This is what happens we you learn economics from bob brown .
I'll give you a crash coarse on this tax
Take for example you wnat to buy some rice grown by aussie farmers
Bascally
Plow the feild - takes petrol/diesel = carbon tax
seed it - again same thing
fertelise it - again same thing + ferterliser cost more because the tax
herbercides/pestercides - same as above
harvest it - petrol again = tax
ship it to processing - petrol again = tax
processing -uses electricity = tax
packaging - oil and electricity = tax
delivery - tax again
supermarkets - electricity = tax again
If you dont think those costs wont be lumped on top of the price of a packet of rice think again .
An this is the best bit the rice that comes from asia doesn't get taxed
Which one do you think people will buy .
