Year Zero started on JuLIAR the first 2012, the first day of Australians journey into Serfdom.
A member of the Australian Labor party's apologetics, financial and fund raising division, the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU) Mr Wayne Hanson of the Australian Workers Union (AWU) is at odds with his party's leader, Madame JuLIAR Gillard and her fellow Union GetUp financed Parliamentary comrades on the ramifications of the "TAX on everything".
The JuLIAR 1 2012 introduced Carbon Dioxide Tax has the support of a massive 32% of Australians.
Former Madame Gillard paramour and now Australian Trade Minister Craig Emerson, enthusiastically mocked and ridiculed the 68% of Australians opposed to the "TAX on everything" and anyone who believed that his Union GetUp funded Minority Socialist Labor Green Loon Co Party's "TAX on everything" would cost jobs and shut down industries and services and activities targeted by his minority "Co Party" government.
The Minority "Co Party's" "Tax on everything" is designed to shut down industries not approved of by his comrades in the environmental movement and the United Nations, who, instilled with the help of Green and "independent" candidates, the present Australian federal government into office in 2010.
"Goodbye. They will be off the map,"
"THE state's two key industrial cities will be "wiped off the map" by a carbon tax, a major union warns.The tax would strip thousands of jobs from Whyalla and Port Pirie, the Australian Workers Union state secretary Wayne Hanson said."
The internal revolt from Labor's industrial heartland threatens not just the reform but the Government's survival.
Mr Hanson yesterday stepped up his union's opposition to the tax, claiming the future of both cities would be in serious doubt because both had economies based on the high-emission production of steel, iron ore and zinc.
"Goodbye. They will be off the map," he said.
On Sunday JuLIAR the first 2012 he measured the height of the sky with a tape measure and assured his adoring fellow Comrades and believers that it had not fallen and then on Monday JuLIAR the second he answered questions outside Parliament House and then, well he.......best you see for yourself.

As one listener to radio 2gbcom said in an email today, ".....I would like to see the bludger dance like that in front of an Australian pensioner who cannot afford to have the electricity connected any longer, see how far the bludger (Emerson) would get "
The original Sky Hooks song that The Hon. Craig Emerson used to mock 68% of Australians who are unbelievers / deniers or simply put are not the Pig Ignorant Fools the the Australian Labor Party thinks they are.
And in case you are not an Australian citizen reading the above may be a bit confusing so one of Australia's hand full of centre / conservative writers, the brilliant Tim Blair will explain it all below.
MANY Australians remain confused about the carbon tax's purpose and impact. This simple guide should answer all of your questions and leave everybody in a state of enlightened carbon clarity.
Q: What is carbon?
A: Carbon is a solid non-metallic chemical element. It has nothing at all to do with the carbon tax, carbon pollution or carbon emissions, all of which refer to carbon dioxide.
Q: What is carbon dioxide?
A: Carbon dioxide is a naturally occurring gas emitted in human breath, among other sources. Plants feed on it. In solid form it is known as dry ice.
Q: When will the carbon tax be introduced?
A: Never, according to Prime Minister Julia Gillard, who in August 2010 told Australians: "There will be no carbon tax under the government I lead." On the other hand, the carbon tax comes into effect on July 1.
Q: Were we ever given a chance to vote for the carbon tax, as we were given a chance to vote for the GST?
A: No. The carbon tax became law in October 2011 during a parliamentary Labor cuddling ceremony, which overrides any electoral considerations.
Q: Really? The carbon tax caused Labor politicians to actually hug each other?
A: Yes. In fact, the carbon tax is the only known force powerful enough to make Julia Gillard and Kevin Rudd kiss. It's like giving Bacardi Breezers to north shore teenagers.
Q: What is the point of the carbon tax?
A: According to Gillard: "It's time to deliver the action on climate change we need. To do what is best for Australian families, what is best for future generations, what is best for this country."
Q: If the carbon tax is such a great thing, what did Labor say about it before the last election?
A: Treasurer Wayne Swan: "Certainly what we rejected is this hysterical allegation that we are moving towards a carbon tax. We reject that."
Q: Will the carbon tax make any difference at all to global climate trends?
A: It is scientifically impossible for a reduction in Australia's carbon emissions to make any significant difference to the planet's climate.
Q: How much carbon does Australia produce?
A: Only about 1.4 per cent of the planet's human-created carbon dioxide emissions come from Australia, about equal to Indonesia, and one-eighteenth the contribution of China.
Q: But I keep hearing that Australia has an enormous carbon output.
A: Carbon tax enthusiasts like to express Australia's carbon output in per capita terms, a trick designed to make a very small number appear very large.
Q: If per capita measurement is a method of charting carbon output, which nation is the greatest carbon criminal?
A: According to Britain's Guardian newspaper, it's Gibraltar. Terrifying, planet-ruining Gibraltar.
Q: Who will pay the carbon tax?
A: Directly, entities described by the prime minister as "big polludahs". Indirectly, you.
Q: Is the carbon tax meant to change my buying habits?
A: Yes. As Gillard said in 2011: "There will be price impacts. The whole point of pricing carbon is to say that goods that have got a lot of carbon pollution in them get relatively more expensive."
Q: Let's try that again. Is the carbon tax meant to change my buying habits?
A: No. The government has put in place a wide-ranging compensation scheme that is intended to cover cost of living increases for many Australians, so you can just keep on spending like you always did.
Q: What's the use of it then?
A: Good question.
Q: Who will profit from the carbon tax?
A: Carbon tax bureaucrats, who now have high-paying jobs in a sector of the government that didn't exist a few years ago.
Q: What kind of indirect costs might a carbon tax involve?
A: NSW government analysis claims average Sydney hospitals will face increased expenses of about $120,000 per year. Schools in Sydney could be paying about $9000 each per year.
Q: How will they pay?
A: With your taxes.
Q: Can the carbon tax ever be removed?
A: According to Climate Change Minister Greg Combet, Labor will never support any measures to repeal a tax that they pledged not to introduce. A Coalition government would require control of the Senate in order to remove the carbon tax.
Q: When is the next election?
A: By November 30, 2013.
