I have to be honest here like most of this govts charity... I dont understand most of it..

this compensation.. I am a single pensioner..

so I will get a lump sum.. just the once! is that so?

I take it I got that bit right..

from then on how is the rest of the compensation worked.?

do I get say $5 in pay paycheck each fortnight?

another lump sum after a few months?

nothing more.

whatever I get its for this year only.

whatever I get it goes on forever and increases with the cost of living..

it has nothing to do with CPI increases or any other increases we may encounter.

I will always be entitled to CARBON TAX COMPENSATION...

What the ALP hopes to many of us will not realise is that the government doesn't have the money for these cash handouts - they're borrowing to hand it out. So it will have to be repaid at some stage (probably by Abbott) in the form of reduced benefits and/or increased taxes. The debt cannot remain unpaid indefinitely and the government cannot continue to increase the debt ceiling willy-nilly.

If it's labor you can count on that happening.

The companies paying for the carbon levy, so to have the privilege to destroy the environment and make Australians sick, is being paid in coal or cash?

How will Abbott slow the illness amongst Australians, being created by coal and other high carbon pollution.

By slashing funding to health?

Are you practising for a career in politics? What you just posted had absolutely nothing at all to do with my quote that you used. You sound like a Labor politician answering a simple and direct question - the answer is to talk about something completely unrelated to the question and hope no one notices.

What about the health effect on Australians from excess human carbon pollution. Why are Liberals ignoring everything that their policy doesn't cover.

Why should people have to suffer from Ross River Fever. A Viris on track to be in every Australian capital city due to excess human carbon pollution. The carbon pollution Liberals want to ignore. Come On Liberals how can you not act on AGW and slash health when our health system is a major part of our adaptation plan.
