Australia has the World's Biggest Carbon Tax

Australia's Carbon Tax at a revenue of $9 Billion is far bigger than all other economy-wide Carbon Pricing schemes on the planet combined. Ten percent of this is slated to go directly to the UN's Green Climate Fund. Australia has by a long shot the biggest Carbon Tax on the planet. Brought in by a coalition government between the Australian Labor Party and the Australian Greens Party; it has smashed the economy, destroyed businesses, closed mines, cost tens of thousands of jobs, raised debt and divided the country. In the process, two sitting Prime Minister's were sacked, and in the recent election in September, 2013 (which was on the Carbon Tax) Labor were destroyed, with their lowest vote for 100 years, and the Greens lost the balance of power in the senate. Incredibly, so strong is their belief in the "dangerous CO2" fraud that the Labor Party still want to stick to this toxic tax. If they persist with this policy, it looks certain that they will never, ever be in power again in Australia. This is an incredible warning for the UK and the US politicians to BEWARE of carbon pricing!
