Symposium: Carbon Tax - the Hot Topic on Everyones Agenda
Sydney, Mar 28, 2011 AEST (ABN Newswire) - The resources sector took another hit with Prime Minister, Julia Gillard announcing her intention of introducing a carbon tax in 2012. Hot on the heels of the 2010 "Super" Mining Tax that created a chain reaction throughout the industry resulting in the closest federal election outcome in Australian history.
The Resources and Energy Symposium (RES), Broken Hill, May 23 - 15, 2011, will provide a platform for industry leaders, representing oil and gas, mining and minerals, and alternative energy to voice their concerns and debate alternate "environmental" methodology.
As the largest contributor to Australia's coffers, the resources sector is seen as the barometer of our economy. Professor Ian Plimer, of Adelaide University strongly believes that without resources we would "all still be in caves". Moreover he believes that Australia will face many challenges moving forward especially competing on a global stage where technological advances has changed the way third world and developing countries develop their resources.
Can Australia sustain a carbon tax and what does it mean to household budgets?
The Chief Economist of the Commonwealth Bank (
ASX:CBA), Michael Blythe will address issues that impact on our economy particularly those that reverberate through the resources sector. A renowned speaker, Blythe will analyse the sector predictions and provide informed insights into how to keep Australia not only the "lucky" country but also a prosperous one.
