I'm conservative and I'm not mad at all. This is going to be the death of Gillard and the Labor party in the next election. Liberals are going to gain a supermajority after the effects of this retarded tax are felt. You are the one who will be mad.

> Today's vote is a win for Australia's children. It's a win for those who will seek their fortunes and make their way by having jobs in our clean energy sector. It's a win for those who want our environment to be a cleaner environment and to see less carbon pollution

Nice one Australia.

>australia

who cares

"It's a win for those who want our environment to be a cleaner environment and to see less carbon pollution"

it's like china, india and the US dont exist.

Felt like being in a 3rd world country. The less oil we use the better... not much point earning an extra few k a year over our lifetime if we end up having to fork over more than that for healthcare before our 60s

Yeah, good-oh mate.
We've seen in the cases of Copengagen, The UN and WTO that multilateral agreements are incredibly difficult to come to, due to the massive disagreements in motives, means and objectives. also, the EU has an ETS. At least Australia's taking a step forward.

>australian politics

Possibly the only that can rival the US in quackery.

>>245750
lolno.jpg, they'll definitely lose if they have Abbott as their leader and they'll probably still lose if they someone better.

>>245896
>feel like my lungs are about to explode from barely being able to breathe from the pollution

That's not normal, you should consult the advice of a medical professional immediately.

Purely symbolic

It doesn't even do anything significant for carbon output, and if it did, they'd just go overseas

Libs will repeal it when Labor are crushed next election

>>245896
>Live in western Sydney shit whole

>Thinks its the same for the rest of Australia

This is Greens thinking.

>>245990
Despite it being a stepping stone to a market-based ETS, and despite it being an indirect tax which shall raise prices at a level comparable to the GST (which has a death-count of 0), you still seem to be ignoring the facts - the effects of the tax will be minor.

>>245967
All of the polls show Labor losing EVEN WITH Abbott as leader because of this retarded carbon tax. It's going to result in people dying during winter because they can't afford heating and it's going to cause a massive economic contraction. Somebody build a guillotine and behead these leftist traitors.

The liberal party has been given a mandate to repeal this suicidal tax and they WILL DO IT when they win.

>>245990
> It's going to result in people dying during winter

>Doesn't even go below 5 degrees Celsius unless you're in the alps

>Implying Labor is leftist
They're not. They're right wing as fuck, the Liberals in the 80's and 90's were more left than current Labor.

Economically Labor and Liberal are almost identical, you're right

However, in social policy both Labor and Liberal have been drifting Left. You'll never see either party criticize our failing demographics (caused by female careerism and loose sexual morality) or immigration, for instance. Never.

>>246027
>Sucking up to the Greens (who are basically communists)
a) They're in the Government together, that's like saying the Liberals are a bunch of no spine faggots for aligning with the Nationals
b)You don't know what communism is, although that doesn't stop the greens for being shit
>>Forcing new multicultural bullshit into the education curriculum
I don't know how old you are, but i finished school 4 years ago and i had multicultural things in my school curriculum for my entire highschool...
>Internet filtering
>Implying that's a leftist ideology, it's not it's an Authoritarian ideology, also, they don't filter the internet... that whole ordeal was dropped over a year ago.

>>246077
>Doesn't realise only poor bogans who will vote Liberal because that's what Alan Jones told them to do are the ones who live in the Snowy Mountains

>>246086
It's been that way since the 70s and 80s. Both my parents are irretrievably brainwashed

In the 50s and 60s it wasn't. My eldest aunt remembers when the West still had some sanity

>>246085
Liberals did try to fix our failing demographics with the "have one child for the mother, one for the father and one for that country" slogan that came out around the same time as the baby bonus. Of course the feminist infested Labor party had a bitch about it.

>>246097
I work at a law firm and we all vote Liberal except for some of the younger girls because they're less authoritarian. I don't know where this stereotype that all Liberal supporters are bogans comes from.

>>246122
Because bogans are your typical racist and homphobes, and the Liberal party is anti immigration and anti gay rights. That's why.

>>246122

liberals = conservatives
labor = democrats

>>246138
>implying being a racist is a bad thing

Oh boy you have a lot to learn. Go move to Africa if you love niggers so much.

>>246107
That was just a casual Costello quote, that was never actualized into policy. Our birthrates are some of the lowest, even for the Western World even including immigrants

Even by 2050 Australia will be a radically different country racially/culturally and our demographics will still be fucked (although not as badly as Europe/America). Hopefully some Europeans will emigrate here again

>>246122
I reckon hipsters and bogans are 2/3rds the Green vote

Bawww I hate racists

>>246146
Wow, Jesus fucking christ, i never says i wasn't anti immigration either and why do retards like you consistently try to derail threads with your retarded racist propaganda.

>>246164
>Scientific data
>Propaganda

Yeah, no. Go move to Africa you traitor.

>>245995
hahaha
I do actually live in Western Sydney. But then again so do another 1.5 million people...
I'm sure a lot of Melbourne is just as bad, because the rest of Sydney is. So a total of ~6mill people from 2 cities alone... fuark brah gettin close to a majority.

>>246143
It's better describing the Liberals as 'Market Liberals' and Labor as 'Social Democrats' (maybe just 'Social Liberals' since they aren't so socialist anymore)

In theory, anyway

as a Greens voter on welfare benefits, this pleases me

>>246175
>Implying your science is more right than others

Pretty much everyone on /pol/ denies Global warming, even though it has overwhelming scientific evidence behind it. But there's just as much evidence to say it doesn't exist. Just because there's a link linking to a website on one your magical pictures doesn't make it true

>>246193
This. So much this.

Still niggers have never run a single country well, ever. Not even when they had the chance to do so (see: Haiti)

I'm just glad I'll be old (~60) when Australia's careless demograhpics/immigration policies of the last few decades really start catching up with us

>>246193
This isn't anything to do with AGW. There's never been an IQ test that shows Africans or Aboriginals doing as well as Europeans or Asians in an IQ test, so there is no "other science" or opposing viewpoints to study.
