Truckin’ nonsense against Australia’s carbon tax

You do wonder who is behind all this nonsense, as convoys of trucks descend on Canberra, and brawny guys speak out “representing the people” against the Gillard government’s plan for Australia joining the rest of the world in addressing global warming.

As far as I can read it, the Gillard government’s compensation plan means that lower and  middle income earners will actually come out financially ahead with the carbon tax.  Also, strategies for job protection are included.

Meanwhile attempts to derail the carbon tax by a double dissolution of Parliament will result in years of uncertainty and economic loss for Australia.

When I see these truckies performing on television, I can’t help wondering if they are more brawn than brain –   and what kind of well financed manipulations have gone on behind the scenes – to get them there. – Christina Macpherson
