Orwellian Carbon Tax Fines Hit Australians
Orwellian Carbon Tax Fines Hit Australians
5:36
Praised by Barack Obama as a model for the world, Australia's highly unpopular carbon tax, set to take effect from July 1st, is set to be policed by laws which forbid business owners from criticizing it for causing price rises -- with thought criminals who do so under threat of being hit with huge fines of over $1 million dollars. "SHOPS and restaurants could face fines up to $1.1 million if waiters or sales staff wrongly blame the carbon tax for price rises or exaggerate the impact," reports the Daily Telegraph. According to ACCC deputy chairman Dr Michael Schaper, the warning applies, "to comments made by staff over the phone, on the shop floor or in meetings. It also covers advertising, product labels, websites, invoices, contracts and contract negotiations." This draconian measure will be enforced by teams of "carbon cops" who roam the streets conducting snap inspections of businesses to ensure they are not making any reference to the tax. The characterization of dissent against the carbon tax as a criminal offense exemplifies how the measure passed last year goes way beyond merely forcing Australia's top 500 companies to pay an extra $23.78 per each tonne of CO2 emitted. The system will be rolled into a carbon trading system by 2015. Not only will Australians be whacked with price rises on everything from energy to food, small business owners will also be intimidated into silence when they are forced to pay out more for key supplies.

After several months of violence between anti-government rebels and Bashar al-Assad's government, the first step to peace has been taken. This weekend Syria made headlines when China and Russia vetoed a UN Security Council resolution to replace the current government. Many criticized the two countries for the veto but now Russia has influenced al-Assad to meet with the anti-government leaders in Moscow. According to some reports, the head of the Syrian National Council has rejected the Moscow invitation and will only talk until al-Assad steps down.

Japan starts up two nuclear reactors
Japan starts up two nuclear reactors
1:50
Japan's Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda announced that he had approved the restarting of two nuclear reactors to avoid an imminent energy crisis. All fifty of the country's reactors were shut down following the meltdown at Fukushima. Before that, atomic energy produced nearly thirty percent of Japan's electricity. Despit recent surveys showing most people in Japan want to abandon atomic energy, the prime minister said he had no choice -- parts of the country are facing a severe power shortage. After the prime minister's announcement, thousands of angry protesters gathered outside Noda's official residence to show their discontent. Ministers say the alternative to nuclear energy, fossil fuels, would drive up electricity bills, harm small businesses and still leave a severe power deficit. Noda is hoping that the promise of tougher safety measures will help avoid another Fukushima -- but many do not agree with his decision. Al Jazeera's Dominic Kane reports.

On arriving at the June 28 EU Summit, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she hopes to see an agreement on the growth and employment pact in the first meeting of the council. "During the first day of the European Summit we are going to discuss the growth and employment pact. We have worked on a good programme, especially concerning future investments but also for employment increase for young people. I hope we can agree today on this pact and to send a signal in complementing the fiscal pact, so that we show that we want fiscal stability on the one hand, but also growth on the other. 20% of young people in Europe have no job and if we want to convince the people of Europe, we have to do everything possible to increase employment."
