It is all too hard, best to fast foward the next election and get the LNP in power.LNP winning is a given.

Good Point Tubs, I forgot to mention that charities are exempt from the Do not call register.

www.accc.gov.au/carbon There is alot of information on here.Business can not willy nilly increase their prices of goods and services using the carbon tax as a excuse.They can increase their prices, but the price increase must be substantiated .There are already businesses that are in some serious trouble with the accc . There is examples on the accc website.

We never get calls since being on the do not call register. Well, im only home 2 weeks out of 4.I dunno if the phone rings when im not here. Having said that, the home phone rang yesterday arvo.It said Private number on the screen.I normally dont answer private numbers I let the answering machine pick it up.This time I did.I did the normal thing I do when its a private number, I picked up the handset, but I didnt not talk into it .Normally if its a scam type thing, after about 10 seconds computor generated voice says Goodbye. Anyway it was like a mexican stand off.LOL. I said nothing and the other person said nothing.This went on for about 15 seconds.I then said hello.It was actually a gent who wants me to quote to plumb two pools for him.LOL.I fly out tomorrow so I am seeing him in two weeks time when I get back. So the do not call register seems to be working well.Well it has for the last 12 months or so.

Hi all, I have seen on Bigpond a few companies ripping customers off using the carbon tax as a excuse. Eg- a funeral business, trying to charge a family a extra $55 to bury their love one.The A%^hole lady on the phone said "even the dead still have to pay the carbon tax". Well I have to give credit where credit is due.That is not what Labour has implemented.Some companies are trying to make a buck out of this.Be careful.
