Carbon Pricing Begins (FiST Chat 78)

Independent Films, Web Series, Technology, Talk Shows

The Carbon Pricing Scheme, or carbon tax, commenced in Australia on July 1. The scheme has been designed to discourage the use of carbon across the economy, but its detractors say it will destroy jobs while providing little environmental benefit. Steve and Ben discuss this, as well as the tragic shootings at the The Dark Knight Rises screening in Colorado, trapping CO2 by ocean fertilisation, Microsoft announcing Office 2013, and Rupert Murdoch retiring.
