Entretanto, num país que tínhamos por democrático

está a acontecer ("The Government’s carbon cops are censors, too") à liberdade de expressão, na sequência da decisão do governo australiano de criar um imposto sobre emissões de CO2, isto (realces meus):
Now that the carbon tax has passed through [Australian] federal parliament, the government’s clean-up brigade is getting into the swing by trying to erase any dissent against the jobs-destroying legislation.

On cue comes the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission [ACCC], which this week issued warnings to businesses that they will face whopping fines of up to $1.1m if they blame the carbon tax for price rises.

It says it has been “directed by the Australian government to undertake a compliance and enforcement role in relation to claims made about the impact of a carbon price.”

There will be 23 carbon cops roaming the streets doing snap audits of businesses that “choose to link your price increases to a carbon price”.

Instead, the ACCC suggests you tell customers you’ve raised prices because “the overall cost of running (your) business has increased”.

Hitler tinha as SS para defender o nazismo.

O governo australiano arranja os CC para defender o eco-fascismo.
