OCO

 A month out, and already the carbon tax is ancient history.  And while no household bills have yet appeared to demonstrate the savings (or lack thereof) to the common battler, there is no doubt as to the identity of the big winners.
I do not have any specific inside information on this topic, so this is only my best guess as to what Gina Rinehart has been joyfully singing as she dances through the empty corridors of her palace (cue Disney winter wonderland music)...

OCO
Let it go,
There’s no carbon tax any more.
OCO
Let it go,
Put more oil rigs off shore.

The snow fell late on the mountains this year.
Carbon footprint, or a dream?
A country in isolation
Burning coal, and making steam.

The wind is howling and the swirling turbines glide.
Couldn’t keep them out, Murdoch knows I tried.

Don’t let them in. Don’t let them see
Transmission lines are too costly.
Conceal the real
Cost of the pole.
Their bills will grow...

OCO
Let it go
There’s no carbon tax any more
OCO
Let it go,
Let’s just heat the earth some more
I don’t care
If it’s hot today
OCO
Let it go,
The coal never bothered me anyway.

It’s funny how some distance makes Europe seem so small.
Their carbon trading system can’t get to us at all.
Out here in the smoky air
No asthmatics can breathe,
To give them a reprieve.

OCO
Let it go
There’s no carbon tax any more
OCO
Let it go,
Let’s just heat the earth some more
I don’t care
If it’s hot today
OCO
Let it go,
The coal never bothered me anyway.

Standing
Smoking
By the donors chosen
You won’t
Fine me
The tax is so behind me
Carbon, free to go.

Let it go
OCO
We won’t tax that anymore
Let it go
Let it go,
Let’s just heat the earth some more
I don’t care
If it’s hot today
Let the seas rise on...

The coal never bothered me anyway!
