Leader of Opposition Speech - Grand Final

Evan Goldman on behalf of Queensland A:

OO want a carbon tax instead.

1. Avoidance of the going green of old reactors on the part of corporate executives for as long as it's cost effective
- A flat tax forces everybody to change at the first opportunity.

2. Better incentive for innovation

3. Driving down CO2 emissions works better under a cap on the macrolevel

PoI on realism (Ranald): How realistic is a global flat tax?
Reply: Just about as realistic as a worldwide credits system ... not particularly ... ;)
