Many of the same people who declare that there’s no need to debate climate change because there is a scientific consensus ignore and oppose policies where there is an even bigger consensus among economists. 

It’s more than ironic that the new election rules still allow the federal parties to collect tens of million in expenses without providing receipts or invoices. Meanwhile – the government demands that you provide receipts for even the most minor expense claims on your income tax.

One minute we’re concerned over climate change and carbon emissions and the next we have some of the same people demanding that the government step in and do something to lower prices, which encourages more consumption.
