I haven't seen anyone say that the carbon tax was a de facto GST, I was quite happy with coming up with that one. 

If anyone was in doubt why the Mad Monk is on the nose;

So much for getting rid of that nasty carbon tax and all the savings we would receive. It seems Tony's corporate buddies have done the dirty and rogered the electorate while the Mad Monk and Treasurer Jokey were asleep at the wheel! Even worse the likes of Turnbull and Bishop just standby and let them, that is Jokey, Yabbott and the Energy Co's, do this to their own country just for some political advantage.

I gather the next step for the lot is out the H of R door and straight onto the board of the local energy authority!

PS: I'd tried to get angry with Truss and Bannanaby about this but I just can't. But one is a walking advertisement for the need to legalise euthanasia and the other is just an fecking idiot!

My powerbill went down when the carbon tax was axed.

Even got a letter saying it would be.

I read somewhere that a large proportion of electricity price increases are driven by the cost of investment in distribution rather than generation. So the  removal of the tax on actual burning of the coal only has a minor effect on net price.
