Dear
In just two weeks Aussie families will be slugged with a carbon tax
to pay for a ‘green utopia’.
But where is this money really going? And are our carbon tax
bureaucrats practising what they preach?
We did a little digging, and discovered what many long suspected:
While Aussie families are struggling, bureaucrats are living the
high life and travelling to exotic destinations at our expense.
*Documents released to the Australian Taxpayers’ Alliance under
Freedom of Information laws revealed that bureaucrats in the
Department of Climate change flew 6,528,616km last financial year,
costing us a staggering $3,274,286.40!*
And while these very people are lecturing us to act like we’re back
in the dark ages the carbon emissions of these flights equal over
1000 tonnes!
*The hypocrisy is staggering – it’s one rule for them, and another
rule for us. No wonder they are happy to slug airlines with the
carbon tax – they don’t have to pay the bill! *
So where were they flying to?
None other than the holiday resorts of Cancun, Vanuatu, Maiami,
Fiji, The Maldives, Grenada, Maimi, Barcelona… Must be tough having
to travel to places like the Caribbean & South Pacific all the time!
*The actions of Department staff make one thing clear: the carbon
tax isn’t about the environment, it’s about squeezing taxpayers for
their own benefit. *
And of course, it’s only the best in luxury travel for our
bureaucrats – no expense is spared! Many of these flights cost the
taxpayers up to /ten times/ what an online economy class ticket
would cost.
A round trip from Sydney to Bali cost /for one person/ $15,311!!!!!
I had a look on Jetstar just now, and you could get economy flight
for under $700! Then there’s the flight to Seaul ($15,688.57),
Thailand ($13,093.74pp for two people), Chile ($12,805.46)…
And this doesn’t even include accommodation: From $21,115.69 for a 5
star hotel in Thailand to the whopping $265,000 for the delegation
in Durban.
We asked who took these flights, but they refused to answer. It is
no wonder that the department of climate change refused to reveal
who took these flights – I’d be ashamed too if this was found out.
We shall be appealing this decision, because the Australian public
has a right to know whose holidays they are paying for!
This is just the first tranche of a series of documents we received
under Freedom of Information laws, and thank you to everyone whose
donation made this possible (we were charged over $750!) We shall be
releasing further data discovered about waste and misuse of taxpayer
funds soon.
Australians must known about these scams! Please forward
