.
