The Labor Party as well as the Coalition claim that jobs will be lost as a result of Climate change/carbon tax with the other party in power. I'm new to the whole twitter 'thing' but I thought it would interesting to follow both the Government and the Opposition on Twitter, what struck me however was how similar, yet different there tweets were. The Coalition (or LNP to Queenslander's) was first to attack, claiming that 18,500 jobs would be lost in the Hunter Valley alone with the introduction of the Carbon Tax with an estimated 31,000 jobs to be lost in NSW alone. The Labor party later tweeted that Joe Hockey; Shadow Treasure had told ABC that the Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency would be abolished under a Liberal National Government. Jobs lost? Around 1000.
If you put it into perspective isn't 1000 jobs lost better than more than 30,000? That's 29,000 less families struggling to put dinner on the table at night.
