NSW Treasury confirms job losses under Labor’s Carbon Tax

04/08/11

NSW Treasury figures have revealed the extent of the damage Labor’s Carbon Tax will cause to the NSW economy.

31,000 jobs will be slashed from the NSW economy while electricity prices will soar another 15 per cent.

This independent modelling exposes Labor’s claims that households will not be worse off under the Carbon Tax.

It’s another reminder that Labor can’t be trusted when it comes to the Carbon Tax and the impact it will have on the cost of living for families.

The NSW figures show that businesses will pay more than $4,200 a year,  just when many are battling to survive.

This is the last thing the Australian economy needs at the moment.

We can’t afford the largest state to be losing jobs and its economy held back because of a massive tax.  That will hit everyone.
