I always love it when you see a car driving around with a 'no mining' sign on it. very funny that its on a car built from mining and running on mining and the sign is made from plastic.
I think all that we are seeing is that the greens and independants have the governments balls in a vice. Its clear from the polls that the governments sway in this direction is hurting them. I dont think it will be long until the whole thing implodes.
There was an article in my local paper today about how the council will have to put its rates up to cover an expected cost increase of $750k due to the carbon tax. They predict this cost due to the cost of street lights, power consumption of their assets and fleet costs.
I think the impact on the economy will be far greater than what they are telling us in what we are paying them to tell us
