You haven't even heard the start of it yet Jenna - if the website says you will be $600 worse off, you can easily quadruple that or more methinks .... once the tax filters down at reach level of production, transport, wholesale and sale the prices of everything will increase significantly. Then as inflation rapidly rises the RBA needs to increase interest rates so rent/mortgages go up (they are linked), etc etc.

Plus, as the video points out, $23 is the STARTING price of carbon - it will rapidly increase without cap.

... great. sign me up now.

*groan* :angry:

Bollocks, that is a load of crap.

And if another government was in power they wouldn't have blown the $50bn for bogans to buy smokes and booze to put us in this much debt, that we now need to get ourselves out of.

The Liberals would actually use any funds taken as a carbon levy to actually do some positive good in creating green energy etc, rather than just fill their budget black hole like Gillard is going to do.

Fact, Labor have approved the feed-in tariff of home solar energy production to reduce to less than 65% of the Liberal-instated levels as of Oct 1.

Fact, Labor have scrapped the solar rebate scheme and are currently phasing it out.

Fact, as soon as KRudd got in he made the solar rebate means tested, so the wealthy have to pay full tote odds for a solar system.

If they gave the slightest toss about the environment they would be UPPING all of these things, NOT wiping them out!!!!!

Oh dont get me wrong, Im not sticking up for them, I think its bullshit, but I'm honestly not convinced that liberal would'nt have introduced/upped existing taxes for some reason or another.

Fact: labor are hurting this country. I used to vote democrats but dont know who id vote for now. Greens & independents arnt helping things, labor are trash. Who else to vote for? Shite....

All i know is I'm struggling bigtime as I'm sure many others are.

Trying to find work but not having luck at this time.

Sorry to tell you Brendan, but things are going to get MUCH worse before they get better.

Look at how are travelling at the moment - unemployment is at historical lows (despite Labor screwing up Work Choices and driving dozens of big businesses out of Australia), interest rates are historically low and in general we are not too badly off.

Yet, 25% of Australians are currently in serious financial distress and in danger of losing their homes.

During the property boom (2002-2006) the banks were VERY irresponsible indiscriminately giving out way too much money to people who couldn't really afford it (often at 100%+ loans). These people bought huge houses that were significantly more expensive than what they really could afford and should have been buying.

Move forward in time to when the carbon tax comes in; power, food, transport, fuel and everything we do goes up in price by 15-20% ..... along with rises in unemployment (as people don't have as much disposable cash to spend = businesses cut back on staff), inflation goes out of control due to the rises in prices - so the RBA have to put up interest rates to try and dampen inflation - MORE people start losing their homes. It is a BIG nasty circle and it is about to hit us hard. I can't see how we can avoid it I am sad to say.

Too many people been living way beyond their means for way too long.

This is no ordinary Tax Dion...in fact it's a Tax like no other we've ever seen........don't even begin to compare it to a GST which is a consumption tax that every country in the western world already had....and should have, rather than the sales tax that was abolished.

The Global Banks will feed off of this levy and lead us down the same path as Europe.

Gillard sees no other way out of the mess she's put us in and hence her stubbornness with a Tax that NOBODY wants or believes is necessary.

She can keep hiding behind a "Greener Future" all she likes....fact is, it's a lie.

She trying to sell it to you by stating that only a portion of big industry will be affected and that any ripple effect that it may have on the little person would be offset by her incentives.

That alone is deceit from the pit of hell!!

No ceiling on this tax will see big industry move offshore and the hell away from this broken country in no time.

She speaks quickly so you may need to watch it twice to take it all in:

It could be worse, we could be living in the US.

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
