All the same, really. Our once jewel-like planet is completely f**ked. Thanks a lot, r-wing idiots.

«Meanwhile, the head of the Australian Industry Group, Heather Ridout, says she is concerned about where the Coalition's climate change policy could be heading.

Comment: It doesn't get much further r-wing.
The Lab's scheme was 'cut' so that industry could live with it - the Labs could not have 'fielded' it otherwise.
The ETS would have given some clever-clogs traders yet another source to rip-off some 'profits;' and *perhaps* the ETS might've saved our once jewel-like planet.
But what happens?
The coal miners *know* that they will have to stop digging up coal - or the planet burns. Sooo, they lobbied the sheople - & the Libs.
Q: Do the miners care? A: No; somehow they think they'll be OK (Jack!)
On the way, the Libs have 'burned' two more leaders, Turnbull & Hockey.

The only way forward now, is to 'get real' with a real 'market' based solution: a carbon-tax at source.
Industry (except the miners) doesn't care a fig - they'll pass-on any/all costs anyway - just as they always do.
Sorry - but not too sorry - the sheople will have to pay - one way or the other; pay for expensive carbon (until the usage drops enough), or keep burning carbon - until the planet burns up too.
Listen daaarlings; it really is as simple as that.
It's not the libs' choice - it's yours.
