Impact of the Carbon Tax

This cartoon by InkClinct, does not only describe the impact of the Carbon Tax on the 'majority' (I chose majority as it does affect others more than is represented in the cartoon, and others less than is represented) but it also shows the view point politicians have when it comes to different party's policies. It is funny to see how over exaggerated some politicians become when different parties implement a policy. This is particularly evident in this cartoon with the implementation of the Carbon Tax. Tony Abbott sees it to cast a 'black shadow' over the Australian population and economy and that it will drain the people of their money. Whereas Julia Gillard sees the Carbon Tax to be able to boost the Australian economy and increase Australian profits which can therefore be passed onto the people. I personally believe the over exaggeration of political view points and policies does not help to win over the Australian population when it comes to elections, as people are more likely to follow someone who tells the truth than someone who lives on complete lies and false hopes. This article is particularly humorous as it shows the potential 'lack of knowledge' from the politicians who run this country (from all parties) or the hilariously over exaggeration on policies by other parties, but also by the implementing party; always offering the people more than they can give!
