All this shit increases the cost of doing business in Australia.

"Evil polluters" (aka manufacturers) will move to China where they don't
need to employ an army of lawyers and accountants to work out the
implications of any investment.

For an energy-rich country to tax energy is insane.

Labor is insane.
