Aussie PM: carbon tax is ‘socialism masquerading as environmentalism'

Aussie PM: carbon tax is ‘socialism’ | The Daily Caller:
Australia’s newly elected prime minister pulled no punches when giving his thoughts on the country’s carbon tax, which he says must be abolished as quickly as possible.

“The carbon tax is bad for the economy and it doesn’t do any good for the environment,” Abbott told The Washington Post.
“Despite a carbon tax of $37 a ton by 2020, Australia’s domestic emissions were going up, not down.
The carbon tax was basically socialism masquerading as environmentalism, and that’s why it’s going to get abolished.”"
