Federal Opposition Leader Tony Abbott says Julia Gillard's carbon tax is "a get rich scheme for foreign carbon traders".

Mr Abbott vigorously attacked the prime minister and the government's "failings" at the Liberal National Party's annual conference in Brisbane on Saturday.

He said the only way the government can reduce emissions under this tax plan is to buy carbon permits abroad.

"I'm all in favour of doing the right thing by the carbon traders of equatorial Guinea and Kazakhstan," Mr Abbott told the conference.

"And all the other places Kevin Rudd likes to visit.

"I am sure they are very decent honest people. I'm sure the last thing they want to do is rip off Australian business."

Mr Abbott said government documents show $57 billion will be sent abroad under this scheme.
"Whatever else this thing is, it is a get rich scheme for foreign carbon traders," Mr Abbott said.

How much of the mining mega profits go overseas?   

How profit from the dirty coal mines that have forever ruined our pristine farmlands and scared Australias landscape goes overseas?
