A Carbon Price

Jeez - the monk is back into it again today talking about how a *price on carbon* will push the price of electricity up and other blah, blah, and blah.

Haven't we gotten over this yet? Didn't the people repudiate this *delay and deny* climate nonsense from the Coalition at the last election? Surely there can't be more than two or three dimwits left in the nation who haven't yet got the message?

The Government just needs to get on with it. There is more than enough information about what to do and how to do it - ask Ross Garnaut to give you a précis if you are not clear. You could develop a competent plan just by googling "Climate Change Mitigation" for christ sake.

The simple reality is - "The longer the delay then the higher the cost and the bigger the impact". Did you understand that? If not then I will repeat it - "The longer the delay then the higher the cost and the bigger the impact".

Everyone who is even half smart about the problem gets it - why not our friggin politicians?

I reckon we should give them a deadline. Either you have a price on carbon regulated and up and running by close of business next Friday - or you don't have a job - simple.
