Green tariffs: unrealistic and unachievable

By Graham Young - posted Tuesday, 29 August 2023

The latest is Gary Banks, the inaugural chairman of the Productivity Commission and currently a professorial fellow at the Melbourne University Institute for Applied Economic and Social Research.

He warns there may be an electoral backlash against these types of federal government policies.

This may not be enough to force Mr. Bowen to change course-he's quite sanguine about the idea people won't vote for him, famously saying before the 2019 election, "If you don't like our policies, don't vote for us."

But surely his colleagues don't want to repeat that performance.

Not that I am barracking for Labor to win the next election, I just don't want me and my fellow citizens to be subjected to such disastrous policies.
