Will taking shallow breathes be considered tax avoidance?

Reading the article it doesn't say anything about the Greens more a bunch of academics, and if you've ever been to uni you'll know that the proffessors are pretty out there and have never been in the real world.

Lol.

With all the talk in here in regards to "global warming = make money tactic". Isn't that what everyone else does? Has anyone actually thought of what harm would we do if we curbed emissions, etc? Try living in Hong Kong or Tokyo for a day.

Just driving in traffic gives you the 5hits with the pollution from old crap heaps.

While I agree this article is nonsense. It's not a bad idea to "curb" some of the over populators. Families should have 3 or 4 kids max.

I'm doing Architecture at University, and the majority of lecturers agree that the ability to offset a Carbon footprint is full of . CFP was purely created to allow major industry to show they care about the environment and for individual idiots to feel good about themselves or to show others they are keen on nature. Naturally there is significant financial gain for many of the middlemen.

Green parties are the same accross the world - a bunch of hippie morons who don't have a clue.

They did it last election too, I think the state one in Victoria.

There's still a sign nailed to a tree near my place.

Funny how those who say global warming is a load of garbage accuse people trying to warn us of ignorance and scare tactics. Better than half truths and blatant lies for the sheeple to just keep going as if nothing is wrong.

I love it when pots start yelling at kettles only to find out its a mirror.

The hippies have been doing the same thing for years. Come out with something completely ridiculous to shock people & then when they come up with another idea people would have previously thought was ridiculous it will seem reasonable in comparison so it gets in. It's the same as it has got to the point now where otherwise half intelligent & sane people believe in the theory that man controls the weather after years of being force fed gradually increasing lies.

The govt wanted to have more tax payer so that it can fund for
the future old age people who need more when they are old.

Our current system will not last very long so thats why they need
more tax payers to fund it.

Hence breed more children and don't use protection,
as the govt will protect you.

Yeah, it was a joke mate. Costello is not making this call, and it has nothing to do with him.

The thread mentions taxing more than 2 kids, thus have one for the treasurer.
