The environment is an important issue but it should not be used as an excuse to implement a big new tax on industry and households who are already struggling with massive increases in the cost of electricity, gas and the general cost of living. One Nation supports a clean and green Australia provided by practical environmentalism and the development of clean energy. We applaud the Queensland Government in its quest to develop bio fuel for aviation and believe there should be major tax breaks available for research and development in green industries.
The way forward for Australia is to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and foreign oil imports. The nuclear debate needs to be reopened and more done in the areas of rail infrastructure to assist in alleviating traffic congestion from our roads. A national recycling program would be beneficial for Australians, while changing over from plastic shopping bags to a superior quality corn starch shopping bag would completely resolve all associated environmental concerns. The Forestry commission should return to their original charter of investing in tree planting programs with a national strategy on reforestation established. This would lead to the re-development of a renewable timber industry.
One Nation wants to limit the massive surge of foreign companies buying up agricultural land for mining and introduce policies to slow the surge of useless and cheap imported products that are flooding our country by lifting quality and safety standards, especially on food imports. Common sense policies can only be a benefit for our country without having to resort to the big stick policies of Labor and the Greens, which are based more on oppressive ideologies and obscene tax revenues than practical logic.
