More tax! More tax!
Trying desperately to justify a pointless tax that nobody wants, Greg Combet plumbs new depths:
“Tariffs were iconic, and even now they instantly reappear in debate as policy responses to contemporary economic pressures.
“But John Button’s reforms made Australia stronger.”
Mr Combet said carbon pricing was “squarely in the Labor reformist tradition” which Senator Button helped to forge. (source)
Allow me to put it simply:
“Taxing people more is what Labor does best.”
Australian Climate Madness 
Combet: Seek psychiatric help immediately. The squirrels are galloping around in your empty attic.
John Button sold the car workers out in the 80s and 90s, so much for Labor looking after the workers, and the unions said nothing, bit like the carbon tax to come all the unions are tight lipped, more than likely hoping for a govt job, bugger the workers
Combet and the rest of the cronies, are oxygen thieves and a waste of space!!
You know what… the problem with this labor government is that its idea of setting policy is to have a new bloody tax!
Binge drinking… have a bloody alco-pop tax!
Mining boom … have a bloody ‘super profits’ tax!
Non-existent catastrophic global warming … have a bloody carbon (dioxide) tax!
The only thing that has truly shocked me is they have not yet talked about families … have a bloody INHERITANCE TAX!
But just you wait… that’s bloody coming!
That’ll get back the votes you lost after announcing the carbon tax. Good one, Greg.

Yes it certainly is Labor reform tradition at its best.
Dont forget the mature age workers tax offset,thats been removed as well.This was a $500 rebate to older workers to encourage them to stay in the workforce.I am not sure that was covered in your list.This labor mob are a bunch of no hopers,the next election can not come soon enough
A survey in the highly biassed SMH claimed 75% actually want the tax. These nut cases deserve what they get … or perhaps this is the mob on social welfare ?
Reforming or killing the economy?
this guy is a complete imbecile ….buried in his own delusions ….[snip]
