Was interesting to see the TXT in todays Weekend Post claiming Bob Katter had "dropped the ball" becuase he voted for the carbon tax. That is totally incorrect.You have to wonder if it is deliberate from the other parties because they are worried or it is a genuine mistake caused by misinformation.
Either way, the carbon tax was put forward by the current govt. They were supported by the greens and other independents but NOT Bob Katter. The Australian Party does not support the proposed carbon tax. It will cost Australian jobs and industry. It will increase prices for consumers long after the so called assistance packages are of any consequence to meet the price rises. Electricty, fuel, transport costs etc are going to go through the roof. The proposed package does not reduce emissions by one iota. The money from this burdensome new tax does not go to reducing emission strategies but to pay for the promises made to secure support from the greens and independants.
If the writer of that post was genuinely mistaken, it would appear they are mixed up with the vote on the assistance package for the steel industry. Bob Katter did vote for that because we believe in protecting Australian jobs and keeping a manufacturing industry in Australia. We need to ensure we are not totally dependant on overseas imports of materials made from the resources we have right here in our own country.
