It looks to me like the Gillard government is inetnt on punishing their own citizens with increased costs which will have little effect on global co2 emissions.Shouldn't the rest of the globe be contributing to the effort? As the world's largest exporter of coal they should instead institute a fee solely on coal exports and spread the pain around. They might export a little less coal, but at least they won't be burdening their citizens with all the pain.If importing countries object, they are signaling they don't worry about co2 emissions. If they don't worry, why should Australia?Frankly, I view the 'co2 is bad' basis for the whole thing as just a scam being perpetrated on the hoi polloi.
