AUSTRALIA’S IMPERATIVE! REVISITING A TAX ON CARBON!
*Pressure to include discussion on the re-introduction of a tax on carbon at the forthcoming Productivity Round Table is growing increasingly stronger.
*For the previous four months an 'ecological catastrophe' has been occurring along Adelaide's coastal beaches!
* Sharks, stingrays, fish, sea dragons, shellfish, cuttlefish, eels, razor clams are dying along South Australia's coastline: a great white shark on Henley Beach!
*The ecological disaster is caused by a massive algal bloom of Karenia mikimotoi. Algal blooms reduce the oxygen levels in the water which suffocates animals with gills.
*The recent unanimous ruling by the 15 judges of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has very significant implications for the governments and decision-makers in Australia and other countries that are emitting significant amounts of Greenhouse gases through the mining and burning of fossil fuels at home - AND are exporting fossil fuels to other countries to burn!
* Through July 2025, 19,592 solar batteries were installed in the 3 million Australian rooftops fitted with solar energy systems!
* This increases the total stored electricity battery capacity (not including that in the increasing number of EVs) by 344 MWhs (344,000 KWhs).
* From July 1st, 2025 households and businesses with rooftop solar systems installed or being installed can get around 30% (depending on size of battery installed) off the total cost of a battery.
