Am I correct in saying that the conclusion that this report reaches is that the carbon tax will have a minimal or neglible impact on the economy in the first few years?A quick search revealed this,

You did better than me on a Saturday night.32 pages was pretty heavy reading for a Saturday night, but I got through it in one piece.
It's actually really hard to find much decent information, in my experience. I guess that's what happens when you introduce a tax that is very hard for anyone that isn't a specialised taxation analyst to be able to comprehend at anything beyond a basic level. This tax fails the one of the principles of a good tax system - understandability!You did better than me.
I glanced at some of it quickly, but haven't read it.
I was really just pointing out that their's information around.
As does many of our taxes, but that's another rant for another day.This tax fails the one of the principles of a good tax system - understandability!

Oh well, I have had a go at researching it.

FOLLOWING the 2007 election I had always said that Julia [Gillard] would be the next Labor PM after myself.
I said that because I believed she would make a first-class prime minister following a period in office with engagement on the economic and national security agendas.
I had also told her and other cabinet and caucus colleagues that she would have my full support in achieving that ambition. I also said to her in early 2010 I had no intention of breaking the record book for being the longest-serving Labor prime minister and that my ambition was to have a seamless transition to her.
Former Labor leader Simon Crean declaring it was "a mistake" to dump Mr Rudd as leader but warning MPs "we can't change again".
Anyone catch 'The Bolt Report' this morning (well, as far as l know, it was todays episode on Channel 10). Was interesting. Swan was picked apart by Costello and made to look like a world class idiot.
A forecast on coal that won't help should it come to pass.I don't hold much truck with Bolt but really there is no excuse for Labor not producing a surplus this year.
In the 2011-12 fiscal year, tobacco excise poured $5.45 billion into the parched coffers of the federal government.
Where mining super-profits and the dollar-sensitive exporters of morally uncontroversial products have failed us, tax-wise, the gaspers just keep on giving and giving. This might give you the ghost of an idea why they remain legal, despite the government's otherwise settled mask of hostility towards the dried, cut and commercially packaged leaves of the plant known to the scientific world as Nicotiana tabacum.

Very funny...just as well that's in your opinion.
Bolt has a sizeable audience who will make up their own minds.
And no need to make a mockery of those who suffer depression either.
