Don't sign.

Dear Sir,

I do not want the government to sign the Copenhagen Treaty in any form nor to introduce an ETS in any form.

(signed) Christine Davitt

I agree with this petition

Not another tax please. SE Asia will be the only benefactor.

I stronglly endorse the petition by Senators Joyce and Nash against the proposed emissions Trading Scheme.

i do not want the governent to sign the Copenhagen treaty in any form nor introduce an ETS , which I percieve as revenue raising and has no direct benefit/action to saving the planet. Countries should be banding together to work out a way of saving the world's remaining rainforests which are the lungs and water works for the rest of the planet. If the Amazon is suffering from unprecedented droughts what hope for Central West NSW?
signed KarenTooth

I fully support the petition. The science of man-made global warming is far from settled and the scheme is ridiculous anyway. Tackle pollution but in a more sensible form.

We can help save the environment by simply growing more trees. This would be far more productive and would actually have a positive effect on the planet. Surely science supports the fact that trees use carbon dioxide, replenishes both oxygen in the air and also the fertility of the soil.

The ETS will be destructive to our economy with no real benefit to the planet.

Can we please use the KISS (keep it simple stupid) principle. Just grow more trees, shrubs, grasses etc etc.

NO TO THE ETS
NO TO THE COMMUNIST ONE WORLD GOV IE COPENHAGEN TREATY.
I DEMAND THE RIGHT TO ELECT MY GOV NOT BE DICTATED TO BY THE CORRUPT UN AND RUDD.

Dear Sir,

In the light of Alan Jones interview with Lord Monckton, I would encourage the Coalition to do all it can to stop any Australian government giving away our Constitutional Rights to an unelected world body.

I fully agree with this petition.

(signed) Jim Vine

Dear Senator Joyce, I totally disagree with Australia signing an ETS treaty in any form. Not only will it increase all our costs but will tie us in with a Global Government system that will totally control every financial aspect of our country.

“To the Honourable President and members of the Senate in Parliament assembled:
The petition of the undersigned shows that we object to Australia adopting an Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) and the Copenhagen Treaty as foreshadowed by the Rudd Government. Your petitioners ask that the Senate reject the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme, (CPRS).”

I strongly endores the petition by Senators Joyce and Nash against the Emissions Trading Scheme. I do not think the ETS will be effective nor do I think it will amount to anything other than a cashcow for the Gov't. Additionally I reject completely the draft Copenhagen treaty especially the outrageous payments required from Australia to other countries.

The science on climate change is far from settled. Rudd and his lot may think it is and if I am a "radical" for thinking that then so be it.

Only this week the sea level has confirmed in Sysney to have risen 1.7mm - hardly the drowning put forward......

I accept the climate is changing. but given the negligible contribution made by us, I fail to see hopw an ETS here can make any difference.

if this is passed in the Senate, then we are mad.....

I disagree very strongly with every part of the proposed Copenhagen Treaty, and am amazed that its contents have not been hotly debated in Parliament. Why the secrecy?

No to the ETS
NO to Rudd
No to Wong
No to the Copenhagen treaty.
I am a climate change skeptic and proud of it..

Dear Sir,

In the light of Alan Jones interview with Lord Monckton, I would encourage the Coalition to do all it can to stop any Australian government giving away our Constitutional Rights to an unelected world body.

I fully agree with and support this petition.

I stronglly endorse the petition by Senators Joyce and Nash against the proposed Emissions Trading Scheme and the non signing of the Copenhagen Treaty.

I support the petition by Senators Joyce and Nash against the proposed Emissions Trading Scheme.

No to ETS.

Senator Joyce,
I support your petition. This madness must be stopped. I support a Royal Commission into the actual impact that increased levels of CO2 will have on our climate.

I strongly support the petition that has been launched by Senator Joyce against the proposed Emissions Trading Scheme and the non-signing of the Copenhagen Treaty. Well done, Senator Joyce for taking this initiative.

No to the farcical ETS scheme!
No to the Copenhagen treaty!
No to Rudd & Wong!

I agree to this petition

No to ETS - would like to think that monies collected would go to assist 3rd world countries - but so often this does not happen. Agree that it is good to be careful and do alot of the things recommended but taxes/costs increasing for this scheme is not desirable

I think all supporters of Ian Plimer and Bob Carter should read the reviews of Plimer's book and also assess how their peers regard them. You should also read the references used in the Stern and Garnaud reports and assess their authority. The likelihood is that you will consider NOTsigning Sen Joyce's petition.

I strongly feel that the Government should not sign or even consider signing of any ETS, or International Treaty in Copenhagen.

Crazy if we sign. Cost us a fortune and the climate has been changing all it's life.

we have to stop this madness now

Crazy if we sign. Cost us a fortune and the climate has been changing all it's life.

Given the scientific debate on this matter is a long way from being over and given that after much searching I can see no evidence that man made carbon dioxide is contributing to current climate change then I, as a Climate Realist, do not want the government to support the ETS, the CPRS or anything that Copenhagen might produce that puts unnecessary controls and restrictions on peoples lives.

I agree with the petition. This Government must be stopped from destroying this great Country.

I support the petition against the ETS and the signing of any treaty in Copenhagen.

Crazy if we sign. Cost us a fortune and the climate has been changing all it's life.

I support Barnaby Joyce in this matter. Lets have a public debate so that Australians can make up their own minds.

No to ETS

How could a government in power be so brainwashed. What is in it for them and we have to pay the price. Please don't let them sign anything without the views of the other side. You have my support on this petition.

Good grief! IS the designer of this scheme rational?

I absolutely support this petition. Rudd and Wong you have got it wrong!!!

simple, NO ETS, which is just another tax, no way. I will never sign our sovereinity over to Mr Kevin Rudd. He doesn' get my go ahead..

I HAVE BEEN AGAINST THIS SCHEME FROM THE START

simple, NO ETS, which is just another tax, no way. I will never sign our sovereinity over to Mr Kevin Rudd. He doesn' get my go ahead..

We support your petition. We need a Royal Commission so that both sides of the argument can be heard. The ETS should not be implemented and the CPRS should be rejected as it will cause great hardship unnecessarily to the Australian people.

I HAVE BEEN AGAINST THIS SCHEME FROM THE START

No to the ETS, absolute load of rubbish.

Climate has been changing without our help for thousand of years. I don't want to line the pockets of rich men with my contribution tax

We support your petition. We need a Royal Commission so that both sides of the argument can be heard. The ETS should not be implemented and the CPRS should be rejected as it will cause great hardship unnecessarily to the Australian people.

I stronglly endorse the petition by Senators Joyce and Nash against the proposed emissions Trading Scheme. Please do not sign

The Labor Party has to be stopped and I support the petition by Senator Joyce. The Labor Party must listen to all the people of Australia , not only the left and activists.

AGW/ACC Theory.

Indoctination/education, brainwashing, fear, guilt, propaganda, euphorisms,
lack of dedate, the discrediting, demonising, and silencing of dissitents and 'non-believers', and, of course, the doomsday threats with the promises of deliverance through far-reaching powers.

Is 'Man made climate change' just a cool-sounding, warm and fuzzy, non-threataning banner used to hide the biggest swindle to impose power since the Holocaust?

As for the AGW/ACC religion, I am a hereict.

DON"T SIGN.

No to an ETS as it is just another tax and what ever we do will not change the situation one iota.

What a rort. Money for jam for some except the paying public. Fight strongly against this.

What a rort. Money for jam for some except the paying public. Fight strongly against this.

there has been no effective debate about the Copenhagen proposals or the emission trading scheme. As an elderly lady I am insulted by kevin rudd calling me a radical and /or stupid for being a climate change sceptic. how dare he!
I support this petition totally.

Senator Joyce
I fully support this petition against the proposed Emissions Trading Scheme.

I do not want the government to sign the Copenhagen Treaty in any form nor to introduce an ETS in any form.

Absolutely opposed to the proposed E.T.S.
Absolutely opposed to the Copenhagen Treaty
Absolutely opposed to the direction OUR Government is taking

Stop the Rot now. NO NEW TAXES. Save working families and Austrlian jobs.
What happened to the fair go we were promised.

I vigorously oppose this proposed ETS but even more so the the Global Government system that will totally control every financial aspect of our country. Pray to God neither of these things come to pass because life as we know it will change forever. These things must be hotly debated and resoundingly defeated in the Senate. This is good old Communism at its best. I can't help but notice that Kevin 07 hasn't mentioned too much about the finer details. What makes it worse is the stance by Mr Turnbull in wanting a watered down version rather than opposing it outright!!

I strongly endorse the petition by Senators Joyce and Nash.

I urge the Rudd government not to sign the Copenhagen Treaty and I am totally opposed to the proposed Emissions Trading Scheme.
I plead with Mr Rudd to head the warnings of Lord Monckton and listen carefully to the voters of Australia.

No ETS,NO signing of any treaty

V. hendrikx

go Barn go, its all good . get rid of this disgrace.

CO2 is NOT a poison!!!! Climate Change science is the most "selective facts" science that has ever existed. If it passes make sure you have a lot of bank and GE shares because they're the only ones who will benifit from an ETS/Cap & Trade!

I fully support this petition against the proposed Emission Trading Scheme.

I do not want the Australian government to implement a CPRS. I do not want the House of Representatives to pass this legislation. I do not want the Senate to pass this legislation. I do not want the Australian government to agree to a treaty at Copenhagen. I do not want to be governed by the UN. Global warming is a lie and a fraud. I am a scientist and I do not want my children being told a lie by their government.

I agree with this petition, not another tax on top of the others, we are already struggling to live.

Do not sign - you do not have my or my families support!!!!!!

I AGGREE WITH THIS PETITION STOP LABOR. REGARDS STEVE.

I agree 100% with the petition.

I fully support the peptition - the ETS is indeed an employment termination scheme.

I do not want the government to sign the Copenhagen Treaty in any form nor to introduce an ETS in any form.

This ETS is madness. I strongly oppose the introduction of ETS in any form and strongly urge the government not to sign any treatiy which puts an impost on the Australian people.

Kevin Rudd should be charded with TREASON!!!

I totally support this petition to stop the Government from bringing in another tax (ETS) that will not stop any climate change whatsoever (if there even is such a thing)

I do not want the government to sign the Copenhagen Treaty in any form nor to introduce an ETS in any form.

We agree 100% with the petition.

I don't trust Rudd's motives. I believe he does not have the interests of Australia at heart. Penny Wong seems hell bent on leaving her mark on
our grandkid's future. This must not pass and I hope Mr Turnbull changes
his mind on this as well.

Yes, we support you Barnaby and also your petition against the proposed Emissions Trading Scheme. This arrogant Government needs to listen to the people and not those who have vested interests and those who will get rich off the people of Australia. DO NOT SIGN>

this treaty is an absolute disgrace!

ross

I do not want the government to sign the Copenhagen Treaty in any form nor to introduce an ETS in any form.

stop rudd i aggree with the petition maddy.

I do not want the government to sign the Copenhagen Treaty nor to introduce an ETS.

Hi Senator Joyce, I strongly support this Petition & your opposition to Rudd & Wong re their push to sell out Australia at Copenhagen. We should be given the oportunity to see more evidence as to the cause of Global Warming, if any. There is obviousley no concensis within the Scientific Community as to the cause of climate change as claimed by RUDD & Wong

I fully support your petition against this ridiculous tax which will have no impact on global warming.

I strongly support Senator Barnarby Joyce's petition against the Labor Party
ETS. Please do not rush into this when China and India are not going to do anything. It may be good for Kevin's ego but it is not good for Australia.

The ETS is not about the climate it is about Rudds ego.
vote it down

To the Honourable President and members of the Senate in Parliament assembled: I Reject the proposed ETS in its current form and in any form. Taxing WILL NOT make any difference to the environment. Man made climate change is not proven science and any copenhagen treaty MUST be rejected.
I support the petition put forth by the Honarable Senator Barnaby Joyce.

Don't sign!!!!!

Rod Dyson.

Stop the ETS NOW

I strongly oppose the Government's proposed ETS. It does nothing to tackle real pollution on the planet. Why is the Government avoiding debate on this scheme? What is it hiding? Why are the views of thousands of scientists who oppose the notion of carbon pollution being ignored?

I am totally opposed to the ETS and all that is being proposed be done by, for and to any nation that signs the treaty attached to it. Yuo are trying to impose conditions upon this nation without giving the people any real idea of what outcomes there will be.
I support this petition absolutely.
EJhZa6

I do not want the government to sign the Copenhagen Treaty in any form nor to introduce an ETS in any form

This would be reckless policy for the country and should not be signed in the present form.

not in favour of either the proposed legislation or signing the treaty

The whole subject of ETS as proposed by the Rudd government is unworkable.No one knows the cost of implementation and as a result Australia will be rendered a high cost economy.Competition as we know it will destroy exports and manufacturing and unemployment will rise.

The cover up & exaggerations by Rudd & Wong on the facts of climate change is a disgrace.
Turnbull's modified version is equally insulting & I will in future be voting Nationals if they have a representative - or Climate Skeptics, if they don't, who will have a representative standing in Nelson's by election seat.

Barnaby you are right on the money regarding your opposition to the ETS. Climate change has been the natural order of things for millions of years. I have never fallen for this snake oil proposition by Kevin Rudd & Malcolm Turnbull. Keep up the good work. I only wish you were running a candidate in Hughes. I hpoe you oppose this nonsense until the end. History will prove you right. Good luck.

I am totally opposed to the ETS - and do not want the Rudd government to sign the Copenhagen Treatu

I am totally opposed to the ETS - and do not want the Rudd government to sign the Copenhagen Treatu

I definitely do not want to see Australia sign anything to do with an
emissions trading scheme. We as Australians do not have to follow anyone else, and need to look after Australia as number one. Let's not sign away any of our independence or freedoms, if other countries don't like it, that's
just too bad. Mr Rudd should stay home and worry about our country instread of strutting around the world as though he is important. We are a very small part of the world - let the other big countries clean up their own back yard. NO EMISSION TRADING SCHEME FOR AUSTRALIA.

I wish to express my extreme concern with the Copenhagen treaty. This is just another tax and will ruin Austraila, economically and humanly. The plan by the government to sign this treaty has not been thought through, nor has it been put to the Australian public; i suggest a referendum, though of course time constraint would not allow this any more than your would. Mr. Rudd why the secrecy? No to ETS. Our wonderful planet has been assulted by climate change, governed by our star the sun for time imamorial. Dear Sir, as an Australian born citizen, I OBJECT to your proposal. with respect

No ETS and no treaty.

If there is an ETS a great many farmers will simply stop farming and will instead grow trees because it will be more profitable than competing with overseas farmers not subject to an ETS. Besides neither the ETS nor the treaty will make one iota of difference to the climate.

ETS is a TREASON of our country!!!

I am also totally opposed to this new tax, no ETS.

I fully support this petition.
The ETS is to Rudd what Kemlani was to Whitlam.
A last ditch desperate attempt to raise enormous amounts of money to hide the consequences of his drunken spending.
Let him face the consequences of his actions.

I am totally against the introduction of the ETS in any form and the signing of the Copenhagen Treaty.

This is the greatest hoax perpetuated against the people of Australia and I stongly support this petition.

What a waste of time, and an huge imposition on the aussie taxpayer, please don't go, don't sign.

I am totalling opposed to the ETS It has nothing whatever to do with cleaning up our planet but a scam at our expense.

I am very concerned with the urgency with which Kevin Rudd is endeavouring to push an ETS.
I strongly object to the signing of the Copenhagen Treaty and fully support this petition..
Emissions Trading has NOT been debated in Australia. Please listen to all Australians.

To the senators concerned, I am totally against signing this treaty and the ETS. I ask the Coalition to vote against this before it is too late for Australia.
I strongly support Senator Barnaby Joyce's petition and his views. Thank you Senator for being a voice for us.

I totally support your petition. Any government that introduces an emissions trading scheme in Australia or binds Australia to the proposed Copenhagen Agreement will be destroying our Sovereignty, our prosperity and our future as a Nation. The Rudd Government MUST be stopped !

I fully support Senator Barnaby Joyce in his continuous struggle to try and keep this climate change situation in prospective with reality.

Let's listen to the rest of the world, who don't seem to be rushing before Copenhagan. The majority of the population do not understand what Rudd is offering as a solution, which is rather unerving and the coalition should have the resolve to offer a full and open discussion with the Australian population before siging off on anything. Perhaps by doing this they will have a chance of earning some respect.

Do not sign the treaty. Do not give our lifestyle away. Do not hurt our farmers. We must get rid of the Rudd Government

I strongly oppose the implementation of an ETS until such time as the full scientific facts of climate change are no longer in dispute.
I also vehemently oppose the signing of the Copenhagen Treaty which is an affront to intelligent democratic societies everywhere and its an outrage a prime minister of our country of any political party would even entertain such a document.
Thank God for Barnaby Joyce.

Please register my support for this petition and opposition to the Copenhagen Treaty and all other Emissions Trading Schemes, both Australian and International.

I am totally opposed to any form of ETS and the Copenhagen Treaty. The Labor Government have gone absolutely loonie on this issue.

Rudd is so engrossed in leading something he will lead anything just to be noticed Globally, He is a real threat to our way of life and Australia"s future.

I believe that Rudd and Wong should read relevent exerpts of Ian Pilmer book "Heaven + Earth" as the ETS is only another moneyTax that the Govt can give away to buy votes.

Keep up the good work Barnaby. We don't need an ETS and fully support this petition to stop Rudd signing the Copenhagen Treaty.

I oppose the introduction of ETS in any form . Supporting your petition.

I am in total support of Senator Barnaby Joyce's petition. I urge the Coaltion to vote against this legislation and for the treaty NOT TO BE SIGNED by this Labor Government. Thank you Senator Joyce for giving us a voice.

I agree whole heartedly with this petition.

I gladly sign this petition objecting to Australia adopting an Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) and the Copenhagen Treaty as foreshadowed by the Rudd Government. I ask that the Senate reject the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme, (CPRS).”

I too am totally opposed to the ETS - and do not want the Rudd government to sign the Copenhagen Treaty. Plain lunacy. We have global cooling. This is one huge scam.

Thanks Barnaby and crew for helping to stop this insane ET scheme and treaty.

Carbon has never had and will never have any effect on global warming. It follows that the ETS. is a Labour Government scam so as to steal more money from the people to pay back their irrational spending spree. To put it in simple terms, it is just bloody stupid.

Senator Joyce, I support this petition. There is no need for an ETS. Carbon has nothing to do with damage to the Great Barrier Reef. It is sewage nutrient pollution fed algae that is smothering coral and seagrass, nothing to do with CO2. Also, Google "sea level in southwest Pacific is stable".

Keep up the good work Barnaby. We need someone to fight for us trying to make a living off the land. I fully support this petition.

Dear Mr Rudd, With the introduction of the GST all other taxes were meant to be dropped and all your Government is wanting to do is to add new taxes.Well that is totally not acceptable. How in the hell can a tax help the enviroment - do you really think we are stupid?? The way you treat us seems you do. I fully support Senator Barnaby Joyce's petition. I also urge the coalition to vote against it.

I absolutley reject any ETS and urge you not to allow Australia to be a signatory to the Copenhagen Treaty.
Barnaby Joyce please continue your campaign to ensure this madness does not come to pass.

I am opposed to the ETS - please do not sign treaty. It's not like Australia can single handedly change the world. Waste of taxpayers money by adding yet another tax to everyday Australians. Rudd wants to rule the world.

I support this petition. The science on Man Made Climate Change is far from settled. It's time for proper debate not another tax.

Please stop insulting Australia with the BS Co2 is causing climate change.
Go Barnaby

No to the ETS - it is just another tax - it will cost jobs and suck significant wealth out of the economy. There is no good scientific evidence to support global warming. Compensating poorer nations will only make a number of dictators super wealthy - the average persion won't see one sent of the money.

I strongly object to our present governments introduction of the ETS. Only a referendum will determine if it'll be supported by a clear majority of the people.
It is well documented that it (the ETF) will do NOTHING against the so called climate change, as we are a far too small an industry to affect anything!

The ETS should be voted down as just another unwarranted tax that will do NOTHING to negate climate change which is completely natural.

The AGW theory has been comprehensively DISPROVED. The human signature (hot spot in the upper atmosphere near equator) is not there - despite 10s of billions wasted looking for it, and the world is cooling despite CO2 increasing. On every time scale in the geological record Temperature variation PRECEDED CO2 variation by approximately 1000 years - both up and down.

The COP15 treaty is a direct attack on Australia's national sovereignty and an obscene impost on every Australian tax payer. The mere suggestion that Australia should be forced to send .7% of its GDP (+ +) to unelected UN officials to be distributed to some of the most inefficient, dishonest, undemocratic countries in the world based on, to put it mildly, an unproved scientific theory shows the bizarre lack of intelligence and leadership among our elected representatives.

You, Rudd, Turnbill, Wong, Garrett et al need to be reminded of one VERY fundamental fact - You are OUR employees - and we CAN and WILL sack you if you consign our country to the poor house based on rediculous Gaian Religion.

I fully endorse the stance of Senator Joyce and support this petition

No ETS and no more treaties with unelected corrupt international committies like the UN and friends. No one has the right to sign away Australias soveriegnty without a referendom. I am disgusted by the idea of working Australians paying a new tax based on questionable science which will futher place an economic ceiling over the heads of working people. The money taken will not change the environment, it will not influence the Chinese or any other reigeme to change their ways or penalise their economy whilst we stupidly penalise ours. There are already far too many public servants in this country, another couple of schemes like this one and we will have a communist economy where the Govt becomes the ever growing predator of the ever shrinking private sector. Baby boomers look out, you can not take your money to the grave with you but Rudd Gillard and Wong are planning to toss you for it, along with your kids future. The GFC will be the next excuse used to raise death duties or some other hideous tax once people realise man made climate change was a convienient lie.

Do not sign

I fully agree with this petition.

For the sake of Australia we do not agree with Rudd he has no right to sign anything without the Australian peoples permission and he does not have that this is our furture he should be asking us

I definitely reject the ETS, and can see that it is just another tax that will deliver enormous amounts of revenue to the Gov`t, for absolutely no reduction in carbon emissions. Mr Rudd seems to forget that he works for us, so start to listen kevin, no ETS.

An ETS is not the answer to climate change. It is just another tax.

There appears to be no reason to hurry this legislation through both houses of Parliament before Copenhagen.
The Australian people must be given more information that currently being offered.

I strongly oppose the ETS as it is the biggest con job since the Millenium bug . Climate change has existed since the day dot, after all, didn't we come out of the Iceage? Where was the disgusting pollution in those days to create the global warming that brought us to today. Then again, Rudd and Wong have either have far less intelligence than we are affording them, or the biggest con artists on this earth. I think the latter.

Sec.128 overrules Sec 51.referendum required.

No emission trading scheme thanks. More trees, more solar and more wind power, but no ETS.

This foolish scheme has not been adequately debated from both sides of the argument and should be stopped immediatly. Our excuse for a Prime Minister needs to site down and have a good hard look at himself. A self fulfilling little #@&#@

I agree in asking the Senate reject the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme, (CPRS).”
As a voter, I feel the government hasn't supplied enough information to the general public.
Until then the ETS should be rejected.

It is far beyond time that a decision like this was taken to the People via a Referendom. It is plain to see who is going to be the biggest winner if this thing goes through and as sure as eggs break if you drop them it won't be joe average. Gore will rake in squillions while the rest will go broke. NO THANK YOU MR KRUDD WE DO NOT WANT IT.

I most definitely say NO to the ETS
I most definitely do NOT want the government to sign the Copenhagen Treaty

ETS is wrong.
Sigining the CopenhagenTreaty is selling out Australia. I do not want Rudd to sign it. Vote no in the Senate

I fully endorse the stance of Senator Joyce and support this petition.Stop the ETS.Do NOT sign the Copenhagen Treaty

To the Senate and the House of representatives.

We do not want this "Emissions Trading Scheme" and we do not want you to sign a treaty which it appears will have the effect of shovelling billions of unassigned dollars to undecided, uncosted, unvalidated projects in nations not known for being reliable with regards to their democracy, accountability or honesty; and which may have deleterious effects on Australian sovereignty. In addition, it will open a futures trading market that is dependent on Government interference and mandates of the sort that helped bring us the 2008 Global Financial Crisis, and will bring us another when the fervor surrounding "global warming" collapses (as eventually it must).


There are better ways of dealing with "carbon pollution", including the wholehearted development of nuclear, tidal, ocean-thermal and other technologies. It is time Parliament grasped the nettle and built something concrete that will be of definite value to future generations. We have a limited oil reserve to think about in the future; and the sooner this is addressed, the better. It will fix the "carbon pollution problem" (whose "science" is daily being shown up as increasingly close to "dogma" or "faith") at the same time.

The ETS is just another way take our money. It has no scientific basis whatsoever and is merely a way for Mr Rudd to promote himself on the world stage. Signing the Copenhagen Treaty will lead to loss of Australian sovereignty and make our constitution worthless. Stop this nonscence before it is too late.

As I understand it, none of what the Rudd is proposing will decrease any emmissions anywhere in the world, the chinese must be in fits

This ridiculous fantasy of Rudds must be stopped!
Please keep chipping away at the uninformed voters who have been convinced that the ETSwill help the environment.

This ridiculous fantasy of Rudds must be stopped!
Please keep chipping away at the uninformed voters who have been convinced that the ETSwill help the environment.

No to ETS!

Do not sign away the sovereign freedoms created,and made strong, by those who built them,fought and died for them,believing they would pass to worthy Australians of the future, including the present.There is no need for haste,there is every reason for caution and a frank presentation of the proposed treaty, and its implications to your fellow Australians,who entrust you to put their interests first and foremost,and your own agenda to be identical. The ETS is a terrible threat to a nation so badly needing a strongly growing MFG and mining sector,not to mention agriculture.Heave a deep sigh, Mr Rudd, put aside the cherished speeches.Go to Copenhagen,SIGN NOTHING, then come back to Australia and start thinking about WATER.

Monday, November 09, 2009.

I support the petition, at the very least until we know exactly what the ETS and the Copenhagen Treaty entail in their final form.

When will commonsense return to Australia. We are getting as silly as the sheep. Why is every pronouncement by a Green or environmental activist given such deference by the media as if they were holy.
This scheme is the silliest but most menacing to our way of life. It will destroy our economy. Coal is black gold. Stop vilifying it and start praising it.

I urge people who receive an email notifying them of this petition to forward the email on to their friends, asking their friends to forward it on to their friends, and so on. Let's get notice of this petition around Australia. C'mon Aussie c'mon!

I support the petition,this is just another bloody unnecessary tax, well done labour party your useless.

stop the insanity while we still can! no ETS madness!

Why doesn't Kevin Rudd put this to a referendum? He probably knows the outcome hence the urgency to pull the wool over our eyes!!!!!

I am fully supportive of Senator Barnaby Joyce on this matter. Please reject the CPRS/ETS.

I endorse this petition. Our Prime Minister does not have the right to sign a Treaty of this type without seeking the specific endorsement of the Australian people. The Prime Minister has not even mentioned the 'Treaty', he intends to sign on our behalf.

I strongly support your views! You need to lobby Malcolm Turnbull to be at least an alternative! The Libs are pathetic and need a stronger leader. There is too much at stake for Kevin Rudd to sign or agree to this. No-one here has listened to (heard) the whole argument.

I support this petition not to sign ETS Copenhagen Treaty.

I support the petition, Australia does NOT need another tax. This will destory Australia.

Do not sigh the Copenhagen Treaty. It will destroy our coal mining industry and make no diffeerence to the environment. It is just another money grabbing exercise and nothing more than another tax on an overtaxed Australian public

I am fully supportive of Senator Barnaby Joyce on this matter. Please reject the CPRS/ETS

Under no circumstances sign this, this is only the start of what they have planned.

I am fully supportive of Senator Barnaby Joyce on this matter. Please reject the CPRS/ETS

I am fully supportive of Senator Barnaby Joyce on this matter. Please reject the CPRS/ETS

No TAX Other countries are not being taxed and they are the major cause of global warning .747 RUDD should trying to big note himself and spend more time learning to manage this country as he was elected to do

I congratulate everybody coming forward and putting a voice forward and opposition to the ETS. One thing I will add is that if this emmision scheme is signed without the peoples knowledge of what it means, then Rudd and to some degree Turnbull will go down in history as leaders whom have committed High Treason against their country. I urge them and the media to come forward and tell us the full extent of the details of the ETS.

I am fully supportive of Senator Barnaby Joyce on this matter. Please reject the CPRS/ETS

I am fully supportive of Senator Barnaby Joyce on this matter. Please reject the CPRS/ETS

ETS? What will the money from this tax be used for? Buying back O-zone? Not for me thanks

I support this petition in the slim hope that common sense will prevail over
rank stupidity.

I support this Petition

Everybody wants to improve the emviroment, but nobody wants a new tax. Which is just what the ETS is, a back door tax that we dont want or NEED.

I do not support another GST ON EVERYTHING TO FEED RUDDS EGO...

I am totally against this CPRS - or should that be CRAPS, 'cos that's exactly what Rudd's scam is; no more, no less.
I am in full agreement with Barnaby's thoughts on this subject..

Get rid of the ETS and also show the Labours Rudd and Wong and other "bedwetters", AGW /CC is not only a crock but also the greatest scam imposed on Australians.

I support the petition. DO NOT SIGN. CPRS/ETS is absolute madness. What on earth is Malcolm Turnbull thinking? He should be condemning the Government not considering support.

No to ETS, what a joke.

I support this petition.

No to the Copenhagen Treaty. How much money do you think the working Australian public have.

Go for it Barnaby. 100% behind you.

No Thanks to ETS

I support the petition against the ETS, but believe we need to go further. The people of Australia need to deny Kevin Rudd the authority to sign the Treaty on our behalf, as there is too much at stake under false pretences. Better still we should not be allowing any Australian Politician to attend the Copenhagen Meeting.

Good on you Barnaby Joyce for taking a stand on this issue.

I am fully supportive of Senator Barnaby Joyce on this matter. Please reject the CPRS/ETS

Until the science in, I am out. This smells like a tax grab to me, just too many dissenting scientists.

I am totally opposed to the poiticization of this ets scam and like any new far reaching tax should be decided by the people and not politicians. A referendum is in order and then the truth will out. Not a chance if the people decide.

I believe that the data supporting the argument that global warming is caused largley by using the sliver of earth's atmosphere as some infinite receptacle is correct.

I think the earths ecosytems generally are very stressed and imost are in an unsustainable position.

However, I do not support K Rudds ETS because I do not think the accountability when these carbon certs are traded will be vigorous and thorough. We will see some very fuzzy equations and balances and no meaningful changes to dirty practices.

Dare I say it also lets the pollies off the hook yet again from making the tough decisions directly taking responsibility in front of their adoring voter base!

i am totally against signing such this ridiculous ets. why don't the government call it what it is. - a new tax.
this ets will do nothing for the climate. how about harvesting the rain water that rushes down the gutters into the sea, then piping it to our country cousins. that would be a start to save the farmers.
i can't believe what is happening to our country. where are the decent politicans. not these power hungry lot we have nowadays.
definitely in full agreement with Barnaby Joyce.

No ETS please

I do not believe that human generated carbon dioxide will have a serious affect on the climate of this planet. And neither do many top scientists. The IPCC findings are based on computer models not on recent observations .Recent observations indicate that CO2 has only a very small insignificant affect on temperature. Please reject the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme.

I do not support an ETS or the signing of Copenhagen Treaty. This is tax by stealth and not in the interests of Australia.

This is a carefully orchestrated piece of propaganda to defaud and deceit the public, taking away our hard earned money and lifestyle.This is not about the environment they couldnt give a stuff. Its about taxing people and contolling the average person to follow a new world order for a few to prosper, whle the majority sit in a lost poorer world. Governments around the world (western) have no infrasture in place for the next population explosion. So lets use another term that looks like we care, Global Warming sounds good! Alll bullshit! Many leading scientists that are not ion the government books have the guts to say the same!

please stop the emissions trading scheme

No to ETS - No to Copenhagen Treaty. This must be stopped.

No to the ETS. The added financial burden to the Agricultural sector will be onerous beyond belief. We really need to think with our heads here and not our hearts. An ETS is not something Australia should or needs to be the leader in. It smacks of Ego-politics and outrageous taxation.

I add my name to the petition to say a definite NO to any trading of emissions. ETS is just another tax that the polluting industries will pass over to the consumer. One more tax that we cannot afford and do not deserve.

At the December 2009 Copenhagen meeting, the global leaders attending may need to consider agreeing to all reduce our emissions around the globe. And alternative energy sources like wind, water; sun must be made less expensive to produce, so that people across the country and across the world have a true option of choosing their best energy supplier for their region. These alternative energy sources are not “alternative” but just another choice for the consumer, they must become a serious and very real alternative to coal, and must be given more than a fair chance by our Governments to be manufactured less expensive, so to be a true competitor with less impact on our world.

This ETS document is of extreme concern & nust not be signed. It's about time Kevin Rudd & his cronies listened to the people who voted him into Office !

I do not support the ETS or Copenhagen Treaty. Thank you Mr Joyce for representing our views in Canberra.

Thank you Banaby Joyce for trying to stop stupity of our present Labour Government. I have not seen any evidence in my lifetime of nearly 68 years that proves beyond doubt CO2 is creating global warming on our most remarkable Planet. I have always been taught that our plant life thrives on CO2. If the byproduct from our plants is oxygen that humans breath as part of our life cycle how can CO2 cause our planet to warm. I have obviously been misled all these years I thought The SUN (the big white ball in the sky contribute to our global warming in summer and as it moved north in winter we benefited from southern hemisphere global cooling in winter. I have recently learned that our polar bears are still thrivin and our ice in the artic and antarctic is thickening again. Our planet I believe still has better control over global warming and cooling than our politicians.

Therefore please NO ETS NO Copenhagen Treaty/s NO CPRS NO extraxes of unknown value. By all Means work on industry clean up themselves.

I add my name to this petition to say no to this TAX

No to ETS, 100% support Barnaby for the greater interest of Australia.

I fully support this petition initiated by Senator Joyce.

No to the ETS and YES to the Government to invetsigating the evidence that the IPCC SUmmary report which gave rise to the 'irrefutable evidence that mankind causes global warming' is in FACT a fraud as evidenced by the Ed Wegman audit which showed 60 out of 127 violations including political interference added to the statements from contributing scientists that have refuted the so called 'unequivocal' evidence...And NO to being labelled 'climate deniers' with its obvious holocaust denial connotations - I do not question that the climate changes it is the cause which is under dispute.
Co2 leves are at 600 million year lows demonstrated by ice core sampling and despite an increase in co2 emissions, the global temperature has cooled since 1998, proving once again that Carbon Dioxide is not a toxic pollutant or the cause of climate change. Taxing us for C02 is irrelevant in tackling the real environmental problems like heavy metals, groundwater contamination etc. Our efforts should be directed at the real problems not C02 which plants need more of. Current levels at 390 ppm are one thrid of levels required for optimal plant growth.
STop the madness!

No to the Emissions Trading Scheme
No to Copenhagen
I do not support either.

An ETS is just a tax from which brokers will get very rich. If we need to reduce carbon pollution (and I believe we do), then set some pollution targets on a progressive scale and give polluters target dates to reduce their pollution level. If they can't penalise them - heavily if necessary. But not a tax which will force us all to pay more for everything.

Australia "The Lucky Country" ? - Not with a punitive tax deceitfully being promoted as an Emission Trading Scheme. Fully support Senator Barnaby Joyce with his petition.

We support this petition.

Australia "The Lucky Country" ? - Not with a punitive tax deceitfully being promoted as an Emission Trading Scheme. Fully support Senator Barnaby Joyce with his petition.

I do not support an ETS. We should put a straight TAX on only the coal and petrolium cartels, after all, they were the ones that stole all the money in the first place, along with banks and 3 tiers of government. This could raise the money needed to move to sustainable power from thermal solar with natural gas supplying an interum solution.

There MUST be much more debate about signing a treaty at Copenhagen. Sovereign assets must be protected for the benefit of the Ausralian people at all cost. We must have the materials to make value added items some time in the future when a proper government finally comes along.

Decentralization and sustainability should be our goals. Down with corporate greed and useless foreign wars.

Even if this ETS nonsense founded on scientific fraud cannot be stopped at the very least the ETS should have a sunset clause so when the computer models are found to be wrong, as they always have been in the past, then this stupidity can be reversed as soon as possible.

Also we should not sign over our sovereignty to a bunch of unelected faceless bureaucrats at the IPCC in Copenhagen.

Don not let the bastards get away with this dishonesty Barnaby!

Kevin Rudd is willing to sell out Australia's economic future.
He does not have the authority to bring down our advanced economy for the benefit and eventual takeover by his powerful socialist friends.
This new world order control hysteria must be exposed and stopped
Thank God for you Barnaby.
Aussie common sense is rising like a tidal wave against these totalitarian taxes, disguised within this complex E.T.S. scam.

I do not want the government to sign the Copenhagen Treaty in any form nor to introduce an ETS in any form.

I am completely convinced that the ETS will not be in the least effective in making even the minutest change to the climate of the globe. Without a shadow of a doubt it will be a huge financial burden on our country and more importantly those of our citizens on limited incomes. Please Mr. Rudd, do not sign this wicked Copenhagen Treaty and cause untold hardship to the very people who voted you into power.

The ETS and the Copenhagen Treaty??
NO, a thousand times NO!!
Mr Rudd listen to the people! We employ YOU!! Stop pandering to the rest of the world and LISTEN to the TRUTH!!!
Look back at History Mr Rudd - e.g...Greenland was once a verdant GREEN place where Vikings lived and farmed for decades, then the climate/world cooled and guess what - no massive population breathing out deadly CO2, no cars, no coal fired power stations caused it...simply the Earth doing what the Earth has always done!! The Vikings left when their green pastures became snow and ice....
My point? This Climate change /Global warming is an absolute SCAM!! 'Play on the people's fears' they said...if we say it long and loud enough they will believe it!"
WRONG!
Remember the Millenium bug??

Mr Gore (now a billionaire with three homes, one on the coast!!!) started the "Climarte of Fear" with lies, let us now with the help of Senator Joyce END this debcale once and for all by speaking the TRUTH long and even LOUDER l!!

As here we have a Prime Minister, when he isnt busy TWEETING" BELIEVES taxing Australians will change the climate of the world??? Hello??

You are a very dangerous and deluded man Mr Rudd. Sadly I voted for you. But never again.

I agree fully and hope that somebody can stop the astupidity which is called "Governmen by Labor" Its crazy stuff .

I'm 100% against the ETS and wholly endorse Senator Barnaby in his violent opposition.

I give my support for this petition against the Extra Tax Scheme

Climate change is a cyclical phenomenon of Nature and not of human intervention. The so-called leaders of the world would do well to listen to the many Scientists on these climatic variations. This global scaremongering on ETS has caught many gulable leaders, especially those at the top levels of government too.

No to the ETS - think employment, not taxes! You are doing a HUGE disservice to all of Australia with this nonsense! Nationals get your act together, stop this, Liberals get out of the road if you are not going to support the Nationals.

Copenhagen treaty - HOW DARE KEVIN RUDD TRY TO GIVE AWAY OUR FREEDOM!! No to the "treaty forever" and freedom for Australia forever.
Kevin Rudd has now been exposed for the traitor to Australia that he is, just by considering this document - kick butt Barnaby!

Senators STOP the ETS and burn the COPENHAGEN documents!

All power to the Nationals - and any Libs that care about Austalia!

There must be NO ETS FOR AUSTRALIA, ANYHOW, ANYTIME

I agree with this Petition against the ETS. Do not sign anything or approve anything regarding the ETS.

Add my name to this petition! I support it!

I fully support the petition. The weather and sea levels have been proved to be constantly and naturally changing - the Emission Trading Scam cant change the climate even for the Garden Gnome who would be God.

The science behind this is extremely dodgy.

Considering that Al Gore was defeated in court and the fact that he has changed from declaring CO2 is the main culprit to now saying that methane is a major part shows that the whole epsisode is nothing else but a ggiant hoax with tax at the centre - of course Al Gore stands to make Billions from this.

DO NOT SIGN THIS TREATY.

Kevin Rudd is grandstanding - a sign of a narcissist behaviour

An ETS panders to the pseudo-science of carbon powered temperature change resulting from human activity. Fostered by poor quality journalism, preached by the lost soles of the left who are disoriented with the fall of mother Russia and the defection of China from the one true ideology.

An ETS is simply a tax ...it will never alter so called 'climate change'.

I do not support the ETS.
I do not believe that Global warming is a major issue.

I fully support the petition. The weather and sea levels have been proved to be constantly and naturally changing - the Emission Trading Scam cant change the climate even for the Garden Gnome who would be God.

I gladly support this request that the Senate reject the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme, and object to Australia adopting an Emissions Trading Scheme.

To the Honourable President and members of the Senate in Parliament assembled:
The petition of the undersigned shows that we object to Australia adopting an Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) and the Copenhagen Treaty as foreshadowed by the Rudd Government. Your petitioners ask that the Senate reject the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme, (CPRS).”

“To the Honourable President and members of the Senate in Parliament assembled:

Such conferences should held at the Central Kempsey Caravan park. Take-away dinners and counter meals would be available from nearby pubs and shops till 8pm. Cold consumption preferred. In the name of carbon economy, delegates could be lodged four to a van. All discussions would be in the open air, night time amusements could consist of watching our local line-dancers perform...unplugged, of course. Needless to say, it's lights out at 9pm.

It will be made clear to delegates that all future conferences will be held at the same venue.

When delegates get back to the ski-fields of Gstaad and Saint Moritz for a post-conference holiday, they might look about and decide that there is plenty of snow and ice after all.

No more AGW!

It's at last becoming accepted that (A) the Earth stopped getting hotter 3 years ago.
and

(B) 97% of Global warming was (is) caused by natural occurances NOT BY HUMAN ACTIVITY.

Unless there's a hidden "Wonderful" agenda Do NOt SIGN.

Allow common sense to get into the act, not Political expedience

The ETS is a dud which gives billions to foreign polluters. It also props up coal - the burning of which is the single greatest threat to our planet.

This money should be spent on Australian R&D and transition to cleaner energy, not on a scheme to make traders rich.

As a proud Australian and also an Environmentalist, I strongly disagree with any form of Tax or Treaty which is supposed to stop Global Warming(Sorry) Climate Change as you now call it. We all know that the climate changes year in year out. It is completely natural and there is nothing that the humble human can do about it. I therefore request that the Senate reject this bill.

DON'T SIGN THE ETS INTO LAW!

The Senate must listen to it's constituants. It is a pity that Malcolm Turnbull will not. NO to ETS, NO to the ALP's strategy to ruin Australia with this nonsense. NO to Kevin Rudd and Penny Wong and the double dutch they espouse.

“To the Honourable President and members of the Senate in Parliament assembled:
The petition of the undersigned shows that we object to Australia adopting an Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) and the Copenhagen Treaty as foreshadowed by the Rudd Government. Your petitioners ask that the Senate reject the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme, (CPRS).”

I say no to the ETS, and to the requirement of the Copenhagen Treaty for "Developed countries to contribute funding to reduce the emissions of un-developed countries". A financial impost, or tax (read ETS), will in no way reduce emissions or change the temperature of the planet. Professor Richard S Lindzen, a key contributor to papers that attendees of the Copenhagen conference have ratified, has stated clearly that an ETS is not the answer. NO TO THE ETS.

The ETS will make no difference to climate change but will effect jobs and our enonomy.

Start looking at waste products for a saving on Methane Pollution waste.
There is no need to Porper the nation for your own "Feel Goods" Mr Rudd.
Even the Danes themselves are saying the ETS doesn't work. We need a solid base to back up Natural Power Sources. Wind, Son and Waves are too unpredictable.

No to the ETS

Fight against this ridiculous Bill and TAX. This is about robbing people blind, not actually doing anthing about the environment. The European scheme has been shown to be USELESS. And why wont any of the Gore Squad debate the issues publicly. Their science is faulty, their intentions are not the shiny things they seem, because they all are CEOS in industries that continue to polute and ravage the earth.... don't let these scamers indoctrinate your children either..... That's another sign of their bad intentions.


No to the ETS
NO to Rudd
No to Wong
No to the Copenhagen treaty.

Dear Mr. Rudd,
I do not want you to introduce an ETS. Climate change has been occurring since time began on Earth. A far better solution to taxing everyone into oblivion would be to legislate for all homes and businesses to install solar collectors to feed existing power grids. This will have a far greater effect on Co2 emissions than any tax. It will also provide work and get our manufacturing industries firing again. Common sense is the way to improve the atmosphere not taxing every conceivable thing in our society.

No to the great global con.

Don't sign this ridiculous treaty until you can provide physical evidence! As any semi-educated politician should know, the evidence is quite counter to the IPCC computer based, garbage in, garbage out "scenarios".

And don't give me the "Contingency" argument either. There are millions already starving because misguided fools are turning food staples into bio-fuels. They are hurting now and we will hurt if we sign this agreement.

I call on the Senate to reject this legislation, and for Kevin Rudd to apologise for this fraud.

Rudd and Wong should be removed from office, along with the rest of the socialists in Canberra, for working against the Australian national interest. I very strongly support this petition and congratulate Senator Joyce on his courage. Global warming, now masquerading as "climate change" is nonsense and a hoax. A ganderous one at that.

Do not evn consider signing anything that gives away any of our sovereignty
or creates any sort of financial obligation for the Australian people toward any other country or organisation.

I fully support the petition against the signing of the Cophenhagen treaty. Please do not sign away Australia's liberty and freedoms.

the ETS & CPRS are a moon-beam from a higher lunacy.
please do all you can to prevent us from being afflicted with these useless policies in any form.
Thankyou

I support this petition. When are we going to be told the truth? It is another form of tax.

Please, please use some common sense. This is madness, and worse than that, Australia is being kept in the dark about it.

No ETS in any form.
This is a Carbon based planet, No Carbon No Life.
Stop polluting yes, NO TAX.
This silly scam to make money is no different to the ones on the Internet, only on a larger scale.
This will go down in history as the biggest con ever.

I agree with this petition. What else is possible?

I do not agree with Australia having an ETS, and I
don't agree with Australia signing the Copenhgen Treaty.

Thank you to Alan Jones, Lord Monckton & Senator Joyce for bringing this secret treaty into the open.
This One World Government is dangerous. The lie brought in under the disguise of fixing the planet's climate is merely a screen to wipe out the constitution & any protection by our law that we may have.
DO NOT sign the Copenhagen Treaty, Mr Rudd, to do so you would be the fool of fools. You would be wise to reject the treaty & govern our country with integrity, truth & transparency, instead.
DO NOT sign the Copenhagen Treaty!

Do Not sign the ETS, CPRS, or the Copenhagen Treaty in any form. These are a tax on our livelihoods and will destroy Australia. The Copenhagen Treaty is designed to give away our freedom and money to a name faceless bunch of unelected people to distribute money to third world and dictators. DO NOT SIGN THESE!!!!

Andrew Rogers

I fully support this petition against the proposed ETS.

This afternoon I heard Michael Smith from 4 BC radio interview Penny Wong.
She has now convinced me the ETS scheme is another way to SCHEME Australian's yet of more of their hard earned dollars.
She was unable to answer any of Michaels' questions without beating around the bush.

This petition is wrong, climate change is real, you guys have your head in the sand and are too stupid to see whats coming even when presented with the best scientific evidence. None of you provide any decent alternative, you are just selfish and only looking out for the short term. Sign the petition Barnaby, you blind idiot

No to ETS!!!!

No to ETS

Please don't implement the ETS, surely there is a better way of doing something for the environment.

I fully support Senator Joyce's stand re voting against the ETS. This is something that Australia does not need and will only become another tax burden on middle Australia, the socio-economic group that is already being squeezed into financial oblivion and cannot afford another useless tax that will do absolutely nothing to reduce any impacts of climate change.

It seems to me that the proposed carbon-trading scheme is the next "Ponsi" scheme brought to us by the same morally corrupt group of people that were directly responsible for the Global Financial Crisis.

The only beneficiaries of any carbon-trading scheme will be Labour Politicians and their puppeteers from the “Big End Of Town” including, the world’s big money men, bankers, wheelers and dealers, traders, lawyers, accountants, company receivers and liquidators that live off plundering from the hard working middle-class poor to make themselves very rich.

The losers will always be the average Joe and Mary who always somehow have to pay through higher taxes and higher prices to maintain the luxurious lifestyles of the former group.

Is it too much to expect Mr Rudd & Co the simply legislate for annual percentage or tonnes per annum reductions in carbon emissions that apply equally to everyone and every industry and set up a Government Greenhouse Emissions Monitoring and Compliance organisation to enforce and fine those that do not meet the required reduced emission limits. Market forces would take care of the rest without any fancy Carbon Emissions Trading or massive Government Handouts to Influential Industries that will have absolutely no impact on actually reducing the carbon emissions of polluting industries.

In addition Mr Rudd and his Government must stop their endless uninformed fear mongering political jabber on climate change and actually start taking some concrete action that makes solar, wind, and other true alternative energy generation options as well as buildings more affordable for Australians.

Global warming is another bullying tactick by the ignorant left to inflict Communism on the free world.

Dear sir No ETS for Australia its the biggest con in our lifetime just another costly tax

Please vote against the ETS.
It will bring ruin to farming communities and add significantlly to the overall cost of living.

I support the above Petition. I do not beliieve that there is any scientific proof that human CO2 emmissions are significantly altering the climate, therefore there is no point in ANY ETS!

Ken Lloyd

I support this petition/request to put a halt to this shortsighted moneygrabbing excuse that this ETS scheme will help save this planet. The only thing that will help save the planet will be to oust K Rudd and his band of misinformed merriless men, for they all forget it will be THEIR children too, that will be paying for this shortsightedness in the decades to come.I`m sure the dust of Pompeii still floats around to this very day and all the rest of the natural forces of our mother earth. No more powerful force is there. Nature finds a way to balance.

Farmers do not need any more unnecessary fees. Sack the present government, before all farming land is destroyed! Give farmers a fair go, please.

I am strongly opposed to the signing of the Copenhagen Treaty and the imposition of an emissions trading scheme. Yet again (as in so many other areas of government!) I suspect that the Australian taxpayer is not being presented with all the facts, and is not being consulted as our country and our rights are being sold out from underneath us. No doubt another hidden agenda here, and once gone, those freedoms can never be reclaimed.

One word PROPAGANDA
Why propaganda becouase its about Gov control.
Global warming is being used as a vehicle to suppress human freedom, with govnment intervetion in all fields of life and suppressing human freedom
and economic prosperity.

tell a friend a show on
you tube called The lies of global warming.
you be amazed

I have viewed the Great Global Warming Hoax DVD and it is just that. The EU wants to know who is paying the trillions of dollars tax on emissions .
Will Australia be fools enough to agree. My family vote NO to this .

I fully support this petition against the proposed ETS.

This is another CON, just like the Y2K bug was in 2000.

DO NOT sign the Copenhagen Treaty!

I fully support your own position on the ETS Barnaby. If only there were more politiicians like yourself we wouldnt be having this argument as a nation.

Anyone who has a look at the real facts surely must come the same conclusions you have - climate change is fiction.

Keep up the good work.

I totally oppose an ETS and signing the Copenhagen treaty. Both will cost Australia dearly and anyone thinking this will do anything to the millennia-old natural cycle of the world climate is deluded.

I fully support this petition against the proposed ETS.
It is only another form of taxation and will not help the environment.
Please for the sake of Australia DO NOT sign the Copenhagen Treaty.

I oppose the ETS and signing of the Copenhagen treaty.

The government must not sign the Copenhagen treaty. There is sufficient evidence that the science upon which the ETS is based is flawed, that at the very least further consideration is required before committing this country to such a significant new tax. The "world government" that is proposed in the treaty has the potential to cost Australia and the other "free" countries of the world their democracy.

Human influenced climate change is the biggest con the world has ever seen. Australias wealth, my kids future and my retirement are all propped up by our countries mineral wealth. A tax that will cripple this country brought in by stupid, stupid politicians who were voted in by the unknowing, guided by a mislead media is crazy. The worlds climate will not change at all by this stupid legislation.

I oppose any ETS bill that vilifies carbon dioxide.
Please don't pass a CPRS either.

We can only hope that world leaders will do nothing more than enjoy a pleasant bicycle ride around the charming streets of Copenhagen come December. For if they actually manage to wring out an agreement based on the current draft text of the Copenhagen climate-change treaty, the world is in for some nasty surprises. Draft text, you say? If you haven't heard about it, that's because none of our otherwise talkative political leaders have bothered to tell us what the drafters have already cobbled together for leaders to consider. And neither have the media.

Enter Lord Christopher Monckton. The former adviser to Margaret Thatcher gave an address at Bethel University in St. Paul, Minnesota, earlier this month that made quite a splash. For the first time, the public heard about the 181 pages, dated Sept. 15, that comprise the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change뾞 rough draft of what could be signed come December.

So far there have been more than a million hits on the YouTube post of his address. It deserves millions more because Lord Monckton warns that the aim of the Copenhagen draft treaty is to set up a transnational "government" on a scale the world has never before seen.

The "scheme for the new institutional arrangement under the Convention" that starts on page 18 contains the provision for a "government." The aim is to give a new as yet unnamed U.N. body the power to directly intervene in the financial, economic, tax and environmental affairs of all the nations that sign the Copenhagen treaty.

The reason for the power grab is clear enough: Clause after complicated clause of the draft treaty requires developed countries to pay an "adaptation debt" to developing countries to supposedly support climate change mitigation. Clause 33 on page 39 says that "by 2020 the scale of financial flows to support adaptation in developing countries must be [at least $67 billion] or [in the range of $70 billion to $140 billion per year]."

And how will developed countries be slugged to provide for this financial flow to the developing world? The draft text sets out various alternatives, including option seven on page 135, which provides for "a [global] levy of 2 per cent on international financial market [monetary] transactions to Annex I Parties." Annex 1 countries are industrialized countries, which include among others the U.S., Australia, Britain and Canada.

To be sure, countries that sign international treaties always cede powers to a U.N. body responsible for implementing treaty obligations. But the difference is that this treaty appears to have been subject to unusual attempts to conceal its convoluted contents. And apart from the difficulty of trying to decipher the U.N. verbiage, there are plenty of draft clauses described as "alternatives" and "options" that should raise the ire of free and democratic countries concerned about preserving their sovereignty.

Lord Monckton himself only became aware of the extraordinary powers to be vested in this new world government when a friend found an obscure U.N. Web site and searched through several layers of hyperlinks before discovering a document that isn't even called the draft "treaty." Instead, it's labelled a "Note by the Secretariat."

Interviewed by broadcaster Alan Jones on Sydney radio Monday, Lord Monckton said "this is the first time I've ever seen any transnational treaty referring to a new body to be set up under that treaty as a 'government.' But it's the powers that are going to be given to this entirely unelected government that are so frightening." He added: "The sheer ambition of this new world government is enormous right from the start뾲hat's even before it starts accreting powers to itself in the way that these entities inevitably always do."

Critics have admonished Lord Monckton for his colorful language. He has certainly been vigorous. In his expos� of the draft Copenhagen treaty in St. Paul, he warned Americans that "in the next few weeks, unless you stop it, your president will sign your freedom, your democracy and your prosperity away forever." Yet his critics fail to deal with the substance of what he says.

Ask yourself this question: Given that our political leaders spend hundreds of hours talking about climate change and the need for a global consensus in Copenhagen, why have none of them talked openly about the details of this draft climate-change treaty? After all, the final treaty will bind signatories for years to come. What exactly are they hiding? Thanks to Lord Monckton we now know something of their plans.

Janos Pasztor, director of the Secretary-General's Climate Change Support Team, told reporters in New York Monday that with the U.S. Congress yet to pass a climate-change bill, a global climate-change treaty is now an unlikely outcome in Copenhagen. Let's hope he is right. Don't let PM Kevin Rudd get away with signing our democracy away.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I wholeheartedly agree with Sen Joyce's petition. Thank you for giving the people of Australia a chance to voice their opinion Senator Joyce.

This Ego driven Labor government headed by an ego driven prime minister is taking this wonderful country down a one way street with no return and sadly Malcolm Turnbull is helping him take us down that street by taking the soft approach.

If Mr KRUDD is so adamant that carbon is responsible for climate change would he stop flying around the 'globe' in his 747's!!!

What SCAM's the Labor goverment and media have stirred up in this country...all based on fear with no substance...what a disgrace.

When Liberal return in the next Federal election I do not envy the task they will have of trying to get out of the mess this so called government will leave behind.

myself and my family vote NO to this money grab (TAX) in the name of global warming by Mr Rudd and his grovernment

Thankyou Barnaby for having the courage of your convictions . Your lone voice has been heard by the people of Australia who have had increasing doubts about the whole climate change saga. Mr Rudd and Penny Wong and sad to say Malcolm Turnbull are seriously mistaken on this issue and thankfully the people of Australia have woken up to their "spin".We do not want to be stampeded iinto yet another tax which will cripple the outback battlers and everyone else in this country.
We say a resounding NO to the ETS.

Say no to the new world order and Kevin Rud's slimy arrogant up himself ETS scheme. He has no friends and he is making less.

As a Horticurturalist when I worked in Canada, they pumped CO2 into the greenhouses to make the roses grow faster. Now is that pollution? Plants need CO2 to grow faster.

As a mother in a single income household the ETS will cause great hardship for my family and with a new baby coming in Feb 2010, I am not sure where we find the money for the increased costs of everything. Will we be compensated for our increased costs? The whole thing is ludicrous to call a natural gass a pollutant. Please I beg you to reject the ETS outright, there is nothing to negotiate except to say no.

On behalf of all working families I implore you to vote no to the ETS or shall we say extra tax scheme.

NO ETS and No Copenhagen Treaty

No to the ETS
NO to Rudd
No to Wong
No to the Copenhagen treaty.

No to ETS, just another tax.

Dear Mr Rudd, my entire family and i vehemently oppose the signing of the Copenhagen Treaty. we feel strongly that this treaty empowers a handful of people who wish to control the world. I am also advised by others that this is a breach of the Australian Constitution. if there were to be a change in Government and a change of heart, I doubt antone would be able to do anything to withdraw from the treaty agreements. Mr. Rudd Australians have not been asked if they want you to sign this treaty on our behalf and my guess is if they were asked, the answer would be a resounding "NO"

Dear Sir,
I strongle agree with senotor Joice, that the ETS should not be enforced. There are other way to improve the envronment.

I am in full support of this Petition and am totally against our Government signing the Treaty at Copenhagen. I am totally against an ETS because science has shown that global temperatures are not rising with the increased level of carbon dioxide. Previous peaks in carbon dioxide that seem to have similar peaks in temperature at about the same time have always followed the peaks in temperature not the other way round. The oceans have not been rising at the annual rates predicted and warned of by the Government. Such rises in sea levels have occurred before. We don't want taxes forced on us from outside by an unelected world government as mentioned in the Treaty to be signed at Copehagen. The taxes would not change the global temperature. Please for the sake of Australia and future generations DO NOT SIGN the Treaty at Copenhagen.

We have just watched the Four Corrners program about the ETS and were quite relieved to discover that many of the coalitions own members have woken up to this scare-mongering and are now finding the courage to speak out against it's implementation. Malcolm Turnbull's stance is disappointing! These taxes will cripple our country if we allow them to get passed into legislation.Everyone will be adversely affected.Remember the GST?? We don't believe in climate change and we don't want the ETS!

no to ets

I will be changing my vote to another party if this money grabbing scheme goes ahead.

I strongly oppose the ETS and the signing of the Copenhagen Treaty.
Kevin Rudd, Penny Wong and all those proposing this have not fully proven to us that Carbon emissions are the causes for climate change. We should be allowed a Referendum to find out if the majority of Australians believe in this theory before our representatives in Government apoted such drastic measures as the ETS or sign anything on our behalf and risk great damage to our economy. Our economy has been built on much hard work by those who went before us and by those of us who are senior enough to know better and suspect that other more sinister agendas are the real motives for such actions by The Rudd Government that has already put us into overwhelming debt in such a short time.
Please Mr Rudd, listen to sense and let Australians have more time to discuss and fully understand the consequences of adopting the ETS and the signing of the Treaty in Copenhagen.

“To the Honourable President and members of the Senate in Parliament assembled:
The petition of the undersigned shows that we object to Australia adopting an Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) and the Copenhagen Treaty as foreshadowed by the Rudd Government. Your petitioners ask that the Senate reject the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme, (CPRS).”

Don't cripple Australia's Primary Industries anymore than you already have!

No to ETS, NO to Como RUDD,WONG & ALP

I fully support this petition against the proposed Emission Trading Scheme.

I object totally to the signing of any support of ETS or the Copenhagen treaty

In almost 30 years I have only ever voted Labour, if Rudd allows this to be passed, I will never vote for them again

Definitely NO to any ets or the Copenhagen treaty

I can't believe that Australians are so gullible they will swallow all the tripe pedalled by the green movement, vested interests in big business, bureaucrats and the Left. Do the public really understand the implications of this legislation? I seriously doubt it.
Good on you Barnaby. You give encouragement to those of us who have been hitting our heads against a seemingly indestructible brick wall. Do I see signs of cracking? I do hope so!

NO ETS !! HEALTH BEFORE TURBINES !! NO ETS !!

I strongly oppose the Government's proposed ETS. The Government is avoiding debate on this scheme, what is it hiding, and why are the views of thousands of scientists who oppose the notion of carbon pollution being ignored.
I do not want the government to sign the Copenhagen Treaty in any form, nor to introduce an ETS in any form.

Dear Mr Joyce
Thank you for allowing us to have a voice to let Kevin Rudd, who is supposed to be working for the good of all Australians, know what most Australians really think and want from him. We sincerely hope and pray that common sense prevails before the impending deadline. God save Australia!
A passionate Australian born overseas!
Therese

We heard today on one of the talk-back shows that Al Gore is the first person in the world to become a climate change Billionaire! Speaks volumes doesn't it?
Has he curtailed his lavish life-style? I think not! He flys around the globe in his personal VIP jet and no doubt lives the life royalty would envy. Not bad for a B-grade political figure!
We say No to ETS.
Australia says NO to ETS.

I stronglly endorse the petition by Senators Joyce and Nash against the proposed Emissions Trading Scheme

Dear Mr. Rudd, my entire family opposes the signing of the Copenhagen Treaty on behalf of Australia and adoption of the Emissions Trading Scheme. I also agree that our constitutional rights are being compromised and ask that you listen to we the people of Australia, the voters, when we overwhelmingly oppose the government on this.

I strongly support this petition.

I for one, did not give the Government permission to sell our country out to this mad E.T.S. Being voted into Government does not give the right to treasonous acts.

NO, NO, NO, TO ETS.

Rudd and Wong have it WRONG again.

Just another back door labor money grab for them and there union mates who have not worked a day in there lives, the world is coming to an end but if you pay we will save it,what a lot of rubbish

Australia should not act without agreement from the rest of the world on carbon emmissions and climate change.

I do not want Kevin Rudd to sign our kids future away

I support this petition completely. No to the ETS. In any form. Ever.

I do not want the government to sign the Copenhagen Treaty in any form nor to introduce an ETS in any form

NO to an ETS

NO to ETS.

Let sense to prevail.

I most strongly support this petition.

This is madness, how can anyone consider signing a contract without proper consultation with the ones who will have to wear the consequences. It seems like standard ALP policy to spend other peoples money and this is no exception and for no justifiable reason. Mother Nature could do with some help but running the country into staggering Debt will make us more vulnerable than we are now. Dont sign anything on my behalf Mr Rudd, life is tough enough now for the few of us still working.

I urge all Politicians to vote No to the ETS, It is an open ended Tax worse than GST, which will be increased at ones whim for all to pay whether they like it or not ....there will be no relief. The only ones to benifit will be those who have the business contacts & means to set up these trading schemes which we will all have to pay into for no tangable benifit.

I also urge the Government NOT to sign the Copenhagen Treaty, we do not want to be dictated to by those nations who have no right to do so , We are Australians, we will run our own country .

Politicians remember ,you were put in Parliament to do the Will of the people, and it is their will not to have an ETS or have the Government sign the Copenhagen Treaty ...... Respect it !

I totally agree with this petition. The outright lies presented by the Prime Minister in his Lowy Institute speech on the weekend make me ashamed to be Australian. In the speech Mr Rudd labeled anyone disagreeing with him as a denier, a conservative, and a radical - all in one speech. The level of hysteria and vitriol on display was a national disgrace. His now famous line : "the debate is over" is particularly precious, coming from a politician. I can only conclude that the bill as presented must contain something that the PM doesn't want properly examined and debated. If Mr Rudd were willing to fact check he would find that there there are just 2900 IPCC scientists, of whom only 60 have specifically endorsed the claim that humans are heating the planet to dangerous levels. Other IPCC scientists say there’s no proof of this at all. Mr Rudd claimed there were 4000. The carbon debate continues, U.S. Senate Minority Report of dissenting scientists has pushed the total to over 700 skeptical international scientists. That is many times more than the number who support the IPPC report. According to Mr Rudd these people shouldn't speak. Paraphrasing Mr Rudd, they are dangerous radicals being reckless with our children's future. Instead of attacking scientists, how about proving beyond doubt a link between CO2 and climate change, Mr Rudd.

Please Mr Joyce you and the Nationals are our only hope of stopping the ETS. I do not want my country to be controlled by The EU The UN this is a tax that is designed to fund the the third world . By the way I used to be a Labor voter until 1996 then Liberal since but PLEASE DO NOT VOTE FOR THE ETS. Keep up the good work.

Don't sign, Kruddmonster.

I do not want the Rudd Government to sign the Copenhagen Treaty and I strongly support Barnaby Joyce's petition to say NO NO NO to the ETS in any form.

I have had enough of this inept Government and their dishonesty and tricks.
I cannot fathom what went on in the minds of the people who voted for K Rudd and place our precious Country into the hands of pathetic travel freaks.
“Become Prime Minister and see the World” should be their next election slogan.
Please don’t add any further injury to our economy by allowing this to be signed.
I thank the Lord that Mr Howard and Costello at least left us in a wonderful and secure position to weather the storm of the GFC……but I pity those who believe K Rudd’s blabber that he and his cronies have saved the day.

As long as scientists do not agree that emissions are man made, we should not proceed with the ETS. And why the hurry to get it all organised before the Kopenhagen conference? In the US 30.000 scientists signed a petition that emissions are not man made! Global warming has become a religion; it is even taught in schools.

I opposes the signing of the Copenhagen Treaty on behalf of Australia and adoption of the Emissions Trading Scheme. I also agree that our constitutional rights are being compromised and ask that you listen to we the people of Australia, the voters, when we overwhelmingly oppose the government on this.

We do not want the est do not sign the treaty

Rudd ihas delusions of grandeur, and wants to make a place in history by being the first country (and perhaps the only one) to introduce a ETS. He would have this country brought to its kneesa while the rest of the world
keeps polluting. The earth has had climate change before, and not caused by mankind.
A definite NO to an ETS.

stop the nonsence bring back commonsence say no to ETS

We are totally opposed to the ETS or any type of treaty being signed. This is the most dangerous legislation to ever be brought before parliament. No such treaty should ever be considered without a referendom being held so that the whole nation can make the decision as to whether they want their costs and taxes to escalate to some unknown figure (decided by leaders of of a world government yet to be named,) in order to subsidise underdeveloped countries. That sounds like a perfect plan to equalise the wealth on the world scale, that is "communism" with a new name.

NO to Australia introducing an ETS.

I oppose the sigining of the Copenhagen Treaty on behalf of the Australian people.

I also oppose the adoption of the Emissions Trading Scheme by the Federal Government.

Please add my name to the petition.

Barnaby - thank you on behalf of all sane Australians who want a decent country for our kids to grow up in. Give it to them in the Senate and make sure this ludicrous notion gets knocked on the head. You're one of the only decent politicians left - keep fighting for us mate !!

" Lord, watch over our Country and bring Truth and Honour into the Hearts and Minds of the men and women who Govern this great Land".

"Lest We Forget" the sacrfices made by our Diggers to afford us the freedoms that are being so blatantly abused.

Return sanity and a sense of Australian Pride to our Government.

Shame Kevin Rudd...Shame.

I support the petition. I object to Australia implementing an Emissions Trading Scheme or any of the alternative taxation schemes. I object to the enabling CPRS legislation. I also object to the proposed Copenhagen Treaty and Australia should not sign up to it.

It only takes one failed prediction for a theory to be disproved - the theory of AGW has failed many predictions already. It is time for the foolish media coverage of exaggerated alarmist fictions and intimidatory bullying tactics of AGW proponents to be thrown onto the scrap-heap of history.

Changes in climate are normal and cyclic. We humans are not significant contributors. The proposed ETS must not be allowed to pass through parliament.

I support the petition. The ETS is a reaction to a media beat up and is not supported by sufficient scientists to convince me that the legislation is in the best interest of the community.
The solution is not a tax based one.

No ETS no TREATY.

More dams and Hydro generation.

I oppose the sigining of the Copenhagen Treaty on behalf of the Australian people.

I also oppose the adoption of the Emissions Trading Scheme by the Federal Government.

ETS has always been a disguise for political gain only. There is no conclusive evidence Please add my name to the petition.

“To the Honourable President and members of the Senate in Parliament assembled:
The petition of the undersigned shows that we object to Australia adopting an Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) and the Copenhagen Treaty as foreshadowed by the Rudd Government. Your petitioners ask that the Senate reject the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme, (CPRS).”

The ETS is fundamentally flawed and AGW is far from proven. We demand a full and open debate on both AGW and the benefits of any carbon trading scheme. The more we hear the worse it gets. Time to represent your country, not your ego Mr Rudd!

As a young farmer in Australia I urge you to vote "No" to the ETS and not to allow Kevin Rudd to sign the agreement in Copenhagen. The future of farming in Australia depends upon it.

I strongly oppose the proposed ETS

Mr Rudd,

All I understand about the ETS is that it will cost me money and that big companies will buy and trade carbon credits (whatever they are). Why haven't you come out and explained, in language that we can all understand, what the ETS is and how it will help the environment. So be a good boy and cut out this nonsense. And another thing, when you use big technical words you don't sound smarter, you are just showing your inability to communicate effectively.

NO ETS

Vote "No" to a ludicrous ETS.

I totally support Barnaby's stance on this matter & am greatly disillusioned by the current Liberals' pathetic inability to oppose this nonsense. We must say NO to the ETS and NO to the UN Treaty

To the Honourable Senator Barnaby Joyce who is looking out for Australia and all Australians. Thank you so much for this petition.
To Kevin Rudd; I say a definite "NO" to your CPRS and a definite "NO" to the signing of the Copenhagen Treaty!
C02 is not a pollutant! End of story!

Merle Garner

I oppose the sigining of the Copenhagen Treaty on behalf of the Australian people

I oppose the signing of the Copenhagen Treaty on behalf of the Australian people

I support this petition.

NO ETS,
NO TREATY

Robert Platteel

Don't sign. You only need solutions for problems, presently there are no warming problems.

I strongly support the petition launched by Senator Joyce against the proposed Emissions Trading Scheme and the non-signing of the Copenhagen Treaty. There is hardly any doubt that it will cost jobs and cost the Australian economy - and Australian taxpayers - billions of dollars

What happened to Rudd`s inaugural speech to talk to everyday Aussies, remember that? Definately NO to the Copenhagen agreement and to carbon trading within Australia.The government will float a limited quantity of bonds and industry will have to buy or trade for these bonds. What then, iif your rural property or manufacturing business can`t buy or trade these bonds. Bankruptcy, unemployment and all our export trade will be the consequences.Australia`s contribution to the world`s pollution is, I believe, to be 0.03% and we are going to be contributing 6 billion,to the heaviiest polluters in China, India, etc.
Support the partition
Use the 6 billion, here in Australia, on our rivers and forests and industry.

I couldn't agree more. It's all the fault of the do-gooders.
A polar bear is a useless animal anyway - the man on the land doesn't need them.
He just needs more government subsidies and drought relief payments.
I mean this climate change stuff is just rubbish.
Head out your front door and look for yourself.
Good on ya mate.
Let's just keep on doing what we've always done, it's worked a treat so far.

Mr.Rudd your lack of 'duty of care' to Australians is appalling.
No to the deceitful ETS.

No to the ETS and NO to any signing of the Copenhagen treaty.
Where's the peoples voice in all this? We aren't here for Rudd's ego trips!

Wham a scam. The copenhagen treaty is a front for total one world government control.

I most strongly support this petition .

The ETS is an expensive farce.
On top of that what we are paying as a country for wind power through subsidies of nearly $1M per turbine per year,could put half the houses in Australia onto solar power in 10 years. No new wires required, lots of Australian jobs, shut down a coal fired power station or two and the money stays in Australia. ETS and REC's are a quick way to send billions of dollars to Spain and other countries, and will kill off our jobs and our economy here at home.

I support this petition

I strongly say NO to the ETS Just another Huge Tax and something we can
never get out of, because as time goes by you will realize your mistake and it will be too late, but what will happen is another govt will have to shoulder your mistake.

Please Mr Rudd listen to the people or this WILL be you first and only term in office, regardless of who is opposition they would be no worse than your government.

Al Gore's rantings and world-wide rampage "A inconvenient truth" was aired with great bias by Australian media (esp. ABC programmes). I do now feel that "a convenient untruth" should be presented to the world to dong this stupid notion once and for all!

Absolutly no ETS please do not do this .

I do not support an ETS or the signing of Copenhagen Treaty. This is tax by stealth and not in the interests of Australia. The time has come for commonsense to prevail

I do not support an ETS or the signing of Copenhagen Treaty. This is tax by stealth and not in the interests of Australia. The time has come for commonsense to prevail

Dear Sir,
I do not support the E.T.S and know that the Copenhagen Agreement is the biggest hoax that has ever been perpetrated.

I DO NOT support The ETS You must listen to the people of Australia.

The Taxes in this country are killing small business and this action will cetainly not help any Australian

Please do not sign this.

Absolutely agree with you Barnaby. No ETS.

For the sake of OUR beautiful country, I like millions of other Australians strongly oppose this ETS Agreement.

Mr.Rudd, do not sign! I totally object to the Emissions Trading Scheme and the Copenhagen Treaty!

Add my name to the list too, I am against any new taxes especially when they don't even have conclusive evidence or for that fact any real proof of exactly what they are taxing nor have they said what they are going to use this extra money for.
We are already taxed both through income tax and the G.S.T. If the powers that be can't ballance a budget with what they already reap then someone else should be doing the job, after all they are supposed to be elected by the people FOR the people.
It's allright for them sitting in their air conditioned boardrooms throwing around new ways to make a quick dollar out of us.
Also, if the top officials can't understand the Copenhagen treaty...Why on EARTH would they just sign the country away... It's abuse of our forefathers hard earned civil rights and ours on a scale never seen in my lifetime.

Recipe for disaster. Why should we impoverish Australia to fuel the coffers of the corrupt so called under developed Countries that have had more than adequate aid from the Western Nations to swell their Swiss Banking accounts. As for the developing Countries, they already have the wealth of the world and still bleeding us.

150 years of records is a joke compared to the immense geological timespans involved in real Climate change,the ETS is another unneccesary tax NOT NEEDED. Do not support this proposed legislation.

BI will certainly add my name to this petition, no more sellout of my country.
There does not seem to be much opposition, heard Penny Wong refer to her opposite number tonite as Macca. Time for a new party methinks we deserve to have a real choice

I support this petition.

NO to the ETS in any form.

NO to the Copenhagen Treaty.

Under no circumstances should this document be signed. Good on you Barnaby for representing common sense.

To provide protection to all Australian Citizens this Copenhagen Treaty must not be signed in any form. If our Prime Minister signs he is signing away the sovereignty of Australia and this New Word Order will have Supreme Power over all of us.

This is another move by the International Power Brokers which Rudd would like to be the head of which he is attempting to do shoring up all the world leaders on his many plane trips since he became PM.

Let us protect our families and the future of our children and grandchildren by endorsing Barnaby's partition.

I support this petition

I am opposed to the ETS which is just another tax and disagree strongly with the proposed Copenhagen Treaty signing. I fully support this petition.

Having studied all the evidence presented, I believe the Agenda of anthropogenic warming of the climate to be the greatest deception ever conceived by man, ranking with the deceit practised by all governments during the wars of the last century.
If allowed to proceed, it has all the seeds of revolution. It will set brother against brother. Whole families will be set against their elders and many generations will pass, until time alone will prove that the concept was a distortion of facts, manipulated by hypocrites with their own agenda for wealth, power and self-aggrandizement

The people of Australia deserve to be treated much better.We are GENERALLY being kept in the dark about the real facts.Climate change is a smokescreen,and ETS just a lot of words.Copenhagen has been hushed up,deceitfully I believe.DEFINITELY NO TO ETS AND NO TO SIGNING THE COPENHAGEN TREATY Good on Lord Monkton ,Barnaby Joyce and others
who are letting the innocent public know some REAL facts & OUTCOMES.
THANK YOU IMMENSELY FOR YOUR TIRELESS WORK,SENATOR JOYCE.

I don't agree with the ETS. The people of Australia should have input into these issues.

Barnaby,

I am Petroleum Geologist and have researched Global Warming for the past 18 months. I have moved from a supporter to an non-beliver as I have researched the IPCC data. I cannot believe the fraud involved in the IPCC work.

Rudd and Wong do not have an once of thinking ability to believe the IPCC story lock stick and barrel.

The ETS legislation will hurt Australians badly and should not be passed. It is crazy legislation. How can Australians be so stupid to support such legislation.

I absolutely DO NOT support ETS - The 'Copenhagen Treaty' is an insult to intelligent people it is all about 'Control of the Masses'. You can fool some of the people some of the time but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. There is a 'Hidden Agenda' & we the people are not being told the whole truth. I had hoped this kind of thinking disappeared when 'The Third Reich' was destroyed. Global/Climate Change is a foolish theory - the Earth's Climate can never remain static - we are affected by whatever is happening out in our Solar System & the Universe. Pollution of our Oceans/Rivers, Air, Food is the problem not Greenhouse Gases (Carbon Dioxide - is not a problem Plants/Trees thrive on CD).

This is just another tax on the overtaxed working public. And what difference is it going to make to our planet? - negligible. I totally support Barnaby Joyce and his opposition to this tax.

Man-made or human influenced climate change change is a hoax.
The ETS is another attempt by a big spending government to lumber the business and house-hold sectors with new forms of taxation.
With the economy so fragile new government impositions could cripple it completely.
Perhaps that is the ultimate aim so that more powerful interests can gain control over world trade, finances and GOVERNMENT.
Perhaps KRudd imagines himself to be a 'player' in all of this.
So-called man-made climate change, or at the very least, Australia's part in it is nothing but a con-job.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR STAND, AND FOR YOUR OPPOSITION TO PUPPETS PUSHING THE ETS/CPRS GLOBAL WARMING/CLIMATE CHANGE DECEPTION.
PLEASE , EVERYONE READ THE PAPERS ON www.climatescience.org.nz AND SEND THEM TO EVERYONE YOU CAN TO OPEN THEIR EYES TO OPPOSE THE LUNATIC FRINGE PUSHING THE GREATEST DECEPTION PUSHED ON US
DR. BERNARD HONG

We refuse my family and I Refuse flatley to go along with this awful treaty and Climate change rubbish.

Absolute SHAME ON YOU KEVIN RUDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

We refuse my family and I Refuse flatley to go along with this awful treaty and Climate change rubbish.

Absolute SHAME ON YOU KEVIN RUDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I as an Australian citizen, strongly does not support the Copenhagen Treaty or any form of emission trading scheme. It will ruin our economy.

i agree with this petition, as our Nation's Sovereignty is ALSO at stake here, with the imminent signing by Kevin Rudd of the Copenhagen treaty

Peter Hartcher - an Australian journalist and the Political and International Editor of the Sydney Morning Herald - stated recently that Kevin Rudd is betraying the people of this country......and i agree with that ! IF you Google the word *treason*, Wikipedia states QUOTE:"In law, treason is the crime that covers some of the more serious acts of disloyalty to one's *SOVEREIGN* or nation" UNQUOTE. Betrayor -----> Traitor -----> Treason in law......

Kevin Rudd in my mind is committing an act of TREASON if he gives away the SOVEREIGNTY of this nation by signing the treaty at Copenhagan in December.

shouldn't our Governor General be doing something about this ???

As traders on the international economy, we can not possibly impose this additional tax on our primary producers to remain competitive...until the whole world decides that this is the action required to take, then back off Australia, because this will result in unnecessary unemployment, and absolutely no reduction in the state of the environment. Keep up the fight Barnaby - there are plenty of hard working, decent Australians behind you!!

The emmission carbon trading scheme is a political stunt, not much else.
looking at all sides of the debate, scientifically proven that it not correct and that the earth is not under abnormal global warming.

I am 91 yrs of age (I have asked my daughter to post my comments). I was born in 1918 & have seen the weather change all the time. Some years the weather is warmer & sometimes the weather is colder. I dont believe we are making the weather hotter because we use a lot of Coal etc. I have lived to see terrible droughts, floods, Cyclones, huge storms - spread out over my 91yrs. The weather has always been fickle. ETS I think is a terrible idea. I think Mr Rudd is making a big mistake. It makes me feel very sorry for younger people, Australia is such an expensive place to live, the cost of living just keeps going up & up. I don't know how families can survive today,everything is so expensive. No wonder marriages are falling apart, to much stress on the Parents to provide for their Familys. I have many elderly friends who are really struggling to survive with the cost of everything & the ETS is going to make it much harder for everyone to pay their bills & buy food, unless you are very rich. Pensioners do not have deep pockets & we have to budget carefully. I get very angry with Politicians they dont care about people anymore.

I fully support this online petition.

Thankyou Barnaby.
Kevin Rudd must not sign the Copenhagen Treaty or any form of ETS agreement.

Definitely 'NO' to ETS we Aussies are struggling now with the cost of living. The Copenhagen Treaty is all about control of the masses. I thought this type of control ended when the 'Third Reich' was destroyed.

An Emissions Trading Scheme is sending a message to people who scar our beautiful country that its ok.

Money can fix anything.

Well it carn't.

Once the damage is done no matter what level of tax or financial compensation will remove their stain from our rivers or our skys.

I support an evironmental protect agency to police industry to keep Australia beautiful.

But never an ETS.

Please register my support for this petition and opposition to the Copenhagen Treaty and all Emissions Trading Schemes, both Australian and International.

Kevin Rudd does not have the authority to sign a treaty on our behalf.
To date he has not even bothered to tell us that a draft treay is in existence.
He has made no effort to fully inform us of the contents of the treaty.

The treaty is so ghastly that it has to be kept secret from us the taxpayers who would be enslaved by it, if it was ever signed on our behalf.

I do not support the ETS and do not want Australia to sign up to Copenhangen. The climate data since 2003 do not support the global warming climate models and the theory is becoming weaker. In the meantime China and India have cancelled out on Copenhagen. Australia would do nothing to change the amount of C02 on the planet, but the ETS would be economically devastating for us and future generations. Lord Monckton warns of loss of sovereignty for the signatories to Copenhagen as the agenda is to set up a one world government. The risks are far too great to proceed. It would be climate madness!

Mr Rudd, do not over-step your authority as the servant of the people of Australia.

No to an ETS. This is of MAJOR concern to the people of Australia and Rudd's election win was not a mandate to sell us down the tube.
Rudd is grandstanding with no comprehension of the future and irreversible damage that signing this treaty will cause.

I strongly disagree with the imminent signing by Kevin Rudd of the Copenhagen treaty ...

Also ETS is another BIG NO from me and I firmly endorse this petition..

Pauline Hanna

I have just llistened to a radio interview with Viscount Monckton on the climate change/Copenhagen Treaty issue. it is now a FACT that carbon emissions are not the major culprit in climate change. Therefore signing this treaty would be an act of lunacy which will result in a World Order which will cripple our great country. Rudd MUST NOT SIGN,

To pass an ETS (CPRS, if you must) is to lack any shred of intelligence and plain common sense. Mr Rudd: I do not want this nonsensical tax hanging around the necks of my children. Even if AGW were true your ridiculous scheme would do NOTHING.

It really worries me that there are a lot of Australians who don't understand what signing the Copenhagen treaty means. Keivin Rudd should not sign the treaty and he should not assume that he speaks on behalf of all thinking Australians.

Mike Brown

I support this petition to reject the Rudd government’s proposed CPRS. And, as a voting Australian citizen, I definitely do NOT give my permission for the government to enter into any global agreement to participate in any carbon trading scheme.
Kevin Rudd, you are betting our jobs, our houses, our farms, our reefs, our economy and our future on opinion, a political prejudice, an environmental religion, based on concensus and not fact. The science to prove anthropogenic warming/climate change is definitely not settled.

The ETS and the hyped up global warming nonsense has been force-fed to the general public for a number of years now. Enough is enough. No amount of money will stop the normal natural progression of the world's climate which goes from cold to hot to warm and back again. DO NOT SIGN ANY ETS RUDD - it will be death to our Australian way of life.
As for the Copenhagen Treaty, thanks to Lord Monkton for so eloquently putting into words what we have all feared - a move away from Australia's democracy into a world government where we as a country have no rights other than those 'granted' to us by a one-world-order communist-like government.
Good on you Senator Joyce for speaking out so well for those of us who need your logical and brave voice in parliament.

I strongly support Senator Joyce's petition. I reject the premise of the science as stated by Prime Minister Rudd on radio that 4000 "white coated boys & girls"
have agreed on the position of climate change , global warming and rising sea waters. It would appear that the Primie Minister Rudd has been mis-informed. According to the eminent scientist Professor Richard S. Lindzen who catagorically denied many of the claims as made as a statement of fact by the Prime Minister when interviewed by Greg Carey on Radio 4bc.

The egomaniac Kevin Rudd, smooth talking, non-scientific, the worst leader of this wonderful country of ours does not have our mandate to sign anything in Copenhagen. We Australians do not want to be a part of this communist plot. Stop global communism!
The best communnist call in the 1950's was: "We order the rain and wind"
and the next best one: "Who is not with us is against us".
Doesn't this mania with Climate Change remind you of these two above?
The Climate Change is simply an unscientific madness created by those who want to be in control of the whole planet. This is bigger and better than Hittler, Napoleon, or any other power hungry monster of the past. Every madman from the past always relied upon the masses following something they did not understand and were scared of. Fear is a common denominator of control over masses.
I support Barnaby Joyce fully and thank him for being an insightfull and strong leader. Barnaby is voicing what the majority of us believe.

(signed) Myca Rider

I cannot find anyone who can honestly tell me what the ETS actually is. There is a woeful lack of concrete information for Mr Average to read. Quite apart from the falsehood of AGW, this ETS business sounds like a political swindle.
Thanks Barnaby and team. Keep up the good work on our behalf.

No to the signing of the Copenhagen Treaty.
No to the Emissions Trading Scheme.

I agree with the Petition as presented by Senator Barnaby Joyce. I strongly disagree with the Australian Prime Minister signing the Treaty and stongly disagree with any formailzation of the treaty by An Act of the Australian Parliament.

Mr Rudd please listen to the people of Australia and do not sign the ETS!

I strongly endorse the petition by Senators Joyce and Nash against the Emissions Trading Scheme. I do not think the ETS will be effective nor do I think it will amount to anything other than a cashcow for the Gov't. Additionally I reject completely the draft Copenhagen treaty especially the outrageous payments required from Australia to other countries.
Kevin Rudd does not have the authority to sign a treaty on our behalf.
To date he has not even bothered to tell us that a draft treaty is in existence.
He has made no effort to fully inform us of the contents of the treaty.
The treaty is so ghastly that it has to be kept secret from us the taxpayers who would be enslaved by it, if it was ever signed on our behalf.

NO to an ETS; NO to CPRS; NO to the COPENHAGEN TREATY.

What a blatant waste of tax payers money, Humans cannot control nature, As for P. Wong, she's so wong it's not funny,
Don't sign.

If this is KRudd's option to Labors Left and a lick of The Greens' buttocks, what is the real blackmail point?

No ETS for Australia

No to the CPRScam
Stopping any climate change is about as likely as changing the weather - if Rudd was trying to tell people he could stop floods, cyclones, etc no one would even listen, so why do they listen to talk of trying to stop climate change (which was happening long before humans learnt to use fire - let alone the industrial revolution).

I heartily support The Hon senator Barnaby Joyce's campaign and completely reject the view that man can make any significant change to the processes which control the worlds climate. An ETS can do nothing. Also as a sceptic I resent the attitude by the other side and the media which tries to label us as anti social.
I can find nothing in the way of plausible scientific theory or experimentally obtained results which demonstrate how minute changes in the CO2 content of our atmosphere can make a difference.
Show some leadership to the world Mr Rudd and Ms Wong drop the ETS admit you dont have adequate information to go ahead and ignore Copenhagen

I strongly oppose the ets and wish to add my name to the petition.

No Copenhagen Treaty or ETS for Australia

From what i have read, it seems that scientists are divided over the issue of climate change being linked to carbon emissions and any perceived global warming may just be due to natural, cyclical phenomenon. It is fact that there has been no increase in global temperatures in the last decade, despite increased carbon emissions.
Surely common sense dictates that we should not enter into any extremely costly schemes or treaty when the link is, at best, uncertain and according to many scientists just plain wrong.

No to ANY international treaty [particularly this Copenhagen one] that has not been put to a national referendum of all Australians.

Why are we being kept in the dark by the PM? Why has Malcom Turnbull NOT been been shouting about this deception from the rooftops??

Thank goodness for Allan Jones & Barnaby Joyce.

We strongly agree with the petition as presented by Senator Joyce.

It is utterly ridiculous and ludricous for the Australian Government to introduce this new TAX (in the guise of an an ETS) as it is totally unproven that it will reduce our carbon dioxide emissions by even one gram.
Additionally, if there is a global warming crisis (although it would seem that there is stilll very considerable conjecture on this matter), it is most unlikely that it is CO2 alone which is causing what might best be termed 'unusual variations' in our climate. Any scientist worth his salt will tell you that there are MANY other so-called pollutants in the atmosphere (including methane and water vapour), which have a very significant 'greenhouse effect'. But apparently we need don't need to worry about their influence nor put a tax on them...!
Even the 'climate-change' term now used instead of global warming (seemingly because since 1998 global temperatures have NOT risen!) is ironic in itself. Do the led-by-the-nose green disciples of the Labor Party really think that the climate is or ever was CONSTANT...?!
I agree with the Petition as presented by Senator Barnaby Joyce.

i would like to add my name to the petition i am opposed to the ETS and the Copenhagen treaty.

i would prefer it if we didn't ruin the Australian economy and way of life to implement a solution that wouldn't work to solve a problem that doesn't exist to appease a prime ministers ego that is quite large enough already.

The ETS scheme is based on a lie and unfound science for the benefit of privately owned globalism, which is determined to take away all our liberties as free men. The International Copenhagen Treaty is a ruse to force a non elected world communist type government down our throats. The unelected members of the United Nations will use all the brute force necessary to have individuals comply with their draconian orders. This is reminiscent of Joseph Stalin and the cruelty and barbarism of the slaughter of over 40 million Russians.
There are 4 boxes of freedom. The soap box, ballet box, jury box and last but not least is the ammo box. For the sake of Australia and its future oppose KRudd as he is a sycophant of the One World Order.

I am in total agreement with Senator Barnaby Joyce and strongly oppose the ETS. So support the petition which he is presenting.

Barnaby Joyce, you have my whole hearted support. Don't stop what you have started....we need your help to stop this ETS rubbish.

I oppose the introduction of any form of ETS.

Please sink any ETS legislation which the government seeks to introduce and force them to a double dissolution eletction on the issue of climate change. Then you'd have the spotlight of a national election to expose the smoke and mirrors behind the position of the climate change evangelists.

The science is settled... only in the sense that there is no credible science to support antropomorphic climate change.

I totally oppose any form of ETS being introduced in Australia. I totally oppose any government of Australia signing any UN or other treaty that supports the transfer of Australian funds and/or sovereignty to a third party in the form of levies, fines and penalties that support the belief in the theory of man made global warming.
The science is not settled and name calling from our PM will not change that fact.

At last an MP with brains!

We've had a referendum for day light saving and for a republic. We've even had one for shopping. Why no referendum on this? Because it's all based on a huge lie. No to Copenhagen and no to any ETS.

I strongly support this partition

I strongly oppose the Copenhagen Treaty and ETS for Australia and add my name to the list to petition against this terrible idea.

I vote no

I vote no ETS and no Copenhagen

The pseudoscience which supports the anthropogenic climate change hypothesis has been well and truly debunked. Time the Government (and the Opposition) realised this and abandoned the whole scam.

I totally agree with you Senator Joyce and say NO to ETS. Al Gore has alot to answer for with his scare tatics on this matter. He's only after the mighty $'s. Shame on him. Keep up the good work Senator.

Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant for a start. The very idea of this is simply trading in thin air. In other words it is a tax by any other name. It is so many other things, than anything to do with "climate change" e.g. another product to tax us on, social change (they are trying to make us feel guilty about using electricity & water so that we will change our habits rather than building new Power Stations & Dams). I could go on but I think you are getting my point.
It is also about time we had an alternative at the ballot box rather than just Labour (notice the u?) & Labour "Light".
Janice

Carbon Credits is an outrageous scam. The secrecy around this little parley in Copenhagen is its greatest indictment. Politicians in the main, work for Banksters and big corporations and haven't listened to, or served the interests or welbeing of the Australian people for the last 40 years. I've said for many years, now, that this kind of protest is a waste of time, but the frustration of seeing nothing but evil emanating from our parliaments with the signing of treasonous and even illegal international agreements without the approval or knowledge of the Australian people has initiated this note. I feel so sad that the mountain of hard evidence showing the cover - up of the complicity of police and parliaments in the murder of our own people to further a political agenda - has been hushed up.
This may also serve as an open letter to Mr Joyce - that if he is as genuine as he would have us believe - he will declare in the Federal Parliament that we must have a Royal Commission on Port Arthur - AND FOLLOW IT UP!


l

Stick it to them Barnaby!

You just might save the Nats, by speaking your truth and honestly serving the voices of those most connected to Mother Earth. Don't mistake the fact that we are experiencing "Climate Variability" and that we need to prepare.

We DON"T need more ridiculous taxes, what we NEED is recognition and political support for the practical decentralised ways for society to live within a sustainable ecological footprint. We should be sequestering more of the greenhouse gases back into our landscape to help build ecological resilience to a more extreme and challenging climate.

Governments in Australia are NOT serious about climate change; if they were they would be working with farmers on smart ways to sequester greenhouse gases practically, encouraging local food networks, renewable energy, decentralised infrastructure, etc.; instead of exacerbatiing the situation by giving 150% tax concessions to dodgy MIS schemes to take prime agricultural land out of production and continuing to open coal fired power stations on the promise of "clean coal" technology.

I am a pragmatic environmentalist, that has been leading by example since founding the Cloncurry Landcare Group in 1988 and have been at the leading edge of hundreds of environmental campaigns in Queensland including woody weeds, stocking rates, kangaroo management, erosion control and plant regeneration, the great artesian basin, rotational grazing, dams, aquaculture, vegetation management, climate variability, acid sulphate soils, salinity, sodicity and scalds, permaculture, agriforestry, biodynamics and food security.

It is obvious to me that we are witnessing a change in the weather patterns; so we need to get practical about meeting the challenge this poses humanity (as it presently exists).

We cannot afford to assume we know the cause of the sudden climate variability; it is likely that the impact that humanity is having on the Earth is having an impact, but i don't buy the Al Gore hypothesis that we know it's the greenhouse gases primarily. Let's hear from the numerous respected scientists whose voices are not being hear.

A Cenralist (New World Order) Institutions taxing the people who feed the world is madness. Kevin, Malcolm and there corrupt banking mates clearly want to make money while destroying the people who feed our nation.

Please don't sell out our constitutional rights. Don't sign the Copenhagen treaty and get rid of the ETS as it is of now benefit to anyone in Australia.

This Copenhagen crap is just another great con job.
Scream that the end of the world is coming but don't worry, I'll save it.
This KRudd twit can't even sort out a few boat people that have effectively hijacking one of our own ships let alone save the world.
IT MUST NOT BE SIGNED !!!!! JUST DON"T DO IT !!!!
Danny

Why do our elected politicians have the devine right to negotiate major policy without any consultation with those that elected them to office. we the people of Australia. Have a full and open debate on television, and then a referendum and let the whole of Australia decide if we want this money grabbing policy to continue. Nip it in the bud NOW. All Rudd wants is self glorification. He is not a leader, Every time he's on TV, he says "whilst I am prime minister of Australia" he just loves the limelight. Wake up my fellow Australians and don't let this egotist ruin this wonderful country. Senator Joyce, you have my total support on this issue. Sock it to em!!!.

To sign this treaty would destroy our country and our future.

Rudd government:- Don't sign the treaty.

Rudd government:- Don't sign the treaty.

As a pensioner I don't need another tax it's hard enough now. We, and generations to come, still have to repay the money Rudd has wasted already, that can only be done by raising more taxes, signing a stupid treaty on something that has never been explained and is a tax on air is signing away all our rights. This is another con, as long as Rudd wants to be leader of the world God help Australia. DO NOT SIGN

Rudd Government, it is unbelievable that you would even contemplate signing over such power and wealth to anyone, let alone a body that is effectively accountable to no one and to which, once signed, there is no way of removing their grip of power. And to use global warming, of which the science is a joke, as a reason is totally unacceptable. The planet has been cooling for a decade now and more and more scientists, who are not receiving grants based on the hysteria and therefore biased, are concluding that it is has no scientific basis at all. To sign this treaty would destroy our country and our future. DON'T DO IT!

ETS=BS. Stop feeding it to us.

I agree with the above petition

Don't sign ETS,I will support you Mr Barnaby.

I agree with the above petition.

NO to Rudd and Wong on ETS ! Let us have a Royal Commission on this and let the truth be told what is behind this. DO NOT SIGN.

I agree with the above petition.

This will do nothing to stop climate change - just another tax

Keep up the pressure Barnaby and say no to the ETS and the Copenhagen treaty.

ABSOLUTELY NO ETS

Don't give up Barnaby, fight for rural Australia.

Andrew Page
Radio 2NZ Inverell

Taxes will not fix climate change.

agree absolutely

Don't sign!

I support the petition by Senators Joyce and Nash against the proposed Emissions Trading Scheme.

NO to Rudd and Wong on ETS ! Let us have a Royal Commission on this and let the truth be told what is behind this. I agree with the petition, SIGN!!!

A terrible, terrible tax which will achieve nothing.

This tax will be devastating to the farming industry.

I am sick of politicians telling us constantly that black is white. We need public debate and referenda on something like the ETS that will have such a dramatic impact on our way of life.

Rudd believes this a fait accompli well it isn't.
Misinformation and the intransigence of Wong et al to hear of anything other than what the government's decided smells of something not right.

There is an agenda here that is more than just the ETS. Part could be Rudd's ego, but, I suspect that here is the attendant pain associated with the government spending us out of the GFS.

A tax is a tax is a tax and nothing they do to disguise it will change what it is.

There are many alternatives to the power generation and fuel we need that are clean and the state and federal governments are slow to support these.

What they should be doing is buying in on these technologies to fast track them rather than have their developers go through the difficulty of sourcing funds internationally in the current climate.
Give the Austarlian people the opportunity to benefit sooner rather than later from these.

I vehemently object to any attempts by Rudd to make us the guinea pig in this unproven scheme.

We can see that we will make no impact on the global situation so why not wait and see which major player puts their hand up to be the first to sign this agreement.

GET OFF THE STAGE KEVIN!!!

I DON'T WANT THIS TREATY SIGNED!!!!!!!!!!!

Give this nonsence agreement/tax the fight it deserves Senator. Well done for DARING to question this arrogent Prime Minister.

I strongly object to the Rudd Government signing the Copenhagen treaty and to the introduction of an ETS scheme. Neither of these will have any impact on climate!

They are the equivalent ofgiving away a blank cheque and will result in economic harakiri for Australia.

To Kevin Rudd

If you sign this treaty, when you return to this country, we will have you arrested for high treason, and held in custody until a trial before a jury can be arranged, according to law.

If we can't find a cop with the guts to arrest you, we will do it ourselves with a CITIZENS' ARREST. This will be the first time in the history of Australia that a "Prime Minister" has been arrested.

Congratulations, you are making history Kevin! on

Don't sell out our country. Do not commit to the ETS

31,000 prominent scientists signed the Oregan Petition in 2008.

It stated that there was no scientific evidence that human emissions had any impact on the climate.

The ETS is a complete waste of time and money.

No ETS. This is nothing more than Rudd securing green votes at the next election and an attempt to pay off his reckless debt. IT WILL NOT WORK.

ETS is a complete waste of time and money.

It will be detriemental to the Australian economy.

Rudd is a complete moron.

I stronglly endorse the petition by Senators Joyce and Nash against the proposed Emissions Trading Scheme and the non signing of the Copenhagen Treaty

Mr Rudd --You are a Traitor to Australia if you sign us up to an ETS

I stronglly endorse the petition by Senators Joyce and Nash against the proposed Emissions Trading Scheme and the non signing of the Copenhagen Treaty

Congratulations on your brave stand against this climate change nonsense. Anyone with only just a modicum of scientific knowledge will recognize it for what it is - a scam! In the Australian National Interest the Government must not sign anything at the Copenhagen conference

We need more politicians with guts, like Barnaby Joyce, don't saddle us with yet another tax we can't afford. So called "Global Warming" is the second biggest con of all time.

I support this petition. Sure we can clean up our act but the ETS wont have any impact on climate change. It will severely impact our standard of living. Instead of setting the benchmark, Mr Rudd will make Australia a laughing stock.

To theHonorable Members of The Australian Senate:Dear Members, I bring to your attention that the third country to launch a satellite was Australia. It measured the Earth's albedo - the energy our earth is sending out into space. I further refer you to the interview of Lord Monckton by Alan Jones in which current measurements of the earth's albedo clearly indicate the claimed man made "Global Warming" is untrue. Hence a carbon tax is not necessary. Iit would be a huge burden to Australians for no reason. It is not in Australia's interest and I ask that Senators who care about our Country reject this bill outright.
Further in light of the revelations made by Lord MoncKton to Alan Jones it appears that the Copenhagen Conference uses "Climate Change" as an excuse to get World Leaders together to sign a treaty that would take away National Soverienty and put us under a ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT run by the J Communist United Nations. This cannot be in Australia or any other Countries inerest. Hence I request Honourable Members of the Senate to forbid Prime Minister Kevin Rudd to sign any thing at all at Copenhagen for such action would be treason. I have been told that TREASON has been taken from the Statute Books. That is not possible.
Finally: should these matters happen I wish it to be known by you all that I do not accept that Prime Minister Kevin Rudd can sign away our National Soveriegnty on my be half.The Prime Minister claims to be a Christian: It is time he studied The Scriptures.

Thank God we have a person like Barnaby who stands up for the Australian people and exposes the Rudd government, in my opinion, as one of the most deceitful governments our country has experienced. The ETS is nothing more than a redistribution of wealth from rich to poorer countries. It has absolutely nothing to do with climate change. Human emissions accounts for 15 parts of 1 million parts. A drop in the ocean.

I support this petition, and I do NOT support the governments attempts to force the ETS on us the people. As far as I am concerned AGW is a shameless fraud being pushed by dishonest politicians whose motivation extends no further than scoring cheap, shallow political points at the expense of our nations future prosperity.

No ETS. No way. No how.

I stronglly endorse the petition by Senators Joyce and Nash against the proposed Emissions Trading Scheme and the non signing of the Copenhagen Treaty

I also support the petition for NO ETS and certainly NO TREATY in Copenhagen. With Mr. Rudd and Penny Wrongg!! our beautiful country will be ruined.

Don't sign - we don't need any more taxes

A very strong no to an ETS and signing of the Copenhagen Treaty.

If Mr. Rudd did more research and less flying around the world he would realise that this proposal is going to bury industry and agriculture in this great country of ours. I fully support this petition. By the way, if he needs to introduce a new tax to pay the countrys debt, tax the city folk, not us in the country.

Please add me to this petition. I totally oppose the whole carbon scheme. It is based upon bad science.. I'TS NOT BASED UPON ANY SCIENCE.

Philip Madsen

INVENT A SCARE!!!!

This is a scare campaign of global proportions whose subject is taken up in an impassioned way by all those who want a better world but what it's actually designed to do is create a World Government to make decisions supposedly in our best interest.

I have just heard Alan Jones' inteview with Lord Monckton where he spells out in chilling terms what signing this treaty actually means.
A World Government to be created whose powers will include the
ECONOMIC
FINANCIAL
TAX and
ENVIRONMENTAL control of the countries who sign this treaty.

This will be bigger than the EU and will have the power to go over the head of elected governments to impose its will.

THERE IS NO GET OUT CLAUSE ONCE SIGNED!!!!

ONCE IN THAT'S IT!!!!

THEY WANT CONTROL OF ALL FREE MARKETS!!!!

THIS WILL BE A COMMUNIST DICTATORSHIP!


They can take over our constitution!

There is not one mention in this document about elections, ballots, referenda etc.

You can't access a copy of the document!

Rudd hasn't mentioned anything about it in the last 6 months yet it's almost upon us!

WHERE IS THE DOCUMENT FOR US TO VIEW?
WHY HAVEN'T WE BEEN SHOWN WHAT IT ENTAILS?

Recent studies concluded that the human contribution to global warming was only 1/6th of total emissions of CO2 and the gases were escaping our atmosphere at about the same level as they always have.

PLEASE EXPLAIN!!!!

A defintite no to ETS & definetly no decision to be made before the mighty trip to Copenhagen to sign a Treaty??????????

This action by the Rudd Government is driven by devoutism rather than science. Do not sign this treaty.

I support the petition

I support the position outlined in the petition.

I likewise support the position outlined in the position

i agree with Brian McDermott's comment (Tuesday, November 10, 2009 5:58 AM) and Denis Wilfred Collins' comment (Tuesday, November 10, 2009 6:20 AM) that what Kevin Rudd is doing by signing this Copenhagen treaty *could be* construed as TREASON.

Google the word treason ! The Copenhagen Treaty is nothing more than the signing off of Australia's sovereignty for the imminent formation of a One World Government.

thank you Barnaby Joyce for letting us AUSTRALIANS sign your petition and airing our comments.

Rob

Please add me to this petition as I think it will ruin a lot of us country folk & eventually will end up hitting the city folk as well.....

In the clear knowledge that Global Warming is nothing but an excuse to bring on World Government it should be resisted at all cost.
Those who act against the interests of Australia and its people are acting "Treasonously".
We need leaders who must be able to be brought to account ... before they can enact such criminal changes to our rights and unique "Freedoms" in this country !

Instead of KRudd parading around on the world stage making out he is something special, he should be doing what is best for Australia. We must not go ahead with this ETS scheme.

This ETS will cripple the country. It is just another tax and there is still far too much doubt that climate change is even happening. Wasn't it global warming not that long ago !!!!!!!!!!!

To the Honourable President and members of the Senate in Parliament assembled:

The petition of the undersigned shows that we object to Australia adopting an Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) and the Copenhagen Treaty as foreshadowed by the Rudd Government. Your petitioners ask that the Senate reject the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme, (CPRS).”

We must not sign the UN Copenagen Treaty on Climate Change. The amount of 0.7% of GDP to be given away annually to governments of doubtful reputation and penalties of 10 time the price of carbon are too much to pay in the light of the doubtful science of Climate change

We are being led by a Prime Minister is more concerned about his image in world affairs, than what is the best thing for Australia.
Why hasn't the PM had copies of the planned ETS and the proposed Copenhagan Treaty distributed to every Australian community? It can only be that he knows there would be national outrage if the details were revealed

Malcolm Turnbull is wrong to support Labor,s ETS. Debate and opposition have been supressed, computer modelling dubious and the ETS is nothing but another tax and transfer of wealth which Australia cannot afford.

We should be trying to conserve energy but as I understand the ETS, it seems more like a tax. On my behalf, please reject the CPRS.

This ETS scheme is ludicrous, reject it out of hand Australia, before it is too late. Man made climate change is garbage!

I see the ETS as an excuse to extort more taxes out of us and the Copenhagen Treaty as a bid for world control. I oppose both. No to both.

I wonder what Rudd & co are doing to even be considering these things in the name of the Australian peo;le, whose interests they are supposed to be serving and who are being deliberately kept ignorant of what is going on.

Do not sign this treaty.

This ETS scheme and accompanying tax will destroy Australia's economy, with no way back.

Signing would cost us heaps.

A BIG NO to the ETS, CPRS, or the Copenhagen Treaty in any form. These are a tax on our livelihoods and will destroy Australia. The Copenhagen Treaty is designed to give away our freedom and money to a name faceless bunch of unelected people to distribute money to third world and dictators
Senator Joyce thank you

This whole push from canberra is consistent with how the communists operate. No more taxes it is difficult to manage now for older Australians, and definitely no signing of treaties to a world government.

Do not sign this treaty.

No ETS, Australia's contribution should be commensurate with our emissions, 1.4% of stuff all.

The first and most imoportant duty of a person operating under a power of attorney is explicit. The power of attorney must always act in the best interests of the person giving the power.
Please Mr Rudd do not sign the treaty. You will automatically be stripped of your powers at the next election.

This is just a way to grab more tax, set up a central global government and re-distribute wealth around the world. The idea that man would be able to reduce the temperature of the planet and stop what is essentially a natural change to our world's climate is laughable. You might as well try to reverse the earths rotation. Malcolm Turnbull is wrong supporting this scheme in any way. I believe he might be in the wrong party.

This is more than just another tax. "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing". Don't sign it

Do not become a party to this insane proposal.

Do not become a party to this insane proposal.

Do not become a party to this insane proposal.

Do not sign.

Man made global warming is a cult not a scientific fact. Signing this "treaty" and imposing an ETS is a lemming like response to a fallacy.

I am totally opposed to the wealth of this Country being wasted on the man made Global Change fraud.

Dear Sirs, I object to Australia adopting an Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) and the Copenhagen Treaty as foreshadowed by the Rudd Government. Your petitioners ask that the Senate reject the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme, (CPRS).”

No to ETS

Politicians need to stand up for what they believe, not agree to this ETS because they fear a double dissolution. Climate change is designed to transfer wealth from the west to 3rd world countries. We will become totally unviable, burdened by this extra tax. More jobs will go overseas and our mining and farming will move to countries not bound by the Copenhagen Treaty. Where do these "lefties" think Australia's money will come from then? DON'T SIGN!!!

I am against the Copenhagen agreement that I have been reading about. I dont think that it is a wholly man made problem and am certain that the money sought could be more productively spent in this country by the Government I help to choose.

No to ETS

Unverifiable theoretical studies are being used to justify the spending of much needed resources.

I strongly object to Australia being involved in an ETS. Other countries are much bigger polluters than we are and the Copenhagen Treaty will not lower emissions. Mr Rudd - please do not sign it.

I petition the Senate to reject the ETS tax outright.

Australia holds the majority of the World's uranium and nuclear power plants are significantly safer now.

I call on the Rudd Government to actually reduce carbon emissions by closing down coal-fired power stations as they build nuclear power stations ($3b each), and bring other alternate energy sources (geothermal, solar, wind etc.) online.

With just over 400 nuclear power stations world-wide, it seems odd that the country with the most uranium doesn't have even one.

190 nations met for 2 weeks in Bangkok and could not find agreement on Climate Change. WHY then is Kevin 747 rushing us to a massive tax and to a treaty that will destroy Australia as a SOVEREIGN nation.
For my grandchildren's sake I say NO.

I support Barnaby Joyce and any other politician who stands against the treaty being signed. I support this petition.

I fully support the petition, there is absolutely no need for ETS, its a knee jerk reaction aimed at more taxes. With living expenses sky rocketing we have had enough. Think Mr Rudd who do you think we will vote for in the next election??

Reject the ETS.

Don't sign this ETS proposal. It is insane, costly & seems it will be rejected by most countries. What is the sense & what is the rush? Something constructive needs to be done for our country not this ficticious drivel. The climate change is natural & been going on since creation & emissions have been here all along, probably no worse than age of the Dinosaurs if the truth is known.

Wanda Deans

LIke many other thinking Australians I oppose the ETS and in fact do not believe that high CO2 levels is causing global warming. It seems to me with approx a decade of global cooling now recorded that the jury is still out amongst the scientiific community and media hype on whether we are experiencing global warming or just a cyclical change of wheather.

I agree with others above that we should be investing in reducing pollutuiion and planting more trees but it seems to me that an ETS does little if anything to reduce pollution and places a hugh burden on the taxpayer with little benefit and once introduced, with the government sure to reap some more taxes from its introduction, we will never see it removed.

I am also completely opposed to rushing to sign the Copenhagen treaty as it seems to have much more than a worrld pollution reducing agenda and I cannot fathom why Kevin Rudd, who obviously is an intelligent person, is rushing to take us down this road. Maybe he is looking towards a high ranking UN position after politics in Australia???

Why do governments, local, state and Federal always impose taxes when they are trying to stop the use of something. e.g. Sydney Harbour tunnel in peak hour - put the cost up in peak hour.Why didn't they put the cost down out of peak hour? ETS - tax it so people do use as much? It boggles me. In business, for best impact you incentivise not punish. Could these people actually run a successful business such as our country?? Obviously not. Look at the debt already.

Don't sign this ETS government proposal. This country can't afford the costs it will incur on everything as it is we are in hoc for years to come. Our grandchildren & their children will be forever footing the costs.

Harold Deans

if any thing this has been like this for hundreds of years I agree we need not to sign the E T S. this Rudd and his mob - government have got no idea what so ever it is so unbelievable what they are doing they haven't a brain to bless themselves with I think they are only one rung above lathan and he was bad.

Dont sign this ETS before a hell of a lot more discussion & SCIENTIFIC input, Polititions dont know anything about the science.... they just follow all the other leaders to be trendy ...........If u Wanna ....Go Clean !!! Go Green!!!.... Go NUCLEAR !!!!

Rudd is selling us up the river with no consultation with the people of Australia. Shame!

I support Barnaby Joyce and any other politician who stands against the treaty being signed and any ETS tax scam. I support this petition.

Science is about to show that carbon emissions are not the cause of climate change. Does Kevin Rudd know what he is signing in Copenhagen? He is signing us up into agreeing to belong to a One World Government, nothing to do with climate change and carbon emissions.
The following site is also a great report.
http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/no-smoking-hot-spot/story-e6frg73o-1111116945238

We certainly don't want the Government to sign this ETS, as it is simply another tax and won't improve the pollution. We can't afford this scheme and we will all be paying for it for years to come.

Denis & Judy Ireland

Why do Australians have to surrender their sovereignty and freedoms to an international oligarchy in order to "clean up their own backyard"?

Are Australians not capable of attending to their own problems (this time a 'climate change' scare [scam]) without surrendering their destiny to an international oligarchy?

Mr. Rudd, you do not have ANY authority to sign us further into this NWO....

climate change runs in cycles as it has forever and this is trying to raise tax by instilling fear in people. this crap comes in companys will just go offshore where there will be no restrictions. you stick to your guns barnaby ordinary aussies need a voice.

This whole issue is nothing but a huge con and tax grab. Mr Rudd is so hell bent on pushing his ideology merely to feed his ego and no one elses. Mr Rudd want's to be seen as a world leader and nothing much else. So far he has done very little if anything of substance to improve Australia and Australians , failing health, third world road transport, and many , many unfulfilled promises. I am concerned at the way he is manipulating and dictating to this this nation, even going so far as to gag some CSIRO Scientists or any other governmental agency who have evidence that global warming isn't happeneing !!!! now that's a worry, he has surrounded himself with condescending yes men and woe betide if any of his "Staff" of which nearly 50% have resigned, I wonder why ??? ,have opinions that differ to his on this subject .We have what can be ebst described as the best show pony in this nation's history, that about sums up our fearless leader.
Good onya Barnaby

Vote no to ETS

Do not allow this new tax.How will it help our environment by buying carbon credits from other countries eg Brazil who is destroying its rain forest to plant palm oil trees for European countries and they then can continue polluting because they have purchased carbon credits ? How does this improve out environment to live if we do the same? Wake up!

Its hypotrical. Sell coal to make carbon dioxide increase out population, to increase out carbon footprint makes it all appear like another tax grab worse than the GST.

I strongly object to Australia being involved with an ETS !

I object to the ETS the CPRS and the Copenhagen Treaty. We should NOT sign it. Climate change due to human activity is BAD SCIENCE and has never been proven. I support renewable energy and cleaning up pollution, not because of climate change but because it is being a good steward of our environment. We are not causing the world's climate to change through any of our pollution. I don't consider carbon and methane emissions to be polluting, neither are they causing our climate to change. What we call climate change is only the visible evidence of known solar cycles with a period of several hundred years.

I fully reject the ETS due to the whole premise of anthropogenic global warming being now disproven by NASA etc. I reject the socialist agenda underlying the signing ANY treaty by Labour at Copenhagen - Wake up Australia and understand what this Labour Government's agenda is and soundly reject and try to prevent the damage that they will inflict on future generations to come, with the enactment of an ETS and active participation at Copenhagen. The IPCC should be disbanded based on the flawed science that they are perpetuating.....bad propaganda based on bad science..

I oppose the signing of the ETS.

I support Barnaby Joyce in objecting to any signing on behalf of Australia at Copenhagen and request that an ETS not be signed.

Congratulations Barnaby for making a stand!! Well done and we are behind you 100%. DO NOT SIGN.

There should be no carbon trading scheme. Weather patterns are becoming erratic but there is credible evidence that we are not causeing it. But as usual governments will do anything to grab a hidden tax. If the majority of the country is so worried let them go and spend the $30000 or so to solar power their house or buy an electric car but doubling the price of electricity won't make anyone stop using it. or instead of borrowing money to build school buildings and other useless projects which won't create jobs after the schemes are completed the government could of used the money to further subsidise solar or nuclear power which is proven to be safe now. Although I am against any government involvement generally but in this case we have no choice. The ETS will cost jobs and masively raise the cost of living, it will raise taxes for the government and make a handful of carbon traders wealthy, once again it is the non productive areas of the community that will benefit the most at the expense of the producing community.

I say no to signing of the treaty wait for the meeting at Copenhagen Rudd and Wong make a good pair they both speak manderin and are not telling us what the cost will be for our children.

I support this petition on ETS 100%.
A definite NO to the Copenhagen Treaty

I urge the Senate to vote down any bill trying to impose an ETS tax on the Australian electorate and support Barnaby Joyce in his endeavours to educate the public to the dangers of such a tax.

Do not sign

We don't need to rush into this, there needs to be alot more discussion about this, there are plently of views differing from the governments stance.
I for one don't want to be paying higher taxs,fees etc if the rest of the world is not on board as well.
Mr Rudds haste in this matter makes me very suspicious.

“To the Honourable President and members of the Senate in Parliament assembled:
The petition of the undersigned shows that we object to Australia adopting an Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) and the Copenhagen Treaty as foreshadowed by the Rudd Government. Your petitioners ask that the Senate reject the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme, (CPRS).”

Rudd's CPRS + Copenhagen = a surefire way to impoverish our great nation.

Please do not sign this treaty.

Enough is enough - Its a no to the Treaty. Climate change is the biggest money making deception of the century.

Don't sign

To the Honourable President and members of the Senate in Parliament assembled:
The petition of the undersigned shows that I object to Australia adopting an Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) and the Copenhagen Treaty as foreshadowed by the Rudd Government. Your petitioners ask that the Senate reject the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme, (CPRS).

I stronglly endorse the petition by Senators Joyce and Nash against the proposed emissions Trading Scheme and the signing of the Copenhagen Treaty.

I petition the Senate to reject the ETS tax outright.

Wake up to your self Kevin

We believe that the Liberal Party SHOULD NOT NEGOTIATE with the PM
on man made global warming - period.
The majority of Australians DO NOT AGREE with this so called man made global
warming drivel.
The polls supporting this are pure spin.
Australians want an alternative position to Labor on ETS/COPENHAGEN/GLOBAL
WARMING issues.
Currently The Liberals are betraying the conservative voters of Australia.
They seem to be Labor stooges.

The only party which currently supports the majority of us is the NATIONAL PARTY!!!

The Liberals ought to go out and speak and listen to Australians, instead of
listening to the very vocal and radical MINORITY.
Their leader MALCOM TURNCOAT has made a serious error of judgement.
He even admits in an interview on radio, to supporting this COPENHAGEN agreement,
but has not even read the draft!
Rudd has also admitted the same!

The fact that the proponents of this man made global warming theory now term
it Climate Change instead of Global Warming is understandable due to the
Earth's COOLING.

The following story is very enlightening regarding so called man made
climate change.-

"http://www.worldclimatereport.com/index.php/2009/10/06/antarctic-ice-melt-at-lowest-levels-in-satellite-era/"


Where are the headlines? Where are the press releases? Where is all the
attention? The ice melt across during the Antarctic summer (October-January)
of 2008-2009 was the LOWEST ever recorded in the satellite history.
So much for global warming.
Seems like very selective reporting by the media in the global brain washing
campaign.
Only ONE SIDE is ever presented and NO TRUE DEBATE has ever been entered
into.
Any dissenting view is ridiculed - this attitude is insulting to people's
intelligence to say the least.
Have a listen to this interview with a highly qualified scientist who
prepared some of the IPCC papers.

http://www.4bc.com.au/blogs/michael-smith-blog/deconstructing-global-warming/20091104-hxsw.html

Read the document "The-madness-of-ETS.pps" (http://www.jimball.com.au/The-madness-of-ETS.pps) and checkout the list of
over 30,000 highly qualified scientists worldwide on this (
http://www.petitionproject.org/) web site.

Have a look at this document to see how we will be living in the future if this ETS(Extra Tax System/Employment Termination Scheme) is passed:-

"http://www.lavoisier.com.au/articles/climate-policy/science-and-policy/backtothe19C.pdf"

It is interesting that Al Gore is not a scientist and stands to earn
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS from the companies he has established to trade in
carbon!
Why won't Mr. Gore take up the challenge and debate the issue?

http://www.globalwarmingheartland.com/expert.cfm?expertId=349

http://www.forecastingprinciples.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=78&Itemid=130#Benchmark_paper

What is he afraid of?
Why is his word taken as gospel?
He is nothing but a failed Politican.
Why does he reside in an enormous mansion in the US which consumes HUGE
amounts of electricity? If he is genuine I hope that it is all derived from
alternative power sources.
I hope he is not eating methane producing MEAT.
What about the pollution he causes by jetting around the world on aeroplanes
promoting his agenda?  All that jet fuel.
Now he is advocating CIVIL UNREST to achieve his agenda. TERRORISM!
How much do world governments stand to make from this additional tax on
humans? What a great source of revenue to repay the debt from the global
financial crisis.
Also Mr Garnaut is an economist not a scientist.
The government will decimate Australia's economy with the stuff that Mr Rudd
& Ms Wong are pushing on the public and media.
It's about the money.
Over 7 BILLION DOLLARS of Taxpayers money per year will be given away per
year if the COPENHAGEN TREATY is signed by Mr Rudd.
What about Australian Hospitals, Roads, Social Services etc.

Charity begins at home!
Have a look at the draft COPENHAGEN treaty here:-

"http://unfccc.int/resource/docs/2009/awglca7/eng/inf02.pdf"

The Earth's climate has always changed since creation and will continue to
do so regardless of how much citizens are taxed back into the STONE AGE.
We are expected to be convinced of man made global warming from people who
can't even accurately predict the weather for the next day.
Lord Christopher Monckton successfully prevented Gore's film from screening
in Britain. The legal system was obviously not convinced by the global
warming movie which contained over NINE GLARING ERRORS.

http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23416151-details/Judge+attacks+nine+errors+in+Al+Gore%27s+%27alarmist%27+climate+change+film/article.do

Unless citizens are able to pressure their governments to not sign the
agreement at the December 2009 summit, UNELECTED WORLD GOVERNMENT and large
transfers of wealth from developed countries to undeveloped ones will
result!
Effectively this carbon trading will result in a WORLD TAXATION SYSTEM, an
essential element for a WORLD GOVERNMENT!
This seems to be the upshot of it all. First create a mythical problem,
Second brain wash the public and engender a feeling of guilt about it, Third
tell them that to ease their guilty conscience they need to pay more tax.
Why has this "WATER VAPOUR POSITIVE FEEDBACK" TRICK been used to MANIPULATE
the climate models the IPCC use such that they show an increase in global
temperature with increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide when NASA
experimental evidence proves this is not true?

"http://www.quadrant.org.au/magazine/issue/2009/10/climate-modelling-nonsense"

What about the comments made here:-
/

Which phrases from the quoted documents are untrue???
It seems to be about control also.
Why is the CSIRO attempting to gag one of its highly qualified scientists
because he has alternative evidence from what the government wishes the
public to believe?

http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/health-science/csiro-bid-to-gag-emissions-trading-scheme-policy-attack/story-e6frg8gf-1225793355139

Scientists who do not want to agree with this man made global warming theory
have their government funding cut.
This to me is very suspicious. Science has a right to be UNBIASED and their
conclusions should not be influenced by government policy. This is an
influence of a vested interest!
It is about FACTS not BELIEF.
It is not a new religion that one believes or does not believe in.
Why hasn't the Australian Government been transparent, honest and
informative to the electorate about the cost to our society of both the
proposed ETS and the implications for Australian Sovereignty in signing the
COPENHAGEN TREATY in December? We should be concerned about what is NOT
BEING TOLD TO US.
Many diggers fought and died over the years to preserve Australia's
Sovereignty, yet here we are poised to sign some of it away with the stroke
of a pen!

As we approach Remembrance Day and consider the statement "Lest We Forget",
understand that "We Have Forgotten".

I fully support this petition. The ETS must be stopped.

I support this petition....Please add me to this very fast growing list..OBVIOUSLY this is a bad move when there are so many against it already !!!

I stronglly endorse the petition by Senators Joyce and Nash against the proposed emissions Trading Scheme and the signining of the Copenhagen Treaty.

I strongly request that Australia does not adopt the ETS as proposed by the Labor Party and that we do not sign the Copenhagen Treaty. There has not been enough discussion about these issues, we have not even been told exactly what is in the treaty. It appears to be more about grandstanding on the world stage by Kevin Rudd and Penny Wong. Get real. Who is going to enforce this ETS? It is surely destined to be rorted. If Wong wants to be serious about cutting emissions, why not subsidize solar panels for every building in Australia, reducing our demand on coal fired electricity and creating many jobs in the process.

Our Country can not afford the ETS
We fully support ths petition

Yes the EST must be STOPPED.. I am behind this petition 100%, please add my name...

Please add my name to this petition list. I am very much against the signing of the Emissions Trading Scheme.

Thank you Senator Joyce. I was afraid that too little was being done to stop this madness. Climate Change is a smoke screen that has nothing to do with CO2 & everything to do with some gigantic experiment in global socialism. It is about forcing the re-distribution of wealth.

I strongly disagree with the signing of the ETS and the Copenhagen Treaty and fully support Senator Barnaby Joyce in his quest to stop this scheme

Just another tax, Rudd wants to increase the population! Whats that going to do to carbon dioxide? Just another tax!

Please add my name to this petition.

Please add my name to this petition.

We absolutely agree with and support this petition and ask that the senate reject the ETS outright.

It is an absolute disgrace and must be stopped. Just another sneaky way to achieve ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT.

Obviously Rudd & Ms Wong have never had to work out in the country & trying to make ends meet...Hope before they sign the this load of rubbish in they find the GUTS to spend a year in our shoes first !! sdd me to the list..DONT let the ETS come into place..

No to ETS and no to man made global warming propaganda!

I fully support Senator Joyce. and I hope that the people of this country wake up to what is actually happening, and don't allow the Rudd government to succeed with the ETS and that nothing is signed in Copenhagen. Al Gores theory was based on a lie.

I don't see any point in trying to be one of the first nations to put their tick of approval on a treaty that has been rushed forward without discussion around the ever increasing evidence that this will change absolutely nothing except increase taxes.

NO to ETS. I fully support Senator Barnaby Joyce in the quest to stop this scheme.

I support Senator Joyce. Finally someone says it how it really is.

I do not want the governent to sign the Copenhagen treaty in any form nor introduce an ETS.

Please everyone, SIGN THE PETITION!!!

Say no to a scheme that will do absolutely nothing to fix a problem that in all likelyhood does not exist.

Say no to signing a treaty that effectively forms a socialist world government that overides our own constitution.

Stop Rudd from creating a pointless new tax, stop him from weakening our constitution, stop him from giving away our country's wealth, stop him from implementing his socialist idealogies upon us. STOP RUDD FROM BETRAYING HIS COUNTRY.

Just another KRUDD tax and KRUDD promoting himself.Without the rest of the world, what we do will have almost zero effect.

Support this petition. Stop the ETS. Man made Climate Change is a hoax.

I fully support Barnaby Joyce in this, and say a big No to any form of ETS.

We need the people of this country to realise we need to grow food to feed them if we have the ets we may not be able to afford to grow Beef and grains in this country to feed anyone! Wake up Australia we are being had big time!

We need the people of this country to realise we need to grow food to feed them if we have the ets we may not be able to afford to grow Beef and grains in this country to feed anyone! Wake up Australia we are being had big time!

Oh Barnaby, What are you doing?

Non support will allow big buiness to pollute the enviroment more which will harm our future children, though I am not impressess by the patheticc 5% put forward by the labor govenment as it should be more like 30% by 2020

I have to support the ETS

I am 100% against signing the Copenhagen Treaty.
I am 100% against introducing an ETS or carbon tax.

No matter the evidence falsifying AGW the gravey train of alarmists & hangers-on will be hard, if not impossible to stop as it is reaching a peak on the line, & if these measures are introduced that 100 ton gravey train will be roaring down hill.

Only the critical & sensible thinking general public can stop this gravey train from passing over the peak.

Fully behind this petition...WRONG, WRONG, WRONG...

This isn't about fighting to keep our farms, or fighting a government tax - it's about taking the opportunity to change our ways, become more attuned to the land we farm and live with.

We want Australia to continue to be a place where we'll have a forward-thinking agriculture industry don't we? We can be sustainable and be farmers.

We have more information at our fingertips today than any other time in history. There is no excuse for ignorance. You can sign this petition if you want to, but I urge you to do more reading on the subject - there are over 1000 papers on climate change submitted to the government every year. Instead of listening to politicians (who apart from being very good talkers, are NOT scientists) listen to people who have dedicated their lives to the subject (www.climatechange.com.au)

Understand more about what you are signing. Understand what chances you're signing away.

Please don't sign the ETS it is wrong wrong wrong, listen to your people Mr Rubb we have a say in the future of this amazing country of ours, a country that is strong so much stronger than us... There is no climate change forget the scientists, lobbyists etc with holes in their pockets and their hand out for more they all have another agenda, do you Mr Rubb?

DON'T SELL US OUT

The signing of this treaty would be a total disaster for the world and Australia. The Rudd Government have done nothing to help: in spite of their loud shouting we are still not seeing State or Local Government doing anything constructive eg why are we ALL not recycling? Surely getting things right at home is the first move. Why are we still mining coal and selling it overseas and using it in our own power generation? The reason why because the whole climate change is one huge hoax!! Please do not allow Mr Rudd and Ms Wong to sign this treaty that will only make life for the average person in Australia even more difficult than it is at the present time.

Why has the Boat people thing increased its a smoke screen to keep our focus off the Copenhagen Treaty!!

Go hard Barnaby..I believe the E.T.S is being rushed by Governments and Scientists by revolution not by evolution.

We should stop being HERDED, and start being LED by rational thought and reasonable time frames.

You have my support.

I reject the ETS

An Australian start to a repudiation document

Should the Rudd Government force into being, legislation that consigns the Australian citizens to paying for man induced CO2 emissions under the false pretense it is the absolute causation factor of the natural cyclical climate change this globe is experiencing, without a binding, passed, federal referendum, then his government is unconstitutionally acting:

further,

If Kevin Rudd, or his agents, place a signature to the Copenhagen treaty, or any like and associated document there prescribed, without the express permission of the parliament of Australia, its citizens, via a binding, passed, federal referendum, at the point the writing, or mark implement touches such document, Rudd and his Agents, will be deemed non-persona-grata and any action there-after taken, will be deemed ultra-vires (Beyond his/their powers) and as such, will lend no legal force, nor binding, of any kind, to Australia's International obligations, than was in force prior to such attempted illegal act.

Further

Should Kevin Rudd persist without the democratic permission of the citizens of Australia, as given by such a democratically required federal referendum, then Kevin Rudd and his Agents, will have comitted an act of Treason against this, our Nation, Australia.

Such an actl, without the known and public will and permission of the Australian citizens via such a referendum, will unequivocally, be an act of betrayal of the entire Australian population and an act, of illegally acquiescing Australian sovereignty to a foreign power and hence be deemed nothing other then an act of attempting to over throw the power of "All Australian Governments" and its "Citizens" and thereby, an act of treason against this nation, punishable by and under the laws of this Nation.

I've been following this debate for years and listening to Jim Ball (2UE) I think this ETS is nothing more than a sham tax and a redistribution of wealth. Wealthy I am not! I fully supporrt Barnaby Joyces' stand against the ETS. REJECT totally.

I support Senator Joyce in refuting this unwise Rudd/Gillard/Wong proposal. Our leaders are charged with serving and protecting our country and acting in it's best interests and this proposal does not do that. In fact I believe it does the opposite so what does that say about the Rudd Government? Misguided, mistaken and incompetent to say the least but nevertheless very, very wrong. I suspect the Rudd/Gillard/Wong troika is not telling the people the whole truth about the ETS or Copenhagen. Every concerned Australian should have a look at the Alan Jones interview with Lord Monckton. Thank you Barnaby, I appreciate your efforts, don't let them beat you mate.

I always thought that we were the clever/lucky country. The P.M. and some of his ministers have certainly disproved that in a big way. How can these people believe that such a scheme proposed by the looney tunes of the left can have any benefit for our precious country. Take away our sovreignty, put it in the hands of others to control in a so called world government, I dont think so; P.M. you are employed by us to do what is best for this country; stop strutting around like a Peacock and get of that world stage because we are not applauding. Listen to Barnaby, you will learn something. No ETS and no signature in Copenhagen, start putting your energies into Programmatic Specificities in order to get things like the financial, health, policing, schools, infrastructure policies to mention but a few,operating in a way that we justifiably expect, given the amount of tax you take from us. Bring on a DD election.

NO TO ETS....DEFINATELY NO TO THE COPENHAGEN TREATY. I'm very very dissappointed also in Turnbull. But, very very proud of you Senator Joyce...Keep up the great work.

I support your views on the money grab called ETS.

I support Senator Joyce

For the fact that everything and anything has an impact on climate such as, oceans, seas, volcanoes, flora, fauna, land fill, clearing, planting, waste, gassy animals, man's breath, radiation, reflection, absorption, solar, evaporation, conduction, humidity, earth’s rotation, sun, moon, stars, tectonic plates, tsunami’s, earthquakes, air movement, ice, snow, rainfall, water vapor, droughts, clouds, cars, trains, jets, boats, construction, agriculture, and on it goes.

I completely and wholeheartedly support this petition

I happily sign this.

The blind acceptance of Climate Change and the fact so many of my peers have blindly accepted this as fact and as such breaking the first rule of Science by accepting a hypothesis as true is terrifying for me. It will take generations for science to recover its credibility if this hypothesis in fact is proven false. Scientist you are SUPPOSED TO QUESTION EVERYTHING. Why are you failing the community by allowing your results to be influenced by money and politics.

I fully support the Barnaby Joyce'e fight against the ETS. How foolish can the government get to think that us paying more money will solve a global warming problem?

No ETS.

Does the Govt not know about the cycles of world climate change. An ETS imposed during the ice age would not have stopped climate change then, nor will an ETS stop climate change now.

I support Senator Joyce on this issue. I voted for labour in the last election because they wanted to make positive changes to this country. Living in rural NSW all our government has done is focus on what is good for the city and not listening to the wider community. How on earth canmpunishing hard working Australians make a difference when the great polluters of this world in India and China are not interested in making a difference.
DO NOT punish this country in order to bolster be what appears to be a determination to foster a post politics career. If the ETS goes ahead my vote walks out the door.

I'm taking this opportunity to voice my very real concerns regarding the ETS - I believe it will do nothing to reduce emissions.

I completely and wholeheartedly support this petition

i completely agree with this petition. why the rush to sign at copenhagen before the big countries. what impact would we have? none!

NO to this spurious science. Please do not destroy our economy for the sake of an ego! NO TO AN ETS!!!

I support the petition

The ETS will have no environmental benefits and will be a tremendous economic burden to Australians. I support senator Joyce's stance.

I am against the signing of the Copenhagen Treaty.

I do not support the ETS. How can we make a difference when the big polluters dont care. You must involve the big polluters to make a difference. Do not punish us.

I agree.
Reject the ETS and the CPRS. The Emperor has no clothes!

The proposal to introduce a tax on carbon dioxide is flawed at the most fundamental level. There is no, repeat no, credible evidence that variations in atmospheric CO2 levels in any way drive climate. Legislation based on this demonstrably false premise can only proceed on the basis of ignorance, in spite of the hysterical rhetoric of its supporters.

Australia, and the rest of the world, will suffer immense economic and political damage if the Copenhagen Treaty is signed, and legislation enacted to ostensibly control CO2 emissions.

I agree with Barnaby Joyce’s opposition to this treaty as well as his stance against this stupid, ill concieved CPRS nonsense which exposes the complete arrogance and lack of sound reasoning on the part of this government. Far from acting in the national interest this is doing the exact opposite. Australia deserves better.
Barnaby, I appreciate your good sense and great tenacity. Thanks

I fully support the petition.

I completely support this petition

To the Honourable President and members of the Senate in Parliament assembled: I Reject the proposed ETS in its current form and in any form. Taxing WILL NOT make any difference to the environment. Man made climate change is not proven science and any copenhagen treaty MUST be rejected.
I support the petition put forth by the Honarable Senator Barnaby Joyce.
Rudd stop being a "glory hound" on the world stage and concentrate on running Australia for Australians.

To the honourable members of parliament

Please listen to your constituents regarding the serious concerns we have with this scheme and so called "science" that is being used to support its implementation. I am concerned about our environment. However, I fear that this scheme will do nothing to preserve our environment but will rather add to the economic burden already borne by working families in this country.

No one in the Government is listening to the other side of this argument. Many families will be the losers and pay for something that in all probability is not real.

As a Labor voter, I am disgusted in the behaviour of the government to push this hiden tax through in front of the world meeting. It was never a mandate in the election, and was rarely mentioned. You are applying the same tactics that the oppposition did with workchoice and I will vote against you if it goes to a double dissolution, as it will cost as many, if not more jobs.
Shame !! Penny Wong and Mr Rudd

We are too small of a polluter too lead the world on this treaty.

I fully support Senator Joyce and this petition.

What a load of garbage is the ETS. I have worked hard all my life so that the government can make their money through taxes. Now they want to punish me for working hard and take more money from me. Open your eyes and look at the history of climate change.

I agree with and support your views

I support this petition.

I support this petition. The proposed ETS and CPRS are not in Australia's national interest and will only harm our nation. What is worse is that they will have a negligible impact, if any at all, on any climate change and no benefit whatsoever for Australia.

I wholeheartedly disagree with the notion that man is heating the planet. An ETS of ANY sort will not make the slightest difference to our climate.

The Copenhagen Treaty is an assault on our democracy and as such, must not be signed.

I support this petition against Australia adopting an ETS in any form, and call on the Senate to reject the misleadingly named Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme.

Don't sign the copenhagen aggreement or aggree to any ETS trading scheme. No real science has been put into this at all. Drought worldwide si more to do with man's wrongdoings, (especially africa and south america) then some ill conceived idea abouth global warming.

This isn't about fighting to keep our farms, or fighting a government tax - it's about taking the opportunity to change our ways, become more attuned to the land we farm and live with.

We want Australia to continue to be a place where we'll have a forward-thinking agriculture industry don't we? We can be sustainable and be farmers.

We have more information at our fingertips today than any other time in history. There is no excuse for ignorance. You can sign this petition if you want to, but I urge you to do more reading on the subject - there are over 1000 papers on climate change submitted to the government every year. Instead of listening to politicians (who apart from being very good talkers, are NOT scientists) listen to people who have dedicated their lives to the subject (www.climatechange.com.au)

Understand more about what you are signing. Understand what chances you're signing away.

Reject the new religion of climate change. Don't sign the Copenhagen Treaty. Don't pass the Emissions Trading Scheme.

No to ETS. No to fraudulant science.No to loss of soverignty. No to new tax and bigger govt.

I give my support for Senator Joyce and the petition above.

I stronglly endorse the petition by Senators Joyce and Nash against the proposed emissions Trading Scheme.
I also strongly advise against Rudd signing any treaty, agreement or suchlike at Copenhagen or other Climate/Taxation summit without full debate and input from the people of Australia...who foolishly voted his party in.
Lies, lies, lies. Whos agenda is Rudd representing?
Turnbull, you should hang your head in shame.
No mortal being has the ability to alter climate.

No ETS/CPRS
Co2 is essential to life on this planet and is not a pollutant!!!!

Is this not just another tax that will only benefit those countries who do not have an ETS? No I definately do not support an ETS and fully support this petition. NO to an ETS.

as a Scientist of the Atmosphere of 37 years..let me say..with experience

Man does not/never has/never will control the weather machine.

MMC02/AGW=FAILED hypothesis ETS=unwarranted TAX

protect Australia and its peoples and their future well being.

i fully endorse the Petition

Am 100% with Senator Joyce this is a beat up to save face with other countries and bugger our own. When are the present gov., going to follow through with what they promised in their election policies? NO ETS and get on with making our country the best again.

Until I can be convinced man is the main cause of climate change, I will oppose an ETS scheme.

No to the ETS and the new Climate Change Religion.

No to Copenhagen Treaty
No to ETS
No to world government
No to Rudd
Thank you to Barnaby Joyce
Thank you to Lord Monckton

This is just another tax for no gain.

I am against the introduction of a Emissions Trading Scheme or Australia signing the Copenhagen climate treaty. Both actions are unnecessary, pointless as well as detrimental to the future livelihoods of Australians. I strongly support this petition.

Good on you Senator Joyce,you are our voice in Canberra,We think Mr Rudd an Ms Wong have been given the wrong information and they will ruin this GREAT SOUTHERN LAND,We dont want to sign but if Rudd/Wong do sign. they should make countries that dont sign have massive tax (traiff) put on anything coming into Australia.....

I am 100% against signing the Copenhagen Treaty.
I am 100% against introducing an ETS or carbon tax.

No matter the evidence falsifying AGW the gravey train of alarmists & hangers-on will be hard, if not impossible to stop as it is reaching a peak on the line, & if these measures are introduced that 100 ton gravey train will be roaring down hill.

Only the critical & sensible thinking general public can stop this gravey train from passing over the peak.

I support Barnaby Joyce and totally disagree with Australia signing an ETS Treaty. I am concerned about the increased taxes & subsequent increase in commodities & the detrimental affect on all Australians economic situation.

My wife and I have installed watertanks , also a bore to water the garden,solar hotwater, and solarpanels on the roof connected into the electricity grid .Energy saving lights, insulated the roof etc etc. We have done this at great expense and to try and leave a better world for our grandchildren . In saying this We will not be TAXED and TAXED again by this ETS .

I fully support this pettiton. Vote NO to the CPRS regardless of what ammendments are proposed. I do not want an ETS in Australia in any form and do not want Australia party to any treaty agreed in Copenhagen.

Arnost

I fullly support Barnaby Joyce on this issue.

We fully support this partition. If Mr Rudd introduces this i hope he makes loads of money out of it as he will be having to support all the farmers when we go broke and have to move to sydney and go on the dole. We work our backsides out to feed Australia and get what for it.

I am opposed to the proposed legislation on ETS and the Rudd government should have a referendum to ascertain the wishes of the people of Australia.

No credible evidence has been presented so far to justify an ETS, which wopuld harm Australian commerce and be a massive burden on the Australian taxpayer

Dear Senator Joyce, thank you so much for your stand against the ETS tax and the signing of the Copenhagen Treaty - you have our full support. Yes to cleaning up water ways, planting more trees and doing what we all can to reduce emmissions, (we are green in this respect only - not Bob Brown Greens) but not putting up taxes and handing over our sovreingty to the uselss United Nations through the C.Treaty. Climate change has been with us from time immemorial and it isn't proven science. Do all you can to withstand Rudd's fixation and Turnbull's fear of a double dissolution of Parliament.

I am against the Parliament adopting a CPRS/ETS.
I am against Australia being a signatory of any UN treaty based on the current IPCC findings.

I demand that the Government table any and all proof they have that man-made CO2 emissions are responsible for climate change.

No to CPRS and Prime Minister must repudiate the Copenhagen draft treaty.Must not sign under any circumstance

We've only really had a proper understanding of science evolving over the past three hundred years or so. Geologists can tell us that we had an ice age ten thousand years ago, and it wansn't the first. What if all this panic over climate change turns out to be the natural turn of events that all the ETSes they can think of is not going to alter things one bit. Just let nature take its course and work out ways to adapt to the changes. To my mind the greatest current problem facing the planet is a growing overpopulation and our potable water resources. In the meantime I support Sen. Joyce's petition.

I am 100% against Australia adopting and ETS or carbon tax and the signing of the Copenhagen Treaty. We as Australians are conscious of what we need to do and we are all playing our part to helping the planet but to be taxed for doing so is unAustralian. The only people who will ultimately benefit from a carbon tax are the multinationals who own the carbon tax companies, Al Gore being the major recipient. Wake up Australia and don't be fooled by the multinationals.

NO to ETS, NO to signing Copenhagen treaty. YES YES YES to referendum on subject. It very much affects every citizen -therefore every citizen should have a say in the decision.

I am skeptical about a Government that sought to reduce rebates when people wanted to add solar energy to their homes, why should i trust them with an ETS scheme that is really another tax

Thank you Barnaby and your group of intelligent politicians who reject this infamy. I regard Mr Rudd and his supporters as traitors to the Australian people for keeping them in the dark about the real intent behind this infamous scheme.

I do not consent to the proposed Copenhagen Treaty or the introduction of an ETS.

An Emissions Trading Scheme by its very name is about money. Trading involves money. Money alone is not going to do anything to reverse the so called Climate Change. This proposed Scheme will cost a lot of Australians a lot of money and that money will not have any impact at all on Global Waming or Climate Change which are very dubious and controversial theories at best.

There should be no ETS without further consultation. The science is still not concluded despite what is being reported in the mainstream media.

I am against Australian Parliament adopting ETS/CPRS.

The petition has my full support - reject ETS, CPRS & Copenhagen Treaty. Kevin ego wants to go down in the history books at the expense of Australia's future!

I support the petition . The ETS is just a silly Tax why dont we think of something positive ie marine turbine/ other renewable/ or like England ,Finland and Italy GO NUCLEAR

I strongly endorse the position of Barnaby Joyce and say no to any form of ETS

I am against the ETS. Count me in for any opposition for this ETS.

I support this petition, say no to ETS

The ETS , is a down right scam, it is a cover to introduce a tax burden
on business and the general population. Schemes are just scheming to deceive, OH what aweb we weave when we try to deceive!!

Senator Joyce has my full support in bringing this proposed tax to cessation, as it's implications for the economy could never be fully predicted.

I do not agree to the proposed Copenhagen Treaty and object the introduction of an ETS, we are taxed enough, more should be done to assist the farmers instead of taxing them to the hilt and donating money overseas..

I fully support Barnaby Joyce and the other senators and politicians who have rejected the ETS and CPRS. The Liberal Party have displayed weak leadership and should never have entered into negotiations on the issue. This is all about more extracting more tax and propping up decimated financial marketeers.

No to an ETS. This proposal will send the country backwards not forwaed. I was told in the late 70's, by the climate change people, not to buy a unit in Fern St Surfers Paradise as I would have wet feet by 2010. Glad to report the water hasn't got of the beach yet although we have a few weeks to go.

! am fully supportive of Senator Barnaby Joyce on this matter. Please reject the CPRS/ETS

Keep up the good work Barnaby

Please add my name to your petition.
Any global warming, which has now become global cooling, is part of a natural cycle
As Prof Bob Carter nicely put it ...
"Remarkably, given the expenditure and effort spent looking for it since 1990, no summed human effect on global temperature has ever been identified or measured. Therefore, the human signal most probably lies buried in the variability and noise of the natural climate system. "

Also note that RURAL Australia has not warmed in the last 100 years.
http://www.newsweekly.com.au/articles/2009oct31_c.html

It's worth noting that warming is only evident in urbanised climate stations.
So it's mostly, if not all, urban heat island effect.

And please pass on my congratulations to senator Nick Minchin for putting the alarmists in their place on Four Corners last night.

We support your petition and thank you for taking a stand against this lunacy.

Climate change happens all the time and it happened long before industrialisation.

Maybe we should follow the money trail to see why some people are so hellbent on seeing us sign at Copenhagen.

Keep up the good work Barnaby Joyce.

I reject any attempt to push an ETS, or a 'Carbon tax', on Australia.

I am also strongly against Australia being signed up to a global agreement regarding alleged Anthropogenic Global Warming.

I am in strong support of your actions Senator Joyce.

Signed
Martin Gare

The ETS is simply an Extra Tax Scam. The onus should be on the "Warmers" to prove their theory - computer models are not science.

I am totally against the Australian Parliament adopting any kind of ETS/CPRS and am also totally against signing any UN Treaty on Climate Change.

If the Liberals support this foolishness they will lose my support at the next election.

Please do not sign the Copenhagen Treaty.

More crazy idea's by the loopy left. Be real to Australia and don't support the ETS.

THANK GOD FOR BARNABY JOYCE.
Someone has to do something about this dreadful thing. If Malcollm Turnbull took any notice of his coalition he would stop this THING dead in its tracks. The Australian people must not have this ETS imposed upon them against their will.It will kill off this wonderful place we call home and for what!!!!!! Australia is such a small and insignificant (got that Kevin) part of this problem that whatever is imposed upon us against our will, will NOT make a scrap of difference in the overall scheme of things.
NO TO ETS
NO TO KRUDD AND PENNY PONG !!!!!!

I totally oppose the proposed ETS and urge the Rudd Government not to sign. This percived "problem" is a money making scheme - look at those now making millions from so called Carbon Offsets. The ETS will put Australia way behind our competitors in the global marketplace. I'd like to hear what other countries like China are doing, before we commit to anything. I believe the human factor in this whole thing is so insignificant that the whole thing is laughable. This is just another con like the Y2K computer fiasco and the Swine Flu epidemic.

“The fact that the developed world went into hysterics over changes in global mean temperature anomaly of a few tenths of a degree will astound future generations. Such hysteria simply represents the scientific illiteracy of much of the public, the susceptibility of the public to the substitution of repetition for truth, and the exploitation of these weaknesses by politicians, environmental promoters, and, after 20 years of media drum beating, many others as well." Professor Richard S Lindzen

NO to Rudd's lunacy.

I do not want the government to sign the Copenhagen Treaty nor to introduce an ETS.
The debate is hot, and the Rudd Govt have it wrong. Is Rudd representing Australians? No I don't believe he is. Don't flush Australia and Australians down the toilet Rudd, what you are about to do is Treason.
I am very glad I did not vote for you, you are everything I feard and worse.

I am against the ETS. I am aghast that the liberals aren't making a firm stand against it.
Julie Jones

I do not support any ETS and any form of 'addressing Climate Change'. It is a mostly natural system with absolutely minimal effect from man. Reducing C02 will be very costly globally and there are many benefits of increasing atmospheric C02 concentrations. The climate is not in peril.

I am absolutely opposed to the signing of the Copenhagen treaty and the imposition of an ETS.
Thankfully Senator Barnaby Joyce and hopefully others have the intestinal fortitude to stand against a prime minister who has chosen to pursue his own interest at the expense of the good of the Australian people.

Don't load up our children with ETS debt for a problem that doesn't exist.

This is the most rediculous tax. As far as I can tell perhaps the modern example of the Emperor's New clothes. Problem is we will pay for this with Australian jobs and prosperity and for no good environmental benefit whatsoever.

If the coalition desert business and the Australian people on this issue, those that are on the wrong side of this vote will forever be held in contempt.

I agree with this petition

Thank you Mr President.
My question is to the Minister for Climate Change and Water.
Could the Minister inform the House the total percentage of Carbon Dioxide in the Atmosphere with respect to the overall Atmosphere, and could she tell the House how the introduction of the CPRS will lower that percentage.

(Senator Joyce, Sir. Do not allow the passage of this iniquitous new tax. You are doing the correct thing fighting this, not for Senator Joyce, but for Australia.)

Oh! Answer (a) 0.0388% Answer (b) It wno't

I fully support this online petition
No to the ETS

no proof that man made carbon causes climate change. No proof dramatic reduction can reverse climate change-since when does climate change go from a natural occurance to something man made?
The very questioning or asking for evidence is shouted down-theres something not right here. To risk jobs, economy, cost of living to satisfy uninformed green groups has to stop.THE MAJORITY NEED TO SPEAK AND SPEAK LOUD.

The ETS is the scam of the century.
If AGW spruikers like Al Gore and Kevin Rudd really believe what they claim and want to do something good for the environmental health of the planet they should abandon their lavish lifestyles and stop flying all around the world to peddle their apocalyptic rubbish.

I totally disagree with the ETS. The transfer of our wealth to the United Nations, the handing over of the sovereignty of our country to the United Nations, the loss of industry and jobs that my children will not be able to have. Whilst industry and jobs and profits will go to other countries, This is so open to corruption on a grand scale, the like of which the world has not seen before. King Kevin Rudd does not consult us in the electorate in this very important decision, it is so much like communism. God help us all

As a scientist of some 42 years, with all the knnowledge I learned at high school and university about he properties of gases in industrial situations and rge atmosphere being reinforced by working around underground coalmines and the gas induxtry, I consider that the people of the world are being scammed by zealots. Al Gore is only about tje money. Tim Flannery only wants to sell doom and gloom books Many scientists have set liittle university or government funded climate science empires wjere they are defending their empires, there lovely sinecures using short term selective information in so called "computer Models" that are nothing more than computer games from which they chose the most extreme forward projection, Ian Plimer and Bob Carter have spoken out and are supported by thousands of scientists who do not seem to be able to get the air time of strident climate alarmists such as Greenpeace, WWF, and other green groups. The ABC is highly biased in its presentations of climate issues. They never seek comment of news items about climate from climate realists, but always readily cut to some Greenpeace of other green zealot. Mr Garnaut has prepared a mass of very impressive figues set on a false base of loose sand. He has ignored the science issues, accepted extreme doom and gloom proposals and earned himself a high profile and large sums of money. Humans contributions of CO2 to the total system may be as high as 2-2%. CO2 is 1 1/2 time heavier than oxygen and nitrogen (20% and 79% of the atmosphere) and si constantly falling out of the atmsopher and sinking into the ground and sinking into and dissolving into the oceans. This is a very large removal mechanism of CO2 which is not taken into account by the climate alarmists. Where microbiological activity has been established in soil profiles by composting and certain other fertiling activities in the agricultural industry, CO2 is actively absorbed by these processes as a form of "carbon sequestration" - which is really an unnecessary term.

Don't sign the ETS.

Barnaby Joyce for PM!

Barnaby Joyce you have my full support to reject ETS, CPRS & Copenhagen Treaty. The so called experts can't agree so why should Australian's taxes be used to support some of the dictators in the world! How will we ever monitor what's happening anyway! Kevin Rudd should spend more time, effort and resources creating employment & using the sun and the wind in this great country instead of making himself popular overseas! Much more productive and beneficial to Australians.

I support this petition.

I fully support Barnaby Joyce. This ridiculous ETS that the Rudd Government is trying to foist on us, must be stopped.

Please vote no to any carbon trading scheme - particylarly prior to the Copenhagen meeting.

I do not wish the Australian government to sign the proposed Copenhagen Treaty. Nor do I support the introduction of an ETS.

The Senator has my full support. We import FAR TOO much food now with Coles & Woolworths ripping us off importing cheap food at low prices and selling it at inflated prices AND we do not need another tax. Question? Would we be having this discussion if we were heading for an ICE age, I am sure it was cars that caused the last ice age!!!!!
Go back and look at climate history, the earth has gotten COLD and the earth has gotten HOT before - its called cyclic patterns.

The central plank of the global warmers argument was the hockey stick. This has now been exposed as a fraud . Scientific fraud on this scale should be addressed by the scientific community otherwise it will destroy all confidence in rigorous scientific research. I am now totally oppsosed to any copenhagen agreement. As a liberal voter since Whitlam i will not vote liberal while that wrecker Turnbull is in charge. Get rid of him !.

Thousands of years ago, witch doctors convinced the uneducated that by sacrificing a few virgins and throwing them down the volcano, that this would stop the climate from changing, there would be no more droughts or floods, all would be well in world.

Today Mr Rudd & Ms Wong bring us ETS.

How little things have changed.

No to ETS
No to Rudd
No to Wong
Keep it up Barnaby

Don't sign the ETS

I agree entirely with this petition and urge the Senate to reject the CPRS.

Just stop the rot

No to the ETS

As a concerned Australian, to all senators of Australia do not allow the passage of any ETS legislation.

To Rudd, do sign any treaty the Australian public have not voted for.

Stupid to act now. Wait intil we see what the rest of the world is doing. Rudcd is an egomaniac

Do not sign the ETS!

I support this petition. Thank you to Barnaby.
Marion Kavanagh

Absolutely No to the ETS and No to the Copenhagen Treaty.

i am concerned for this country,for the women and children and how it will change this country for the worse,wakeup australians to what is happening,leave australia as it is.Mr Rudd listen to the voice of your countrymen and stop doing what you are doing

Keep up the good work.

I fully support this petition

How can anyone vote for something that is not a pollutant or a poison but is a natural element of the atmosphere. The downright lies of Rudd, Wong, Gore and the Greens is frightening when you consider the insidious propaganda they are espoucing.

No to the ETS.

I do not support the introduction of an ETS.
It is just another tax and will do nothing to help the world with climate change.

AGW or not, this treaty is a negative for Australia & really has zip to do with an ETS.

AGW or not, this ETS is a negative for Australia & has zip to do with climate change.

The logic of the ETS is flawed even according to the people who propose it.
Use of the "market" which they attack (rightly) to set a price?
Banks and all the same spivs who caused the recent issues are salivating at the chance to make money trading bits of paper.

Fight the fight Barnaby because it looks like no-one else has the courage to take on the new Spanish inquisition that is the Climate Change monster.

DO NOT sign this treaty. DO NOT make agreement on anything to do with climate change, global warming, carbon tax, or any ETS without full public approval via a referendum. We have the right, and we demand the right to read and understand this treaty and all its implications prior to any agreement taken on our behalf by this enept government. You do not have my trust or my permission to proceed

Rudd you are an idiot if you believe that the public will allow this.

Learn to take some critisism and get off your high horse

“To the Honourable President and members of the Senate in Parliament assembled:

The petition of the undersigned shows that we object to Australia adopting an Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) and the Copenhagen Treaty as foreshadowed by the Rudd Government. Your petitioners ask that the Senate reject the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme, (CPRS).”

We don't need a one world governing body to tell us how we are to run our country

I fully support this petition. It is madness to financially ruin a country by introducing a tax that will have absolutely zero effect on climate.

rudd - don't sign, you deceitful little man.
You made no mention of this UN treaty associated with your ETS during the election campaign. You conned the electorate with your lies and now finally people are starting to wake up to your little lefty plot. Do worry about the Australian workers who will loss their jobs and the higher taxes associated with the ETS, your working your way up to a nice little job at the UN. You will probably do ok at the UN - they do nothing other than talk (no action) - just like you and your do nothing government.

Australia has woken up to the fact that their PM is a ear wax eating nerd not worthy of the position.

I am fully supportive of Senator Barnaby Joyce on this matter. Please reject the CPRS/ETS

If Malcom Turnbull lets this go through he will have to change his name to Malcom Turncoat !!!! Please add me to this petition...

I fully agree with this petition. Senator Joyce has my full support. He is one of the few in Parliament with any common sense.

'No to ETS' "wake up ozzies" this country is self supportive in its food, fibre
and resources and the expertise to produce it. Why support
some elses economy to the detrement of our own. I suggest that all
take a careful look at what you are eating today and think again HARD./
We are some of the most productive economical rural producers in the
world. Thanks for allowing me a comment

No to the ETS......paying a fee for our cows to "pass wind" will not stop them doing it!!!!!!

Our current PrimeMinister is not to be trusted under any circumstances for any reason. None of this new Carbon Tax idea ( ETS ) was mentioned in his manifesto and his mouthpiece Penny Wong is simply towing the Rudd line.
I fully support Senator Joyce. We cannot be taxed any more to payback Mr Rudd's spending sprees. BTW is our PM in the country at the moment or overseas ?

ETS is simply another dreamed up TAX . It will do nothing to change the climate. That's purely in the hands of Mother Earth, The Sun and the rest of the Universe

It is so embarassing that the Rudd government are such pansies and patsies. I agree with this petition. Seriously Australia I hope you wake up quickly!

Please do not vote for ETS as it is all properganda.Next is for you to put your hand up to lead party then maybe we will go ahead and get rid of the Rudd dictator Gov.
Rick.

Being a student for Cert IV Organic Agricultural Production (TAFE Rural Skills
Armidale NSW) I am strongly against the ETS. But that doesn't stop us
from seeking more environmentally friendly energy supplies and fuels, etc., including water conservation in soils and homes. By improving the fertility of our soils to improve animal and human health we will benefit in the long run.
Carbon sequestration in soils is not acknowledged and the proposed methane
gas tax on cattle & sheep is ridiculous. Human activities enhance natural occurring CO2 levels but it sounds like a King Canute caper to think we can
alter the climate. I've just installed a rainwater tank and connected to toilet and washing machine, the government rebates are worthwhile to consider should cover 75 % of the cost of installation? I avoid insecticides and herbicides and encourage our Governments to subsidize farmers (like in
UK) to switch to more organically based agricultural methodology. Takes about 5 years to adapt.

I support Senator Joyce in his stand against signing off on ETS

Unfortunately for our Prime Minister the world requires CO2 to feed all plants and trees. Lets plant trees and plants to enhance our barren country the driest continent in the world. No more unnecessary taxes please.

Please, please, lets not sign the Copenhagen Treaty, which will sign away our sovereignty to an unelected body. Lets also trash the ETS, which is unecessary, will cost jobs and increase taxes, and not affect our climate one jot.

I fully agree with Senator Joyce, the ETS is just another tax which will destroy regional australia.

No ETS!

I am strongly against an Emissions Trading Scheme and Australia signing the proposed Copenhagen Treaty or any other international treaty for dealing with climate change.

I am against any tax or carbon trading associated with controlling climate change. Scientific proof is an oxymoron as the nature of scientific study is to form hypotheses with available facts and set out to prove or disprove, adding new fact and readjusting theories as more facts come to light. I support educating industry and individuals to be responsible for reducing pollution and the waste of our resources.

I believe all countries should be encouraged to work together but no international treaties should be formed or signed.

I support the petition against the implementation ETS and the signing of any treaty in Copenhagen.

The CPRS will destroy the Australian economy and do nothing in relation to AGW, as AGW is a myth.
The Copenhagen Treaty cannot be accepted by our Government as its terms impact Australia's Sovereignty, hence constitution, and therefore must be decided by the voters via a referundum.
I'll be voting National at the next election.

For Australia to lead the way with a ETS trading scheme and NO economic modeling is bordering on foolish.

Over 80% of Australians are aware of the ETS but does anyone know the cost to each family, to which the answer is NO, so why does such a scheme need to be rushed through Parliament ready for Copenhagen.

In brief, Carbon trading will cost the Australian family big dollars with no clarity on actual benefits to the climate. Without the biggest polluters around the world adopting the ETS just ensures exporting will diminish but goods and services will significantly increase.

Kevin Rudd’s wants to lead the world in ETS but then again with his personal wealth why not, it certainly won’t effect him !

I fully support this petition.

I fully support the petition against the E.T.S. Thank you for organising this !

I support this petition.

I support you Barnaby & your petiton. Wong & Rudd think they are God & can change the climate, what a joke..They will take down a lot of great farmers that will eventually hit the city where it hurts the most, their pockets..Lets all take a stand.. How many lives does Rudd want to stuff before he thinks he has done his job to perfection ???...

I support Senator Barnaby Joyce's petition. Please reject the CPRS/ETS.
Kevin Rudd and the Labor Government will be putting Australia into a terrible situation if this goes ahead. It will not reduce Global Emissions. All it will do is hurt hard working Australians and send our Industry off shore.

We do not need anymore taxes Mr. Rudd

Please, please stop all this ETS madness. It is just another tax. The next generation will suffer. This tax will have ZERO effect on the climate. SIGN the petition everyone.

I totally support this petition against an ETS.

Do not support Rudd's CPRS. It is a tax by stealth and will be a burden on us and future generations. This is all about a seat on the United Nations to satisfy personal political egos, and is a sellout of our country to even be willing to contemplate giving 6 billion dollars a year to faceless and nameless foreign nationals. The CPRS will not make any difference to the climate cycle.

Need to stop this expensive and unnecessary ETS based on a scare campaign on a non-event.

Manmade climate warming (it happens to be cooling)/change does not exist in the first place, therefore, the ETS and the Copenhagen Treaty and the CPRS are manmade Greenie/Leftie over-the-top so-called "remedies" that will cost trillions and bring down our standard of living.
NO to ETS
NO to Copenhagen Treaty
NO to CPRS
Please look up www.scienceandpublicpolicy.org showing how a few IPCC/UN unprofessional scientists have hijacked Science to feather their own nests. THEY OUGHT TO BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES!

I would like to add my name to this petition, and ask that the government stop pushing this legislation through. When no other governments are offering a firm commitment, why would Australia commit to such a burdensome system? Please Mr. Rudd, stop trying to run the world, and focus on Australia for a change.

I fully agree with the concerns outlined in this petition.

I support your petition and would like to express my gratitude for all your efforts.

The real man made catastrophe would be to proceed with this pernicious and insidious legislation and sign away our sovereignty to greedy U.N. bureaucrats.

An ETS will do nothing. The big polluters will continue and will simply purchase carbon credits. The end user of the product will pay. It will not cost the polluters so there will be no incentive for them to change.
The scheme needs a major rethink if it is to work. The Copenhagen Treaty is unsafe and may impinge on our sovereignty.

I say NO. Please don't sign.

I completely oppose the ETS (carbon dioxide tax) and urge both the Liberals and Labor to drop it altogether.

C Morton

Think about our generation when you have gone Rudd......DONT let this go through..I am totally behind this petition

I would like to sign this petition.

Andrew Starr

I oppose the proposed ETS, and regard the Copenhagen Treaty as possibly, the most contrived act ever imposed on the world. Why has so little been explained about it to the public of Australia. In a random check around the office, most had heard of the Copenhagen meeting and knew it had something to do with an ETS, but that was all. I do not think that the general public has any idea of the importance of this treaty.
Thanks Mr Joyce for all your efforts to stop this thing.

I ask that the government stop pushing this legislation through that will only hurt small business and Farmers.

I fully support Barnaby Joyce with this petition.

its a scam. We will not and cannot affect the worlds climate. This Labor party bunk will send us all broke.

No to ETS and no ito signing Copenhagen treaty

I do not support the ETS. It will do absolutely nothing for reducing the average global surface temperature, but will hasten the destruction of the Australian economy.

I wish to add my name to this petition, I don't support the ETS or the signing of the Copenhagen Treaty, and I think it's about time Mr Rudd and all the other politicians started listening to the people, after all, the people voted you in, andthe people can sure as hell vote you out again.
Keep on fighting for the people Barnaby.

I agree with this petition. Do not sign anything at Kopenhagen.

I fully support this petition against the ETS and the Copenhagen Treaty.

I do not believe Kevin Rudd has Australia's best interests at heart, and I think Malcolm Turnbull is right up there with him.

All three of us heartily endorse this petition and are in complete agreement with Senator Joyce in ending this stupid legislation

No to the ETS and No to the copenhagen treaty.

I fully agree with the concerns outlined in this petition by the numerous signatories. World government smacks of Hitler's agenda.

I fully support/agree Senator Joyce about no signing to be done at Copenhagen and at all, because there is noone showing real evidence of this climate change or whatever they want to call it happening. It's just nature taking its own course.

Dear Sir,

I do not want the government to sign the Copenhagen Treaty in any form nor to introduce an ETS in any form.

(signed) David Grau

I fully agree with the concerns outlined in this petition.

I full support the petition

I fully support this petition against the ETS and the Copenhagen Treaty.

Go for it Barnaby. You are talking common sense.

The science of man-made global warming is far from settled. Let us continue to observe and research but avoid taking decisions on effects that are 50 years away and over which we may have no control. The world has adapted well over the past two hyndred years and will continue to make any necessary small changes.

NO to any ETS. After 70 years on this earth in North West NSW and Sydney it has been bloody HOT and Bloody Cold and has been for all time - If the Gov is genuinely concerned about the future of Australia's survival then devise an HONEST plan to "save the planet".

I am extremely concerned about the future of our Planet Earth but believe the new mantra of greenhouse gas being the cause of drastic change is wrong and my extensive reading supports this. Look at the root cause- Clearing of the Earth's Forests, wasteful demand, and so on. In the final analysis it is too many people wanting to live in the American style consumer society. In the 1950's there were about 2.5 billion people on Earth now there is about 7 billion. For that I have no answer but know that an ETS or any action at Copenhagen that does not address reality(or the real inconvenient truth) is pointless and just an exercise in political grandstanding. Stand up to the spin Barnaby. All the best in your endeavours.

No ETS
No Copenhagen Treaty
No Wong

Committing to the ETS would be a headlong leap into a black chasm. There is simply not enough scientific evidence to support such an action.

I fully support the petition.

I fully endorse and approve of this petition. Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant. IF it is responsible for "global warming" as claimed, then why is it that global temperatures have been falling (not rising!!!) since the year 2001!
One sizable volcanic eruption (as has happened in recent history and will happen again... (i.e. Krakatoa C.1883))... and anything/everything that mankind has generated pales into insignificance!
The ETS is just another tax. The Copenhagen Treaty, yet another attempt at global government + tax! (Ref. articles by Lord Christopher Monckton).
Recall the massive problem the world HAD with the Ozone Holes/depletion, odd has this has all gone away, now that (for example) the DuPont company has made a fortune out of selling the proprietary refrigerant gas replacement for CFC's.
Odd too, how Al Gore (who stands to gain considerable financial benifit from his interests in "green" solutions) will not participate in ANY public debate to defend his claims.

I vehemently object to Australia adopting an Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) and the Copenhagen Treaty.
We do have climate change which is normal and cyclic. We cannot properly predict climatic movement let alone change it, no matter how much money or technology we throw at it.
The best we can do is adapt to climatic change and not waste time and valuable limited resources in a futile effort to try and change it.

I am totally against the ETS and copenhagen treaty. One mans ego should not be allowed to penalise an entire nation. K Rudd has no authority to place such a burden on the people of Australia.

Thankyou Barnaby for standing up against this scheme and thankyou for standing up for common sense in Australia. At a time when most voices appear to be silenced we need more people like you to shout this from the rooftops. I beg you to please stop this terrible tax, based on lie, to be imposed on us and our children.

NO TO AN ETS. Australia does not need and does not want any form of an Emission Taxation Scam and any government that perpetrates one is betraying the interests of all present and future Australians.

I agree with the concerns about the ETS and do not want the Australian Government to commit us to the Treaty. ETS is being introduced without proper investigation of the results

I support this petition!

Senator Joyce, I fully support your petition and also an enquiry/commission into the total lack of public debate on 'climate change'. Furthermore, PM Rudd's readiness to traduce those who oppose his way of thinking, reveals his lack of conviction to argue his point.

We support the use of condoms and bicycles Dave

This ( ETS ) is just another tax and must not be allowed to happen

I fully support this petition. Thank you to Senator Joyce and the other Senators and MP's with the backbone and courage to stand up and speak on behalf of the many, many people in this country who oppose the signing of this treaty this treaty and the implementation of and ETS scheme.

Go Barnaby! During the Cambrian Period (540-490 million years ago) CO2 concentrations were then nearly 7000 parts per million - about 18 times higher than today's. Not too many coal-fired power stations or cars on our planet then.
Anthropogenic contribution? Codswallop.

Good one Kev, you and your fat cats may wont to pay the ETS taxes, BUT we are already suffering under your moves.
NO TO ETS

Totally opposed to Australia's signing this treaty. Please Mr Rudd, when are we, the people, going to be given an answer to Christopher Monckton's accusations and the views of one of Australia's leading radio commentators and one of The Australian's columnists - hardly lightweights, yet deafening silence from The Establishment.

Ever since Peter Beattie, as his "Going Away Present", arrogantly presented Queensland with the fait accompli of amalgamated Councils = without the slightest hint to the public, let alone consultation, I have lost faith in our political system. When will someone stand up for OUR rights, Australia's rights, not the hazy political global masters we vaguely discern through all the obfuscation?

I support this partition.

No to the ETS...and no to politicians ramming this nonsense through the parliament. In all other matters they act with glacial sloth but with this issue "all speed ahead". As a trained engineer (and someone who understands how the scientific method should work) it's beyond incredulity at how little scientific debate has occurred. I'm not one for conspiracy theories but the speed with which a usually cynical media has accepted the ETS and the global warming scaremongering is scarey. Reputations of many people will be destroyed over the next decade or so as the truth dawns. They will blame the scientists who advised them--sorry, not acceptable.

do not sign the copenhagen treaty & forget the ETS. Climate warming is a natural phenomena & it is not conclusive as to the extent that CO2 emissions are contributing. Maybe the clearing of the Amazon rain forest is contributing? You should listen to the comments of Lord Monkton in his recent interview with Alan Jones.

I full support this petetion. The proposed ETS (Everything Taxed System) by Rudd & supported by Turnbull is a scam, as is Global Warming/Climate Change of which this tax has its foundations.

Get on the net, look for video interviews under the name of Lord Monkton. There you will learn the scale of this deception, you will understand the treacherous nature of bothRudd & Turnbull. look out Australia.

I support this petition.

I support this petition.

I support this petition. Go get them Barnaby, as one of the few pollies that give a stuff about us, you have a lot of respect from many, many people, especially in the bush.

Please, stop this tripe before our country is ruined.

Finally someone with a bit of common sense. Thank you to Senator Joyce

I support the petition

No to the ETS

No to Copenhagen

I support this petition. No to ETS

I support this petition.

This petition has my full support and I congratulate Senator Barnaby Joyce for acting in the best interests of the nation.

I agree with my partner Lindsay. Climate change is a natural thing. So, Mr.Rudd, no ETS

Dear Barnaby,

You're doing some great work in the Parliament and I really appreciate your candour and being willing to stand by your principles and stand up for what is right, not what is politically expedient.

I add my name to this petition. Please continue to do all you can to oppose this Extra Tax System and encourage the others in Parliament who can see the Global Warming Scam for what it is, to vote it down in Parliament.

C'mon Nationals, Liberals, even those in the Labor party who do not agree with this.

Be brave, stand by your convictions and VOTE IT DOWN!

I support this petition.

"Climate Change" is not man made. Those who promote this are those who gain from its promotion, ignoring the true science of the situation. In the ETS and other similar schemes we are seeking to change the way we do things to stop something that cannot be stopped because it is a natural process. Such schemes will have no impact on the way in which the earth's weather patterns change. Why do we not rather spend resources in assisting those who will be most affected by what we cannot stop? I strongly endorse the petition.

Those before me have said it all.
I support this Petition

Thankyou Senator Joyce.

I do NOT want Rudd to sign us up to an ETS agreement, or to sign any documents in relation to any New world Order or World Government organinisation

He, Rudd, ought not be allowed to go to the meeting

Protect the future for our children

Do not sign the Treaty. Say "No" to ETS in any form.

Climate change is not caused by man. I support this petition.

To the Honourable President and members of the Senate in Parliament assembled:
The petition of the undersigned shows that we object to Australia adopting an Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) and the Copenhagen Treaty as foreshadowed by the Rudd Government. Your petitioners ask that the Senate reject the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme, (CPRS).

I support this petition.
Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant.
Carbon dioxide does not create extreme weather events.
I do not support or want an ETS, CPRS or any cap & trade of carbon dioxide.
NO to signing ANY Copenhagen Treaty.

We fully support this petition. Your mandate did not include increasing our taxes and destroying our country. Put the full cost and hidden details to a referendum So Australians can decide for themselves

“To the Honourable President and members of the Senate in Parliament assembled:
The petition of the undersigned shows that we object to Australia adopting an Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) and the Copenhagen Treaty as foreshadowed by the Rudd Government. Your petitioners ask that the Senate reject the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme, (CPRS).”

I agree wholeheartedly with this petition and its principles .

I fully support this petition.

do not sign the ETS, the whole Man-made climate change issue is a fraud of massive scale.

The ETS must be stopped. You have my full support for this petition.

Its introduction will do nothing to alter the climate, will not reduce emissions by any discernable amount, will result in a massive financial imposition on those who can least afford it - being the average person on the street, end up being just another Government imposed tax that will replenish their coffers so that they can distribute some of the monies already promised to the various groups that have made the most noise to date.

Australia accounts for such a miniscule portion of the worlds population and supposed CO2 output that is causing climate change, how can we be taken seriously by the likes of China, India and United States and expect them to comply with a list of demands or else.

The concept of CO2 being a pollutant and something that must be cut immediately because it is a harmful Greenhouse Gas is absolutely ridiculous. CO2 accounts for less than 5% of of all Greenhouse Gases and the amount contributed by Man is only part of this. It is time all of the so called Do-Gooders got real.

This is the pain I have been talking about and hell it will go worse next year leading to a near enough wipe-out .
This government is on it's self-destruction part, secretly channelling more funds for warmongering to the Middle East.!
Further funds going to the ever increasing border control to stop refugee infiltration but this scenario will be unstoppable..!
CLIMATE CHANGE, means AUSTRALIA is totally brainwashed in something that does not exist but used as an alternative subject to extract billions from this nations individuals, workers and manufacturer to pay for a lost War Australia never ever will win..!
Australia will be shortly ruled by Muslims, and the time is nearing fast..!
We people are used and abused by this Labour government that has no fixed long term solution nor strategies planing, yet hoodwink us people big time.
The media knows dam well which side the bred is buttered and nothing is said about the huge daily financial losses in warmongering.
Not only that, Hell Gate has delivered my predicted 'so said natural disasters' in 2009 of many billions of Dollars alone to this country.
The pensioner and the ordinary mum and dad is paying for this, whilst those clowns in parliament blaming each other and continue to follow the sure tracks of self-destructions.
Senator Barnaby Joyce, STOP them from this ongoing nonsens...!!!

Everybody needs to be made aware of the full implications if this ETS was implemented. The Rudd Government definitely will NOT be enjoying decreasing unemployment if this scheme / tax is imposed on Australians. We have given away a large portion of our manufacturing base, along with some of our service industries and now the Rudd Government has it's sights on our Primary Industries. We would be crazy to allow additional TAXES to be placed on mining and agriculture.

On another note, has anyone noticed that the term "global warming" has been phased out and replaced with "climate change"? Must be because the world is actually cooling not warming, surely this should sound some alarm bells for "climate change" activists!

You are on the right track Barnaby, keep fighting.......... No to an ETS.

No to E.T.S.( Extra Tax Scheme)
No to United Nations( Unelected therefore Unaccountable) attempts to gain control of our Societies Lifestyles and our Sovereign Wealth.
No sympathy for all of the Vested Interests who wont make Money if they do not succeed in implementing this scheme.
No sympathy for those Vested Interests who wont be able to utterly destroy what is left of our industries through this scheme.
And lastly no more delusions about scientists being able to control and or produce perfect weather anywhere, other than in their frenzied imaginations.

I support this petition against the biggest "con" job on the Australian electorate in living memory! It is a money making racket for the Govt that will affect every Australian. And for what? It is just wong!

THe ETS must be abandoned. It is a tax on Australia's prosperity and will have zero effect on global temperatures.

I'm a newbie to Oz and don't really have a political persuasion one way or the other. In fact the older I get the more apathetic towards politics I get. But I do fully support this petition. The science of man-made global warming is indeed far from settled and the ETS is just part of a number of 'green' taxes governments all over the developed world seemed to want to hit us with. Fine - Tackle pollution but in a more considered way.

The proposed ETS is a ridiculous waste of time, effort and money, with absolutely no real scientific basis in fact. It is a quasi-religion spread by fools with no idea what they are talking about. The Fed Govt would be a lot better off to focus on real issues that effect real people, not rubbish like the ETS

I do not want the government to sign the Copenhagen Treaty in any form nor to introduce an ETS in any form.

Good on you Barnaby! Keep up the good work. I hope you are sleeping well because you are going to need every ounce of energy to fight this THREAT to
Australia. NO to ETS; NO to Copenhagen Treaty; NO to CPRS!

We as Australians are already taxed beyond belief Adding another tax will put the average worker in deeper financial difficulty. DO NOT SIGN THE ETS.

I do not support the ETS in its current guise and ask that it be held off until a full disclosure and understanding of all the factors inputing the process is known.

True environmental and social benefit can be had today with existing proven commercial technology in renewable energies. Very little incentive money is required, only a long term commitment to energy grid feed in tarrifs along the lines of the German or Spanish model. Multiple global energy companies are lined up waiting for this to occur, but until the tarrifs are guaranteed and in place they will not commit to development in this country.

I fully support Senator Joyce in this matter. AS far as I am concerned Rudd is grandstanding on this issue and is only interested in his position on the world stage. He needs to talk to people in the bush and understand things from their prospective.

I stronglly endorse the petition by Senators Joyce and Nash against the proposed Emissions Trading Scheme and the non signing of the Copenhagen Treaty.

NO to the ETS, CPRS or whatever acronym they choose to use & NO to ANY UN Based Climate Change Treaty or ANY Treaty designed to redistribute Australian Wealth or to abrogate Australian Sovreignty.

Thank you Barnaby Joyce for the opportunity to vote NO to the signing of this Treaty or any other like it. Let's keep Australia's control in Australia.

The Carbon trading scheme (ETS) is a con and is nothing more than revenue raising. In the light of Lord Moncktons speech just a few weeks ago, Alan Jones interview soon after and more details provided by Leon Byner on 5AA the Copenhagen Treaty has been exposed for what it is. It is so typical of most of our politicians to stumble in where fools fear to tread. Rudd while being interviewed on 5AA last week, admitted that he knew very little of the Copenhagen Treaty content, but stated that it hadn't been signed yet and wouldn't be drawn any further.

Furthermore, lets fix Australia's problems first, like the Murray River disaster, not give away our Tax Dollars to despots that won't use the money for good in anycase.

I do not endorse an ETS or any other tax provision designed to support the scientifically disproven theory of human-induced climate change (AGW). The instigation of a massive new taxation system in Australia will not change the planet's climate (even if the theory could be supported with evidence). It will create an undeserved and terrible burden on all Australians, limit our prosperity and enslave us and our innocent, forgotten children to unelected corrupt foreign powers. I do not support an unelected 'global communist government' to run my country's affairs especially on the basis of fraudulent 'science' which has since been debunked. NO TREATY & NO ETS.

Say no to higher food prices

This is a threat to Australia. No ETS and do not sign Copenhagen treaty.

We do not want this treaty and no ETS.

Definately NO to the ETS.

I am disgusted in the Rudd government, for ONCE again trying to pull the wool over our eyes, it is time Rudd was stopped and the people who put him there wake up to themselves and get rid of him,

At Valente Trawling we fully support the petition. Climate has been changing for thousands of years, and Kevin thinks that he can stop this. He must be joking

i am completely opposed to the ets and any tax provision designed to support any carbon trading from human induced climate change.

I endorse Barnaby's comments on the ETS. NO ETS, we cannot afford it.

NO Treaty and No ETS before we know what the rest of the world is doing.

I don't want the government to sign the Copenhagen Treaty in any form.

The government has got it all wrong. There is no climate change, except the natural order of things. Do not sign any treaty for climate change law to happen. It is a lot of garbage. The government is going to make us go for broke, and will not listen. Government, you need to listen. These laws are wrong.

I agree with this petition.

I fully support this petition. No Treaty and no ETS.

The Howard Government went to the polls with the GST and let the people of the nation decide. A "TAX" like this, that will be so far reaching and have such a wide range of implications should be put before the nations public.

Let's see just how angry Kevin Rudd can get.

I support Barnaby Joyce in this petition.

Do not sign this and destroy the standards for all Australians,we have had enough.

I strongly oppose the proposed Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) and the signing of the Copenhagen Treaty.

Thank you Senator Joyce for taking a stand, keep up the good work.

I share your view and opinion on this very important issue. Thank god that there is someone in power like Barnaby who stands up to be counted. A pity about the others who are to scared to have an opinion.

I agree with the petition.

I lodge my protest against and Australian Goverment signing any emissions trading scheme.

I beleive that such schemes are not credible and will only harm our country.

Regards

Peter Connor

I fully support this petition. No to adoprting the ETS . We need to look after future generations of Australians and do not want the Copenhagen Treaty signed either.

Politicians from all sides should watch presentations by Prof. Ian Plimer, Lord Monckton and other reputable scientists who are questioning the way the public is being conned about the effects of carbon and global warming. It has been a one-sided brainwashing of a gullible public. More debate is needed. Definitely "NO" to the ETS and Copenhagen!

I have looked at "the science" and "the statistics" (with help) behind "AGW" which is behind the "IPCC" which is behind "ETS-Copenhagen" and am amazed that it is a "house of cards" - EVERY pronouncement being sourced from a dud computer model (Mann et al) which uses cherry picked "data" which even at its source relies on dendrochronology (annual tree rings) which has a very dubious relationship to temperature.

I have also noticed that the major proponents are either in the ETS business - which includes grant-dependent academics, evangelists with links to commercial ETS projects or politicians - naive or stupid.

And "Copenhagen" has enormous stings within it that remove our sovreignty and commit us to penury. A sort of Communist manifesto.

No ETS!
No Copenhagen!
Turnbull wake up!
Rudd give up!

We do not need an ETS. It will destroy Australia and not make one bit of difference to changing the climate of the world

Following Mr Jone's interview of Lord Monckton's, I encourage you Mr Joyce and the Coalition to do all it can to prevent this current government from giving away our Constitutional Rights to this hypothetical world body, unelected by us Aust tax payers.

I fully support petition, all power to you Barnaby, Lord Monckton and Alan Jones.

Go for it Barnaby, Australia does not need this.

Do not sign this for all Australians sake, We have had enough, Stop destroying this great country

I fully support this petition. There should be no treaty and no ETS

I agree with the petition.

Another tax is not the way to face the challenges we face in the 21st century. If Rudd & Co really wanted to reduce C02 emissions then they could start by stopping Senator Conroy wasting tax payers money (and carbon) on useless conferences!

Perhaps we could also have a coherent energy policy in Australia that would help us rely less on imported oil and reduce pollution/C02 emissions at the same time?

I do not want the Australian government to sign the Copenhagen Treaty in any form nor to introduce an ETS in any form.

We do share your views Senator and agree with the petition. Thank you and keep up the good work

I totally support the petition. If the earth is 'warming ' how come the official world temperatures have not risen in nearly 10 years. We are in a drought just like in the early 1900's. Rudd is just trying to appease the Greens who will keep him in power. If and when the major polluting countries take action then we should look at cutting back our emmissions but not simply by introducing yet another tax.

Mr Rudd STOP do not sign the Copenhagen treaty. It will the death of Australia. Listen to the people!!!! We pay your salary. Keep up the good work Barnaby!!!!!!!!

Gillian Coles

I oppose the introduction of any ETS.
It is totally unnecessary as the problem it is supposedly directed at is based on assumptions only, and even if those assumptions were proven to be correct, this ETS would be totally ineffectual.
If CO2 emissions were a matter of serious consequence for the government, then a policy to allow nuclear power stations has to be introduced. At some point in time Australia will embrace such technology, but until then, please stop expecting me to take seriously any policies directed towards mitigating the impact of any climate change whilst nuclear generation of electricity is ignored by selfish and ignorant political party ideology.

& I do not want the Australian government to sign the Copenhagen Treaty in any form nor to introduce an ETS in any form either.

We should be tackling bigger issues. We must care for the environment but when it comes to "climate change" the science is just not settled! Senators please do what is best for your country and the people you have been elected to serve. Vote against the ETS and be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves when it comes to Copenhagen. Stay cool and don't sign away our sovereignty and freedom!!!

Please do not sign away our rights and freedoms to the hopeless UN. Our future generations should not have to bear the burdens both financially and to their individual freedom that signing the Copenhagen Treaty would impose on them. Shame on Rudd. He is clearly only thninking about elevating his out stature on the world stage and he doesn't care about what this will involve for the rest of us. Let him come clean and tell the people that once this treaty is signed it will be binding on all future generations and cannot be undone irrespective of whoever is in government. It is a forever commitment.

Can't we at least hear debate from BOTH SIDES - debate from those disagreeing with global warming being a man made disaster has been stifled. The ETS is just a tax that is designed to redistribute the wealth.

If our manufacturing base and those of the other developed nations become even less competitive than they are now, then more and more manufacturing will go offshore to nations such as China and India who are not signatories to the Treaty but also have very little enviornmental laws. Consequently there will be no reductions in emissions. Just huge taxes and loss of industry for those who sign.

It's time for Rudd to come clean about his motives and allow honest debate from BOTH sides

ETS = money grubbers will rule . Al gore reckons a rise in civil disobedience against fossil-fuel polluters. Maybe the tide will go the other way, I don't recall seeing al sailing the world using fossil free fuel while lining his already overloaded pockets and why have they moved the goal post's from global warming to climate change ? Locally we have penny ding dong talking about cows farting causing a rise in methane levels rising I may be wrong please correct me if i am but doe's not most of the methane come from the front end due to the first stomach. Thank you Senator Barnaby Joyce for the chance to have a say .

Go for it Barnaby

"The only rational patriotism is loyalty to the nation all the time, and loyalty to the government when it deserves it." -- Mark Twain

Dear Mr Rudd,

You do not have my loyalty. The Copenhagen Treaty and ETS are insanely destructive expensive measures that will not fix a planet that doesn't need fixing.

I also do not want the air I breath to be taxed, thats an old joke isn't it, next they will tax the air we breath. If you are serious about doing something for the world we live in, create more forests and clean up the oceans.

But please do not use climate change which is basically a natural happening as an excuse to wrench more money from people and families who are in some cases already doing it tough. Don't put these, yours and my people out of work please do not destroy Australia. And please please do not destroy out rights to be happy, healthy and free people living in a democratic society but chained to a less than fair treaty.

We have always had climate-change it happens 4 times a year [summer autumn winter spring] the great con job being pushed by kevin dudd is just another TAX.

Barnaby there is so much evidence that Mr Rudd has an agenda that will destroy our freedom for ever. I want you to do everything you can to protect our great country for our children's future
Keep fighting for what is right We are with you all the way

I support this petition

I agree with Barnaby - NO ETS.

WAKE UP RUDD!!!
I agree with this petition.

I support your stand against this madness of 'climate change', carbon taxes and the signing away of our democratic rights. Our freedom of choice is vitally important and must be defended strongly. Our fathers (and mothers) fought and died of the freedom we now enjoy.

I stongly endorse this petition & hope that this blinkered government will not sell Australian industries & jobs to other countries.
Surley some common sense must win this debate.
Well done Barnaby. you have won my vote.

I agree with your petition. Vote No loud and clear, on signing away anymore of our rights.

I urge all Australians and oppose this EMS and Copenhagen Treaty ie NEW TAX !!! with all the strength and vigor you can muster....
Wake up Australia this totally wrong....even if Australia had zero emissions it wouldn't make one iota of a difference on a global scale...Rudd is on the the wrong track completely and the Climate minister well she is just plain Wong.

Where is the Governor General the protector of our Sovereignity, get in there Quentin and decommision this Prime Minister and his team of fools before he signs away our constitutional rights.

Go Barnaby we need a few more pollies with some common sense and dare I say it 'balls'.

Please add my name to this petition. It terrifies me to think how far we have "gone down the drain" in the 2 years this government has been in power! No one is listening to all the scientists that say "you have got it wrong"!

Thanks Barnaby, you have my support.

Kathryn Cummings, NSW

dont sign - we dont believe anything Mr. Rudd is saying or doing.

That goose Virginia Trioli did a wind up thingy when she thought she was off camera.
Hey Trioli, you are the nutbag. Barnaby is the only politician at the moment that makes any sense.
the world has gone completely crazy since Krudd and his do gooder bleeding heart dreamers took over.

Thank you Senator Joyce, please continue to stand for common sense and the Australian people. I for one do not wish to sign up for a one world government based on the bad science and political machinations of the 'climate change' global movement.

A big 'NO' to the ETS; a big "NO' to signing at Copenhagen. Can you please do something about the insidious brainwashing of our children in schools with this riubbish! Teachers are supposed to have an open mind and receptive to evidence based science.

I sign this petition for the younger generation that will have to live with the stuff ups that our current prime minister is trying to make...

I fully agree with the concerns outlined in this petition.

I strongly support this petition!!! 100%

Add my name to this petition. This has gone too far and it will end up breaking Australia and turning us into a 3rd world country.

There is no such thing as climate change, therefore we do not need a(ETS) it's a con and cover up for a one world order. We do not want Rudd to sign this Tready. We do want to know the truth, what it the government's really up too? Do not sell out Australia!

I support this petition. Vote NO, loud and clear, to signing away any more of our rights.

There is insufficient scientific evidence to warrant this hysteria.

Mr. Rudd dont sign anything on my behalf, I dont believe in global warming.

Dont put Australia's name to any partition until you have a mandate from us.

I do NOT endorse the ETS , It is just another tax and one that this country cannot afford . It will do nothing to reduce so called climate change . Mr Rudd & Ms Wong etc should understand charging all Australians more money in the form of the ETS is not going to save anything . It will just make Australia even more uncompeditive in the world market . . I say NO to ETS & No to the Copenhagen Treaty

I do not support this bill.
I concur with many of the previous posts.
Lets concentrate on all forms of pollution and illegal forest denudation.
Simply moving from coal to gas as a power generator will have a good effect, and nuclear has to be on the agenda.
The ETS as it stands will benefit the financial industry and the tax coffers, but nothing else.

I do not agree with the ETS.

Rudd will muck this up and it will cost lots of money - and in the long term will the big polluters conform? I don't think so.

Help us out Barnaby say no loud and clear.

Thanks Brenton

I strongly endorse this petition.

We support this petition.

I support the petition by Senators Joyce and Nash against the proposed Emissions Trading Scheme.

We need to protect the soverignty of our nation not hand it to an unelected psuedo-government.

I fully support the petition by Senator Joyce and am completely opposed to the proposed Emissions Trading Scheme.

Add my name to this petition

I fully object to the signing of the ETS and the Copenhagen Treaty.

I can't believe the Australian public will sit back and just take this. Vote no! We had more debate on introducing a GST! I'm disappointed there is no major party standing up to this rubbish.

Please add my name to this petition against the ETS and the Copenhagen Treaty.

If this insane scheme were to succeed, the as yet unforeseen ramifications may well see the specter of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse come true in our life time. Now is the time for all members of the coalition from it's leaders to the backbenchers, to stand fast against the UN and it's gaggle of sycophantic toadies know as the Rudd Government.

We object to Australia adopting an Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) and the Copenhagen Treaty as foreshadowed by the Rudd Government.

I am strongly opposed to the Emissions Trading Scheme and to the signing of Copenhagen Treaty. Kevin Rudd needs to stay at home in Australia and fix all our problems ( and there are plenty of them ) before galavanting all around the world embarrasing us. He's a fraud the sooner we get rid of him the better.

i fully endorse this petition

i do not believe in man made global warming, taxing Australians will do nothing to change the climate, im against another tax which will primarily effect lower income families.

No to the ETS and NO to signing any treaty at Copenhagen.

Once again the joe blog has to pay dearly for large corporations.

I am opposed to signing any ETS now or ever.

Please vote against this insanity

I resent being called a denier when what I am is sceptical of politicians' attempts to "fix" a problem.

Please add my name to this petition. Taxing us will not change the weather.

I agree with the petition.

I strongly support this petition against the ETS.

i fully support this petiton.

I support this petition.

I will not be voting for a political party who supports such an insane 'scheme'.

I listen to Alan Jones and all the guys at 2GB together with Jim Ball on 2UE. If it wasn't for these people we would not have known anything about this Treaty. I do not want my grandchildren living in a different world to what I have known. I do not want this ETS Treaty to be signed at Copenhagen by our Government. I do not want a Global Government to rule my country. I want my Government to look after my country. I thank you Mr Barnaby Joyce, Mr Alan Jones and 2GB to bring this to the public media. No to ETS. No to extra Taxes.

No ETS. The Science is not proven.

Chairman Rudd and Madam Wong are just to eager to sign us up for their ETS without any meaningful debate, on something that has too many holes in it, will lower our standard of living and will not make one Iota of difference if WE go ahead or not. It is about the 'Great Leader' grandstanding on the world stage for his own ends. I reject their ETS outright.

I support this petition as I do not understand why we should commit Australians to further debt and cost when our contribution is so small as if costs for everyday things are'nt getting dearer already. Carbon Dioxide is NOT a polluter as plants need it to survive.

No ETS and no TREATY. Thanks for people like Barnaby Joyce and Corey Barnardi. Shame on everyone trying to close down public debate especially our taxpayer funded ABC and the Australian Media in General.

I stronglyobject to the Emissions Trading Scheme {ETS) and fully support your online petition

I support the above Petition.
*** Mr Rudd, Please tell the truth to people! Whatever happened to "The Truth, The Whole Truth And Nothing But The Truth" ? ***
It has been proven that the human production of CO2 is completely negligible in terms of all greenhouse gases.
Naturally produced water vapour is a much greater contributor!
Moreover, naturally produced CO2 is MUCH more prevalent than human-produced CO2!
We do not need another tax (the ETS) Mr Rudd.

I wholeheartedly support this petition.

I strongly support this petition.
Wake up Australia before it's all given away.

I fully support this petition...this is bad policy aside from any issue with climate change and it must be defeated.

Just say NO!

I cannot believe we have moved so far already in destroying this wonderful country where my childhood memories are of peace, contentment and hard work. I do not support the PM signing anything as my representative, without all his constituents having first had an opportunity to vote in a referendum or at the poll

I fully support this petition. No ETS, no Copenhagen Agreement.

fqVote NO to this crazy ETS

Do not sign anything without a referendum.

I support your petition.I don't trust Penny Wong nor Prime Minister Rudd.

another thing that he will get wrong.

I fully support the pettion

No to ETS.

Keep up the good work Barnaby. NO ETS

What we are dealing with here is a dangerous, ego driven would be dictator
hell bent on big noteing himself and destroying democracy. Wake up Australia, before it's too late and we find ourselves in bondage. Good on you Barnaby. keep going for as long as it takes. Absolutely no to Rudd and Wong and their proposed ETS tax, and absolutely NO TREATY.

The policy needs a lot of work and forthought before it can be enacted into law. In its current form, it disadvatages Australia to the advantage of other nations and the profit of a few corporations. I strongly object to the ETS in its current format.

Please everyone, SIGN THE PETITION!

Say no to a scheme that will do absolutely nothing to fix a problem that in all likelyhood does not exist.

Say no to signing a treaty that effectively forms a socialist world government that overides our own constitution.

Stop Rudd from creating a pointless new tax, stop him from weakening our constitution, stop him from giving away our country's wealth, stop him from implementing his socialist idealogies upon us. STOP RUDD FROM BETRAYING OUR COUNTRY.

Barnaby, you are living in the dark ages. Overwhelming scientific evidence and the overwhelming majority of scientists say that global warming is caused by human activity, and that we need to act on it NOW. You are dismissing this overwhelmiing evidence, without having done your homework. If you can't be part of the solution, you continue to be part of the problem.

I don't like being told lies.
I am deeply insulted by bare-faced lies.

How can any sane person agree with legislation that turns a lie into a truth in law? When nature contradicts man's laws, nature has the veto. vis. Canute vs Tide.

CPRS legislation may only pass after the successful repeal of the Law of Gravity.

I cannot understand a government signing a trading scheme without fully declaring the ramifications to the Australian people. I support Barnaby Joyce

The future of Australia should be in the hands of Australians, not the UN which has proven beyond doubt that it is a totally inept organisation which exists only for the retention of itself an the equally inept people who make it up. It has no will for the betterment of the earth of anyone in it apart from themselves
We need a government that wants Australia to be Australia; to be strong and for Australia to be the master of its own destiny. It seems to me that the current government is hell-bent on giving away our money, our resources and our right to govern ourselves. Vote NO while there's still time to prevent us becoming just another third world country.

I totally agree with you Barnaby. I am a nonbeliever in Global Warming being caused by us and if it were how can the Ice Age be explained.

I strongly support this petition.

I urge the Senate to vote down any bill trying to impose an ETS tax on the Australian electorate and support Barnaby Joyce in his endeavours to educate the public to the dangers of such a tax.

NO to the ETS pensioners cannot afford it.
NO to rudd tell him to look after Australia and stop trying to join the international set he's not big enough

Please Please Please can we be, as Australians, a vocal MAJORITY in opposition to this completely ficticious solution to a problem that is yet to be proven. Us as Australians have so much to lose with the introduction of an ETS or any other similar scheme introduced by either side of politics. There is nothing to be gained by taxing the end consumer essentially in the HOPE of reducing carbon emissions by a poofteenth of a percent.
NO TO AN ETS OR AN ETS IN DISGUISE!!!
NO TO ANY SORT OF GLOBAL GOVERNMENT!!!
This is our Australia Mr Rudd... Not yours and not the labor party's. If we can have a referendum on something that will have virtually nil effect such as becoming a republic... WE DESERVE AT LEAST A REFERENDUM ON SOMETHING LIFE CHANGING SUCH AS THE INTRODUCTION OF AN ETS!!!

Please dont let this ETS destroy our country Vote no to it or any compromise.

The whole concept of an ETS and what it will mean is, in my view and many people I talk to, very bad for Australia.
They are Ruddy Wrong dont let them do it!
DEFINATELY NO ETS!

I agree with senator Barnaby Joyce do not sign anything to give united nation more power to use against Australia no tax no ets no treaty

Global warming is another scare mongering tactic. There is no such thing as global warming and so I am against signing any treaty wihich is based on this farce, and will be an economic distaster for our "Lucky Country".

The science is far from settled.
There has never been any significant public debate, only exaggeration, intimidation and one-sided reporting.
Even outright, intentional fraud has been committed - witness the Mann "hockey stick".
The ETS is nothing more than a massive taxation scheme supported by irresponsible, undisciplined governments that have an insatiable appetite for our dollars.
Furthermore, we should never, ever sign any treaty which requires Australia to submit to any UN authority as it is an unelected, unaccountable organisation of which the majority of members are despots and tyrants.

I am totally opposed to any leader of our Nation signing any agreement anywhere without the full knowledge and agreement of the Australian population. In total disagreement with the Copenhagen agreement.Thank you for the stance you are taking and the oportunity for me to have a say.
Best Wishes.

I am a scientist. I do not agree with the "consensus". So I guess there is no consensus. And just in case, I know of many, many other scientists who disagree.

I support this petition. ETS is a waste of public money and resources. Science is far from being settled and all IPCC findings should be reviewed by scientists not linked to 'green' or 'warming' money.

I strongly support the petition - say NO to ETS

I stronglly endorse the petition started by Senators Joyce and Nash against the proposed Emissions Trading Scheme and the non signing of the Copenhagen Treaty. I do not think the ETS will be effective nor do I think it will amount to anything other than an additional tax for the Government to collect. We are already paying too much tax and I'm fed up with the wastage and non futureproofing that purveys all governments in this country. Additionally, I reject completely the draft Copenhagen treaty would encourage the Coalition to do all it can to stop any Australian government giving away our Constitutional Rights to an unelected world body. The whole concept is totally repugnant and we want it stopped.

To the Honourable President and members of the Senate in Parliament assembled:
The petition of the undersigned shows that we object to Australia adopting an Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) and the Copenhagen Treaty as foreshadowed by the Rudd Government. Your petitioners ask that the Senate reject the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme, (CPRS).

Regards,
Maresso Family

Barnaby thank you for fighting for sanity and the wealth of this nation. The ETS and the UN Treaty for ripping wealth out of Australia must be stopped

Count me in, Barnaby.

The world has gone mad with this AGW garbage! I was down at Bondi and as I sat on the sand, I tried to calculate the ferocity and magnitude of the disaster that would thrust itself on us all should the seas rise by a few centimetres. Hmmmmmm...the water might just reach my toddler's little toes as he sat there shovelling sand.

I am angry at the media for not laughing or at the very least challenging the hyperbole whenever Rudd, Wong, Garrett, etc sprout their meaningless propaganda.

It's about time the Opposition finally took a stand against this madness. Well done to Barnaby Joyce, Cory Bernardi, Dennis Jensen and Tony Abbott to name a few. Time also for them to vote in favour of their own ETS.....Exit Turnbull Strategy!!!

As small group of scientists (mathematicians) we have conducted a review of the available material and have concluded that the earth is not warming, forget about co2 being the cause, that's far more speculative. In fact, the ultimate speculation is that a group of politicians in Canberra can pass laws that will change the climate. This is something that should be in an episode of the Simpsons.

I strongly support this petition.

Please oppose the ETS in it's entirity. Thankyou

Hey Kevvie! If you expect me to say 'how far?' when you ask me to bend over you've got another thing coming! Support an ETS....fair suck of the sauce bottle mate!

I fully support this petition against the ETS and the Copenhagen Treaty.

no ets for australia simple as that take note malcolm you go down this path at your and the libs peril

I agree with Senator Barnaby Joyce - NO ETS.

Europe is already controlled by a faceless group from Brussels. Do not let Australia come under similar controls by accepting this ridiculous treaty and useless ets proposal. Do not sign away the sovereignty of our country.

I strongly support this petition also.

I strongly support this petition against this very destructive scheme and against the lunacy of the Rudd and Wong brigade in pushing their ETS barrow. While I believe in looking after our planet, I never have believed in the "global warming" nonsense because I have experienced many changing weather patterns during my lifetime and believe them to be naturally occurring phenomena. I hope many thousands of people support this petition. Stand up and be heard and don't let yourselves be railroaded into such a retrograde and destructive scheme which will bring hardship to each and every one of us!

OK Rudd enough posturing. No more taxes, ets out for the world and you are out of UN. Do not sign anything on behalf of Australia without a referendum

I do not wish the Rudd government to legislate an ETS or sign the Copenhagen agreement

To Whom It May Concern

Do not sign the treaty. I am completely againt any form of an ETS.

Dave McLennan

I fully support this petition against the ETS and the Copenhagen Treaty.

This madness must stop.
Don't sign any form of a treaty without approval from us, the edectorate.
Rudd does not have a mandate to sign any treaty.

I fully agree with this petition.

To the Honourable President and members of the Senate in Parliament assembled:
The petition of the undersigned shows that we object to Australia adopting an Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) and the Copenhagen Treaty as foreshadowed by the Rudd Government. Your petitioners ask that the Senate reject the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme, (CPRS).

Don't sign.

Barnaby Joyce thankyou!
We have someone who not only can see through the ego tripping, power stricken,micro manager,no detail to policy,bully and dictator of a PM, but who cares for the people of Australia and is standing up for us!
I absolutely will sign this partition. If Rudd is allowed to continue he will destroy this beautiful country of ours.Our taxes are going to be above what any of us can afford and our democracy will suffer.Rudd does not care what the Australian people think,he will do what he has to do to " be a world leader" and look out who gets in his way!
Frightening!!

I want "climate change" examined more thoroughly and the facts presented to me in a independent and unbiased way.
I am tired of "climate change" zealots ramming their alarmist ideology down my throat.
Remember, popular opinion once believed the earth was flat and the earth didn't revolve around the the sun.
Don't destroy Australia's economy on suspect green ideology.

I support this petition... Count me in

Dear Barnaby,
Well done. I fully support your petition. Penny Wong is a mere typewriter for Rudd's delusions on this topic. However, I'm completely surprise as to why the Leader of the Opposition, does not realise that one does not cross the bridge before one comes to it, as in the case of the Copenhagen Conference. As for this show pony PM Rudd, his delusion of grandeur (ETS) will be of a cost of such, that such a scheme for our country will impose an enormous debt beyond reach, which will, have wide ramifications for future generations.

The current Wikipedia encyclopedia has not shown any change in the world's atmospheric structure of principal layers. - So why are the panic buttons being pushed?

Even scientists can't agree so why the mad rush to commit Australia to something that will cost everyone enormously and may be of no benefit.
I am opposed to any signing.

I agree with you Barnaby Joyce - do everything you can to stop this its just another Rudd tax and a grab for glory for Kevy.

Pity the Governor General is a COWARD! Where are Sir Phillip Game and Sir John Kerr when they're needed. Sack Rudd!

I do not want this ETS Treaty to be signed at Copenhagen by our Government. I do not want a Global Government to rule my country. I want my Government to look after my country. I thank you Mr Barnaby Joyce, Mr Alan Jones and 2GB to bring this to the public media. No to ETS. No to extra Taxes.

No ETS.

The is hole climate change thing is just a tax grab- a con.

Climate change happens everyday of the year. It will as long as there is an earth.

How was a Australia created through climate change. For example, once Tasmania was joined to the mainland by a land bridge then the climate changed, the sea level increased and it be came an island. A changing climate is a part of the evolution of the world.

Barnaby, give them hell. There are so many people out here in middle Australia that would be so happy for The PM to go to an election over this Climate Change issue.

I believe that Labour would be a massively defeated. And tell Mr Turnbull his support for the ETS in whatever form he represents it is seen as him cynically just trying to hold on to his seat.

Peter.

I fully agree with this petition

No to the ETS for Australia. Yet another tax will have nil effect on global temperatures. Wake up Malcolm, time to stand for something - NO ETA - NO RUDD.

Barnaby,

I totally agree with your stand on the Rudd governments ETS. It is a new tax that will have no effect on climate change. There are plenty of other strategys our government could try that would not dip directly into our pockets. Someone needs to show true leadership on this issue and you have taken a strongly supported stand. Good Luck.

Regards Denis Lynch

NO ETS.

I fully support this petition

I Strongly support the petition against the ETS.

Abandon this madness,let sanity prevail.

Re So Called Climate Change.
The Earth has been changing climate for thousands of years.
The evidence is there for anyone to see.
Just to mention one.
"Ostia," the port city for Rome 2 thousand years ago, is now 20 miles inland.
as is many of the world's towns.
The Poles have reversed themselves many time throughout history.
Evidence of this has been found in Aboriginal Camp Fires by Scientists.
All this was done by nature before Man' population exploded.
There is also evidence on Mars of Climate Change.

There are tens of thousands of scientists with qualifications specific to atmospheric science questioning the methodology used by the IPCC.

The major proponents of Climate Change. People often quoted as "experts" such as Gore, Stern, Garnaut, Flannery and Pachauri (Head of the IPCC) have no qualification relevant to the science involved and in fact three of the abovementioned are Economists, one a former Politiciian (now with business interests involved in Carbon Trading) and the other a Paleontologist (now involved in the media and Public Speaking (for large fees) which is perhaps more indicative their real interest in the subject.

Not Convinced that sacrificing more money will change climate . No planetary temp increase in the last decade even though carbon monoxide levels have increased.Climate change has occured since dawn of time and will continue with or without your taxes.I think that the proposed tax is a way the labour party will pay off It,s accumulated debts.

To the Honourable President and members of the Senate in Parliament assembled:

This petition has my full support and that of my family also.
No ETS!!! We object to the signing of the Copenhagen Treaty.

No ETS

Let us put this inane and unbelievably expensive proposal to bed once and foreall

Keep the good work up Barnaby, we are right behind you.

don't sign.

Thank God someone is speaking out aganst the absolute stupidity of this government. Keep up the pressure Barnaby!

I am a Liberal voter, but agree with you Barnaby, tell Krudd not to sign the ETS. Stick in there mate, I think the majority of voters are behind you.

I support the views of Senator Barnaby Joyce in regard the ETS. Go Barnaby!

Way to go Barnaby. Bore it up the labour government. The Australian people do not need a new tax nor do we need a government turning us into a very green but very "third world" country.

Jennifer Lynch

NO ETS.

I have signed the petition and posted a link to it on my Facebook page. It is so crucial that this legislation is beat down and never heard from again. How did this lie ever get so much credibility? How did it then build enough credibility that the nation is prepared to hand over its sovereignty? I feel like Mr Rudd is quietly and with a warm smile, raping Australia.

Thanks you so much Senator Joyce. I am so glad that you are willing to stand against this huge injustice. I can honestly say, having discussed this topic with a large number of people, that I can find nobody amongst those I know who support the ETS or even believe that Global Warming is anything other than a normal cycle.

The sky is not going to fall Chicken Rudd - Open your eyes - The Emperor is BUTT NAKED!!!

I support Senator Joyce's petition against the ETS.

I'm with Joyce.

I do not want this ETS signed the Government must listen to the Australian people.

I am totallly opposed to signing anything prior to Copenhagen, and am against what they are proposing. why are they not publishing the agreement so people can see what is in it? ETS is just another tax which will penalise us. Warming has been happening since the ice age. Volcanic activity is warming the ocean, not carbon emissions.

I'm with you all the way. We have a goverment where the majority of labour members are ex ? communists, now socialists, can a leopard change his spots? Chairman Rudd is taking a leaf out of Lenins book. Stalin, Kim il Jong, Poll Pot, and the like. Now no free speech for our elected members.

This ETS madness must be stopped at all costs. The "climate change" argument is only a smokescreen to disguise the true intent of the Copenhagen treaty. If it is not stopped, would the last person to leave Australia please turn out the lights.

I am eager to add my name to this petition. How dare Kevin Rudd PRESUME he can sign away my freedom and democratic rights on this madness of 'climate change'. I fear greatly for the future of all Australians.

Thanks Barnaby - you have my support
Bev Fisher

Please do not sign this treaty under any circumstances.

Thank you Barnaby for having the courage and conviction to hold this government to account. This pernicious legislation will wrest more pain on Australians for a negligible outcome.

The war of carbon dioxide has become a fanatical witch hunt headed by the self proclaimed inquisitors eager to hold us to ransom under the guise of the UNCCC COP13.

The only sectors to benefit from this tax are the finance sector that will trade in these derivatives and the government lining its pockets!

I appeal to the Liberal and Independent Senators to back the National's stance and likewise vote against this wanton impost.

All that we are doing is creating another financial instrument that can be traded. Even if there is a problem with carbon, this is not the way to solve it.

I fully endorse all aspects of the petition presented by Senator Joyce.

I strongly endorse this petition. We do not want this useless but expensive tax which will not achieve any impact on "climate change". "Maintain the rage" Senator Joyce.

Surely the goverment has bigger issues to deal with than an ETS.

No ETS, climate change isn't man made, the tax will be. You can't tax solar activity can you? i'm pretty confident that big ball in the sky has a little more to do to the climate than man could ever do, its like blaming the toast for the heat in the toaster.

Thank God there is still a politician who stands for what he believes in!!! well done Mr. Joyce

I fully support this petition against the ETS and signing any document at the Copenhagen Treaty.

The Rudd Tyranny and Socialist dictatorship Must Stop.
Send this clear message to Rude and all the Bedwetters who follow him that Australia and Australians will NOT put up with TREASON.

I remind you all
AUSTRALIAN CONSTITUTION
44. Any person who - (i.) Is under any acknowledgement of allegiance, obedience, or adherence to a foreign power, or is a subject or a citizen or entitled to the rights or privileges of a subject or citizen of a foreign power shall be incapable of being chosen or of sitting as a senator or a member of the House of Representatives

I am vehemently opposed to the ETS and the Copenhagen Treaty, both of which are based on pseudo-science and promoted by vested interest groups. This nonsense has gone far enough. They are grabs for more power and more money.

Please vote NO to these insane propositions!

NO to ETS etc etc etc! ENOUGH please

I am totally opposed to signing any treaty or paying any money to the U.N. in connection with this farcical ETS scam.
There has been no debate and contrary to politicians scaremongering, the science is not in.
Politicians will ignore the entreaties of ordinary Australians in this regard at their own peril.

I believe in God, I believe in nature, I do not believe that man can make changes to our world climate. I appeal to the government not to sign the ETS in Copenhagen.
Stanley Proud

Having downloaded and examined the temperature data myself, I have concluded that the Northen hemisphere is warming slightly, whereas the Southern hemisphere temperature appears to be cooling slightly. There appears to be uncertainty in the scientific community regarding the sun. Its output appears to be constant, but we only have 30+ years of accurate satellite data to support that assertion. There appears to be a relationship between low sunspot activity and low temperatures eg the cooling in the Middle Ages when the Thames froze. Given the uncertainty surrounding the whole issue, committing to an expensive ETS could harm our economy for little or no purpose.

I strongly endorse the petition by Senator Joyse

I am totally dismayed at this underhanded way to redistribute wealth to underdeveloped nations. Using faulty science to brainwash the gullible in our society.

As a high school student, I can see the massive effect this will do to already stuggeling farmers..I fully support this petition against the ETS

NO to Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS)
NO to Copenhagen Treaty

Do something effective to help the environment - like ; manage land fill, tax plastic, tax marketing and clean up the rubbish in the ocean.

I endorse the petition that requests our government not introduce an Emissions Trading Scheme or sign any treaty at Copenhagen that binds our nation to commitments that will have no bearing on future climate but will bury us in a wasteful beauracracy and productivity stifling measures that in time will increase impoverishment of nations.

This rediculous ETS is as daft and reckless as Rudd!
Scap it NOW!!

I most strongly endorse Senator Joyce's petition against the CPRS & any treaty @ Copenhagen. I am a scientist, and after investigating the "science" of climate change, am totally sceptical of the alarmist fear-mongering about what is nothing but natural change.

My family and I refuse to put our backing behind any government/political party that support this ETS and Copenhagen Treaty.

I strongly agree with Senator Joyce. We do not need this ETS

I do not want the goverment to sign the Copenhagen Treaty.

I believe it is time to send the ETS and rudd into history as bad jokes. It is hard to determime which is the bigger joke. If it was not so serious, it would be funny. Time for the leader of the opposition to grow some balls and earn his pay for a change.

No to an ETS Sack rudd. force an election.Expose the fraudsters.

I fully support your effort regards this petition keek at it regards fletch

My wife and I do not support the government's call for an ETS. We agree with and endorse this petition.

NO ETS - No elected Australian Government has the right to sign away Australia’s sovereignty without a referendum.

NO treaties with unelected corrupt international committees like the UN and Co.

Will a constitutional QC stand up and work pro bono for the people and take the Government to the High Court of Australia?

I totally support this petition. Introducing an ETS will not stop the climate from changing as it has done for millions of years. Barnaby you seem to be one of the few people in parliament with backbone, prepared to stand up for the silent majority. We are sick of the wishy washy attitude of Agforce and various industry groups who are always prepared to surrender when the going gets tough.

I reject this rediculous scheme which is based on flawed computer models, backed by the IPCC Doomsday Cult and supported by politicians that are too scared to tell the public it's a scam. In addition I am shocked that the Prime Minister of my country has deemed me and my four children to be dangerous people because we disagree with him. He belongs in Stalins Russia of the 1950's.

Anthropogenic Global Warming theory does not seem like science, more a politically inspired religion and perhaps even part of the "new world order" that mr Rudd talks about
No more taxes

I do not want the ETS it will cost Australian jobs.

No to the ETS and no to the Copenhagen Treaty
These are poorly veiled attempts by K Rudd to exhalt himself on the world stage for K Rudd`s ego not for the benefit of the Australian people.
Thanks for the opportunity of a voice , Barnaby, more than K Rudd has done!

Stick to your guns Barnaby - don't allow this tax to pass through. No to ETS, No to Copenhagen Treaty. It is a very sad state of affairs when the Governement chooses to bow to the very vocal minority regarding this issue. I fear for the future of our country and despair at the creeping presence of communism that has been allowed to foster at the expense of common sense. The do-gooders and bleeding hearts really have no idea of the realities of life with many of their pet issues - and have been encouraged by the Government to continue to hound the average citizen to 'conform' to their way of thinking. I'm sorry, but I would like to live in democratic Australia, not a communist banana republic. It makes me very sad when I think of the values that we once had as a Nation have been eroded so quickly by the leftist policies of this current Government. I am also amazed that the population cannot, or will not, see that any form of Carbon Tax is actually a blatant grab for money and will produce nothing of substance. In fact, it is only making money out of hot air. Sure, we need to protect our environment, but the ETS etc. is a death sentence for any form of hope this country has to actually progress into the future. It is no wonder our businesses move offshore to conduct their affairs..... What a joke Australia has turned into.

It sincerely believe that ALL members of the Rudd government must be either insane or just too scared to question their almighty ambitious dictator!!!

I support Senator Joyce's proposal that Australia DOES NOT sign any agreement at Copenhagen, and I also suppport his view that an ETS is not needed.

ETS is the biggest con of all time,and why the big hurry to sign?? Hidden agenda perhaps? More tax?? Copenhagen, forget it, another scam.
Senator Joyce, keep up the pressure, wish there were more like you.
Wong is wrong and Rudd is a dud, along with the rest of them, who won't say what they think. If they are allowed to continue with this rubbish, we will have no agriculture, as it is slowly being squeezed to death with red tape and taxes.
NO ETS AND NO COPENHAGEN

I do not agree with an ETS, or that climate change/global warming is caused by human habitation. The climate has been changing since the beginning of time, just because humans are here doesn't mean we are the cause.

Totally agree to support this petition. Why the big hurry Mr Rudd ?.
Decide in haste and repent at leisure.

I see absolutely no reason for introducing an ETS before any other nation. In fact I don't see any reason to introduce any ETS at all. And as for the CPRS, plants do not consider CO2 a 'pollutant'.

Global Warming IS NOT something that human beings can do anything about so why should we pay for something that hasbeen going on for thousands of years without hurting anybodt or thing. Wake up government you are being duped

Global Warming IS NOT something that human beings can do anything about so why should we pay for something that hasbeen going on for thousands of years without hurting anybodt or thing. Wake up government you are being duped

Having read the Copenhagen Treaty (Draft copy) I request that Senator Joyce records a no vote to the signing of the ETS Document.(s)

No ETS, No Copenhagen Treaty!!!

Kevin Rudd, do not sign the ETS. Stop the world from manufacturing crap products instead!

I do not understand the ETS; and what's with the hurry to get it passed by the end of the month! It appears to be a giant tax redistribution on a scale I have not witnessed before. The ETS represents the new battleground - and I am prepared to let my voice be heard and to take actions to let my politicians know that I do not support passing the ETS before the end of November. I am concerned about the future and our impact on the environment; And I support innovation in our energy supply and our way of doing business and living standards. BUT I do not support passing the ETS legislation before the end of the month.

You are selling Australian sovereignty Mr Rudd under the guise of the EFT .....What have they promised you in return? maybe a UN power job when you have finished stitching Australia up. This is a global push to empower a one world government how dare you sell Australia's sovereignty NO EFT

The ETS is another tax and nothing else. There is much information concerning the alternative view of Climate Change, that has not been revealed yet either by Rudd, Turnbull, and their supporters. That information needs to be freely made available to the public.

To date it has not been and so I reject the ETS without the full scientific rationale debate.

Cherrypicking scientists who support Man Made Climate Change is only half the story.

Why the big hurry Mr Rudd ?I totally support this petition.
Remember decide in haste & repent at leisure.

Fight on Barnaby. The self interests of Rudd and his cohorts including members of the Liberal Party are gradually being exposed.

A big No to ETS in any form.

The ETS is nothing more than an employment termination scam. It will do nothing to the climate but will savagely damage our country and our economy.

I wholeheartedly agree with this petition.

Totally support this petition. As beef producers, recently burnt out in the Gaeta fires, we have enough worries without the threat from an ETS being introduced. When are governments going to realise that farmers and graziers are doing it tough without introducing any other red tape issues for us to deal with. Keep up the good work Barnaby, you are the only parliamentarian with any backbone.

I am totaly opposed to Australia signing this Treaty.

i do not want the governent to sign the Copenhagen treaty in any form, we are the people! this has not been debated discussed or even taken to the people.

I have always said that the ETS was another money grab, money for nothing, us the taxpayer always pay.

“To the Honourable President and members of the Senate in Parliament assembled:

The petition of the undersigned shows that we object to Australia adopting an Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) and the Copenhagen Treaty as foreshadowed by the Rudd Government. Your petitioners ask that the Senate reject the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme, (CPRS).”

I fully support this petition calling to drop the ETS or is it ETTax.
CO2 is a trace gas in the atmosphere of .038 concentration ( 380 ppm ).
CO2 is a plant food & only becomes toxic in concentrations above 50000 ppm. The BOZO climate alarmists have got it Wong & the KRUDD government with assistance from some Liberals is hell bent on imposing this new TAX with no disclosure of consquences.
Good on you Barnaby J.

I fully support this petition. No ETS

I agree, we do not need or want an ETS Tax. Neither do we want our Government to sign any treaty without our concent. It is likely that if they do we will be under laws that we will have no control over in the future. It's all about central contol and the world will become a totalian state.
Why aren't the media telling us what is really behind all this?
Keep at it Barnaby!

No to the ETS
NO to Rudd
No to Wong
No to the Copenhagen treaty.

The ETS is simply a way of government and various spiv middlemen of collecting cash from the punters. Global climate change is not man made and carbon is not pollution.

Please reject the ETS and do not sign any UN treaty in Copenhagen.

Australia should not "go it alone" by placing a tax on our economy, when other nations do not. Australia should not be funding another Kingdom of UN Administration.

Even if AGW is true - the only outcome from this tax will be the transfer of production and jobs to countries that do not have the ETS. Ironically enough, many of these countries will then produce more REAL pollution than would be made in Australia (due to lax environmental laws in many countries).

The ETS is a form of religious self-flagellation. Punishment to appease guilt without actually achieving anything. In fact, it is worse, as everyone else has to suffer the flogging with Mr Rudd and Ms. Wong.

Many brave persons laid down their life for our freedoms. The ETS is a sham and transfer of power to a centralist world organisation. How many people have sold out for a few peices of silver. There is never any entitlement without obligation and one day the piper will want to be paid.

Whether you believe in man-made global warming (my position) or not, the ETS does not address the issue. Rather, it is a mechanism for wealth transfer, bigger government and more interference in our lives. Twenty years ago the Berlin wall fell because people wanted their freedom. How soon are the lessons of the past forgotton.

I fully support Senator Joyce on this issue, "for we are young and free".

The ETS legislation as presented to the Parliament is premature and makes questionable assertions as to the scientific case for it. The science of climate change is still in its infancy and needs to be thoroughly tested before huge commitments with gigantic implications for the economy and the tax system are mandated. These as presently foreseen could lead to the undoing of Australia as a sound and stable nation, which it remains at present. The call to make us look good internationally is also premature, indeed a nonsense.

Man has been polluting the earth for less than 150 years. It is obvious that we should try to reduce this, but if you think that this will stop global warming you are under estimating nature and over estimating man. What the Government is proposing will send the country broke but will not change global warming, or is it cooling? We should be trying to adapt to what nature gives us wether it is warming or cooling.

i think all this is going to do is to cost us a lot more in tax down the track and cost rural australia jobs

Who ever would have dreamed that our country could be just weeks from signing away its freedom to a one-world power! Mr. Rudd, do the people of this country who you represent, have any say in our future anymore? The ETS is a nothing but a disintegrating cover up for more government control.

The coalition should not sign the CPRS into law. Instead they should be using their platform to educate the public in a balanced and rational way on the true science behind global warming, not the unbalanced, sensationalist, "sky is going to fall in" type of tripe we currently get from scientisits who's careers depend on maintaining the scare, politicians with their "controlling" agendas, and a mainstream media who exist to sell fear.

Having now heard the interview which Alan Jones had on air recently with Lord Monkton, my wife and I are greatly alarmed that the proposed Copenhagen Treaty should be signed by the Rudd Government. The Draft of this Treaty proposes a one World Government from which signatories will be unable to extract themselves, the object of which is to transfer the wealth of democratically elected western nations to poorer nations as compensation for our carbon emissions via the vast sums of money gathered from the Emmissions Trading Schemes (Taxes) - in our case alone, $50 billion of dollars. Lord Monkton clearly states that recent scientific studies just published, utterly destroys the UN and IPCC arguments upon which their climate change philosophy hinges, and that "climate change" in scientific terms, will soon become a dead issue. Is the Liberal Opposition and its Leader up-todate on this?

We are expecting our Liberal Federal Members, led by the Leader of the Opposition to immediately speak out about this, both in the Parliament and the media. If they are not prepared to take on board the new science re climate change and the views of Lord Monkton re Copenhagen, then we do not believe that they are representing our interests or that of the Australian people and our system of democratic government.

The problem is that both they and the media generally are not prepared to go against the trend to, both, denounce the nonsense that reducing CO2 emissions can alter climate change; and that the ETS is nothing but an enormous tax swindle on the democratic peoples of the world.

Who in their right mind would transfer $billions to the leaders of corrupt socialistic States in the belief that they would honestly utilise the money to reduce CO2, rather than pocket much of it into swiss bank accounts in their own name just as they usually do?

If these facts are openly raised with the Australian public, along with the huge increases we are already seeing in household energy costs, there will be a change in government.

Unless the Liberals get on board, our Senate votes will be going to the Nationals next election.

Don't sign as this will not benefit Australia and will only end up costing the country more money which we can't afford.

I glady add my name to this petition.
No ETS for Australia. No signing of the Copenhagen Treaty!

Thanks for the chance to say -
NO to Copenhagen Treaty and World Government
NO to an ETS Scheme
NO to another TAX

Good on you, Barnaby

No Tax on a trace gas in the atmosphere - not even on water vapour the main greenhouse gas. No Copenhagen agreement.

Let the poor climate change in peace as it always has and lets get on with providing food , water and electricity to those that really need it rather than climate rubbish.

A footnote to my petition comment----

CO2 concentration in the atmosphere is .038%

Thankyou Senator Joyce for giving the public a say on this so called Global Warming - Climate Change.

I am totally against the ETS, please don't sign anything whithout a referendum.

NO to ETS
NO to Copenhagen Treaty
Thanks Barnaby

As Professor Ian Plimer said, "No civilisation has ever been saved by a new tax."
Absolutely right!

I agree to this petition. No ETS

It is time this government woke up to itself. The current ETS is one big joke.

It is time this government woke up to itself. The current ETS is one big joke.

I agree with Barnaby, the ETS is a new tax that will do absolutely nothing for glabal warming

My wife and I strongly oppose the Govt's ETS policy. We are also alarmed at the distorted notions of climate change pedalled to our children through the school system. This is a most critical issue and needs to be fully exposed to enable the Australian people to understand the boundless ramifications which will impact our way of life. The ambitions of the proponents , namely K Rudd and P Wong , should also be closely scrutinised. Say no to any ETS concession in Copenhagen!

Sign this petition. The sleeping giant (Australians) are at last awakening to this scam. I come from a long line of Australian farmers since 1849 and I have always been aware of natural changes to the climate. Unfortunately the majority of the population have lost contact with the land and hence many have lost contact with the ongoing climate changes as it does not impact greatly upon their livelihood. Their ignorance has been preyed upon by the perpetrators of the false claim that man kind is causing climate change as many of those perpetrators have vested financial interests. The signing of the treaty in Copenhagen will not have any beneficial advantage to the majority of Australians, but will in fact as many others have posted in their comments in that most Australians will be affected financially to their detriment with no improvement to the so called man kind causing climate change.

Al Gore's Global Warming is the biggest scam in history!

A new tax cannot "save the planet".

No to ETS

WAKE UP POLITICIANS....WE DO NOT SERVE YOU, YOU SERVE US - THE PEOPLE!!!!!

I support you Barnaby. We do not want an ETS in any form. Farmers and graziers have so many txes on their operations already,and this would be another huge tax we would have to bear. I agree with Prof. Bob Carter, who presented some very convincimg data. it is a great pity more Australians choose not to listen!

I object most strenuously to this ridiculous tax and urge the Senate to kill it.

The people were never consulted with whats going on. Remember the saying "For the people, by the people" ? I say NO to being controlled by foreigners

I haven't been able to find any conclusive empirical evidence anywhere that climate change is caused by human activities or that climate change is anything other than a natural phenomenon.

Please do not burden the Australian public with an inaffordable tax that will put Australia's economy behind the rest of the world. Please look into the possibility that Climate change is not man-made and lets put funding towards fixing up things that actually affect your average Aussie like health, police funding, safer communities, etc.

This makes me so mad!
The ETS is nothing but a con, Con, CON!!!!
Is CO2 a pollutant? - NO!
• It is odourless, colourless and non toxic
• We all drink it in soft drinks and beer
• It is necessary for life (photosynthesis converts CO2 into O2 and carbon)
Greenhouse gases are 1% of the Atmosphere.
And they are
• Water Vapour 95%
• Carbon Dioxide 3.6 %
• Methane & others 1.5%
• Only 3.4% of the CO2 is human caused.
An ETS in Australia will reduce greenhouse gases by a millionth - the equivalent of reducing a piece of string a kilometre long by one millimetre.
And how much will it cost you and me to reduce Greenhouse gases by one millionth?
Frontier Modelling says it will cost Australia
• $50 Billion per year for 40 years
• That's $4,550 per taxpayer per year.
• An amount of CO2 reduction that everyone agrees will do nothing for the planet.
What will it cost us to reduce all of Australia's emissions?
No one can say exactly, but at the very least 20 times a 5% reduction or$91,000 per taxpayer per year.
And to put that amount of CO2 in context - Every few months China alone
increases its CO2 emissions by as much as Australia`s total amount.
Spain has been moving towards a renewable energy economy and now has 19% unemployment, whilst the real cost of power has risen 100%! Will Australia face the same costs under an ETS?
If this gets voted in, it will mean Australia`s economy will become the equivalent of Cambodia`s within 10 years.
And as for Kevin signing the Copenhagen treaty....
Why does Australia have to bow down to the UN at all when they are rogues? Kevin Rudd has absolutely no backbone to stand up for the good of our country - If he signs this you can say goodbye to all the farmers, food and industry as we know it. If they want us all to become vegetarians, where do they think that our food is going to come from? There will be no farmers left to supply it! And Australia won't have any money to buy in any from other countries - we'll have given it all to the under developed nations - either as donations or as fines! If no one has read the treaty Rudd is itching to sign, then do it - I doubt if he's read it at all - Rudd just wants to be the puppy dog of the big boss - World Government!
Read the treaty from this link below and open your eyes!:
http://www.quadrant.org.au/blogs/doomed-planet/2009/11/copenhagen-treaty

NO to ETS

NO to Copenhagen Treaty

CARBON TRADING, WHAT A LOAD OF RUBBISH. WOULD JUST ALLOW THE BIG MINING GIANTS TO BUY THEIR WAY OUT OF HAVING TO REDUCE POLUTION. NO ETS AND DO NOT SIGN COPENHAGE. PITY THE POLITICIANS WHO ARE ONLY INTERESTED IN KEEPING THEIR SEAT,THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE LOOKING AFTER THE INTERESTS OF THE PEOPLE. IT NEEDS TO BE STOPPED NOW. STICK IT TO THEM BARNABY.

Not another TAX.
NO to any form of ETS.
There is far too much conflicting information regarding global warming and carbon emissions for me to be comfortable with the governments policy.
I dont believe the government have a mandate to implement an emissions trading scheme as they are claiming. The ONLY clear mandate they gained from their election was to remove work choices.
If the government is so confident in their support of their costituents, lets see if they have the courage to take the ETS issue to a REFERENDUM.

You give away billions for a so called financial crisis. Then you want to rip it back off the genuine tax payers for a scheme that has no real scientific bases or facts to it. There is a lot more important issues to deal with than worrying about what gas sheep give off. Pastoralist are doing it hard enough with out you slugging them again.

a DEFINITE NO.....to the ETS AND THE TREATY.......
Kevin Rudd is way outdated on climate change.....the ETS is not going to change a thing.....just give more of our hard earned dollars to the Kevin Rudd Fund Appeal.
The Treaty......this is disgraceful to try and sneak this one in. Kevin Rudd should have made this one public. We definitely to not want this one signed with no get out clause....Why would we want to sign over our hard earned money to the UN on a yearly basis.....I hope people can see Kevin Rudd for what he really is, a liar and a sneak.

Well done Barnaby. Keep fighting. The last thing Australia needs is this ridiculous ETS!

the ets is only another tax get rid of this fool government

The ETS is a fraud, it will achieve nothing except leave us all poorer.

The ETS must be stopped as a massive amount of data exists to show that humans are not responsible for climate change. Solar activity has affected all the planets on the Solar System. This is simply a greed driven conspiracy by a small group of people with vested interests.

Furthermore Lord Monckton's dire warning about the Copenhagen Treaty must be heeded. The people of this country cannot afford a 2% impost on each and every financial transation. These monies will not be given to assist the poor people in third world countries, it will be given to the despots who run them. We are a sovereign nation who must never allow members of a global treaty control our industry, which they would have the legal right to do if the PM signs that Treaty.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Please note our family's opposition to Australia establishing an Emissions Trading Scheme or signing up to any international treaties requiring such. Our opposition is based on the following points:
1. An ETS would be an enormous change to the fundamentals of our economy and is based on science that many believe to be unproven, if not faulty.
2. An ETS would slug Australian industry and families with higher energy bills without making any discernable difference in world temperatures.
3. International Treaties that diminish our national sovereignty or make us beholden to unelected bodies are not in the national interest.

just another tax. the ETS must be stopped

Wake up Mr Rudd. The people have the right to decide what they want. You were elected by the people for the people, or did you forget that. We live in Australia not behind the Iron Curtain. We choose not you.

No ETS

The deceipt now evident in the Rudd/Wong ETS is becoming clearer every day! Why destroy the Australian economy and bring massive hardship onto the Australian economy & people on an ill conceived CARBON TAX, the effect of which will not make one iota of difference to overall world carbon emissions? There is a huge difference between supporting general polution reduction goals and this proposed massive grab for control/power by our egomaniac PM & his sidekick P Wong. Say NO to the ETS and let Rudd bring on a double disolusion of the Australian Parliament & fight an election on the reality of their ill conceived plans!

The ETS is all about Rudd securing votes and polishing his ego. Do not sign the ETS or the Copenhagen treaty.

I will not support Kevin Rudd in his quest to destroy our ecomony. It is absolute lunacy to think that he has any mandate to press ahead with this rediculus Treaty. Question is of course how do we stop him?

The whole climate change scenario is an exercies in scentific madness. It is a scam perpetrated by people who want to reduce the world's population (Malthusians and modern billionaries like Bill Gates et al) and third world dictators who hate Westeners and are bent on pulling the whole economy down to their level. The ETS is nothing more than a tax grab by the coprorate banking sector. Australia should certianly not sign any document in Copenhagen that weakens our sovereignty not agrees to implement an ETS.

Barnaby is doing a great job! It's clear humans are not responsible for climate change. The ETS is simply a tax.

This is a typical labour leader making promises that will destroy our economy and competitive position in the international market.Lets join after everyone else has signed.

Kevin, don't sign at Copenhagen. Don't sell our country out from under our feet. What do you want to be remembered for? Vision or blind ambition? Ego or giving everyone a fair go.
The ETS or CPRS or whatever it is called will just be a burden on our society. If you want to help the environment, get off your butt and save the Murray before it is too late. Bring in national recycling scheme. national transport scheme, and national education standards.
Stop playing populist politics and do something good for a change.
Cut the lip service and get your hands dirty fixing this country. Pull those State Labor leaders into line. Change the constitution. Do something

An ETS is likely to devastate our economy and do little to reduce worldwide emmisions. I therefore ask that this legislation not be passed into law until it is clear that the rest of the world will be acting with us, and not taking advantage of us.

Do not sign the ETS or the Copenhagen treaty. The deceipt now evident in the Rudd/Wong ETS is becoming clearer every day! Well done Barnaby. Keep fighting.

I do not want the government to sign the Copenhagen Treaty as I have no wish to be controlled by a government outside of Australia. Our country has been cooling and heating in regular cycles so the ETS and other green religoin talk is just making mountains out of molehills.

NO to ETS, its just another tax.

Don't you think you have your government hands in our pockets enough already. Too bad you have no idea what's it like being the average person or small business owner. You give very little but take a lot.

I do not wish for the government or incoming government to introduce an ETS.I request the Prime Minister to come clean and transparent about what he is agreeing to and signing of on at Copenhagen.

Consider me signed. I wholeheartedly reject the Carbon Reduction Action Plan.

Barnaby is the voice of reason - he has my support in most matters and especially his campaign against an ETS

As a primary school Headmaster I am concerned about the one sided nature of the "debate" and encourage the children to investigate the claims of both sides. Having done so myself (as best I can as a non-expert) I happily join this petition to vote no to ETS.

No to ETS

The climate will change as it always has, some are saying it is now actually getting cooler overall. It is not able to be stopped by a new tax. The miniscule amount that humans are responsible for does not even make much of a difference in the overall picture according to most of the scientists so what is this really all about. Get all the scientists to agree on the benefits before we agree to an ETS that will sign away some of our rights.

No to the ETS and Copenhagen

I am fully in agreement with this Petition.

Thanks for taking the stand you are on an ETS. I beleive the ETS is a tax
required by the Rudd govt. only to prop up their bad financial spending

To whom it may concern,

I would request that every possible step be undertaken to prevent The Prime Minister or any other authorised person who might act on his (or the Australian Government's) authority signing the porposed Copenhagen Treaty re the Carbon Emissions Trading Scheme and other clauses that have not been discolsed and discussed.

I am opposed to an ETS for Austalia which will have no effect on global warming and increase unemloyment and povery in our land. I support Senator Joyce's petition.

I fully support this online petition
No to the ETS.

The Coalition needs more people like Barnaby Joyce.

Totally agree with this ETS Petition.

I 100% support this petition by Senator Joyce ...

Also John Howard and President Bush where correct by not signing Koyoto and trying to make China & India seriously reduce emissions.. What did Kevin Rudd achieve by signing Koyoto = nothing.

I fully support this online petition.

No to ETS and no to Copenhagen. I agree totally with this petition

I am not convinced that "global warming" exists and even less that it is caused by human activity. I do not support an ETS scheme of any kind

I fully agree with, and support, this petition.

I strongly oppose the proposed Australian entry into an Emissions Trading Scheme. Global warming is a scam which will only benefit traders who make a lot of money without creating any value. Offerd to the world by the same team which brought us the Global Financial Crisis and the Enron scandal. Clearly Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant, but an essential ingredient for life and growth of vegitation. It cannot be demonstrated to be a greenhouse gas.
The proposed Colenhagen treaty is a veiled means of taking control from sovereign governments, the demise of democracy as it should be.
Mr Rudd spent too much time in China studying control of the media and totalitarian government.
Malcolm Turnbull should have more sense than to compromise on this. His merchant banker background gives a window to his priorities.

A resounding NO to the ETRS and the proposed Copenhagen treaty.

I totally agree with this petition

How dare Rudd sign away our country's sovereignity in this way- It is no less than treason, and will be a treaty that Australia can never ever reseign from.
This secretive document was witheld from the people and Rudd has no
mandate for anything this monsterous- The wealth of our country will be shipped overseas to the third world for ever, amounting to billions a year.
This idea that the West has produced all the Global Warming and now it's pay back time is lunacy.The developed Nations are being manipulated by White Guilt-

Rudd's idea of scientific discussion is to viciously denigrate and silence one side. If you want to see the science treated in a scientific and professional manner
, Google - Science and public policy institute
Watts up with that

Rudd will sign anything the UN puts in front of him regardless of the damage it does to our country. His PERSONAL AMBITION to be Secretary General of the UN comes first! His program since being elected, the overseas trips to raise his profile with world leaders hitting the phones, signing Kyoto and the GG's vote buying trip to Africa all point in that direction. He wan'ts to take an ETS to Copenhagen so he can soak up the adulation of those who strive for a centralised World order and he will let them know they can rely on him.

I totaly oppose the governments intention to introduce a carbon tax.
Global Warming is a fantasy that has been proven false. The world is NOT heating up.
Temperatures naturally fluctuate, meteorology records prove this fact.

Australia is presently in drought, water is needed, but governments choose to ignore this, and do nothing (claiming that nothing can be done to improve the situation), while other countries reclaim the desert (China, Saudi Arabia, Libya and Dubai come to mind).
We drain our rivers to service the cotton industry, exasperating the drought, and in turn increase our deserts.

The sky is not going fall on our heads, as the government would like us to believe


To risk Australia's future sovrenty is in my view an act of treason.
