Draconian powers of new "carbon [dioxide] cop" | Australian Climate Madness
The idea of carbon cops has been around for a while (see here), but now it is set out formally in the draft carbon tax legislation. The powers are draconian and intimidating, with previously sacred rights, such as that of avoiding self-incrimination, being swept away:A NEW carbon cop will be given sweeping powers to enter company premises, compel individuals to give self-incriminating evidence and copy sensitive records under a carbon tax package that will force about 60,000 businesses to pay 6c a litre extra for fuel.

Hello Mr. Nelson. I come to your site for info on harvests as you are a good source for crop yields, especially India. I don't know if you have noted this yet but India has set another record harvest this year. Now the problem is the governments lack of funds for farmer payments. http://www.hindustantimes.com/Cash-crisis-threat-to-record-harvest/H1-Article1-725199.aspx
