In spite of this tax Australia will continue to grow CO2 emissions from our tiny 1.32% base - miniscule growth even with our big mining industry
The US and China on the other hand will continue to grow their emissions from the current level of 41% of global emissions...

What a joke - are supporters of this tax retarded...??
Australia has possibly the DUMBEST political leadership on earth
