Hearing him talking about Emissions trading schemes was a combination of laughable and downright alarming that someone this stupid could ever be considered to lead the country.

The only way to control emissions / pollution is a system of fines for those that break the rules. Not taxes, not another secondary derivatives market like an ETS - just big ass fines for anyone that breaks the rules.

It's that ****ing simple.
Is the ETS Carbon Tax whatever the **** you want to call it in your opinion about Carbon and the Environment or is it more so to do with the government wanting to raise tax levels and looking for a scape goat.

To me it is all taxation and the reincarnate of the super mining profits tax just in a different outfit
