The frequency of apocalyptic religiosity, the carbon tut-tuts sermons, the be-green-to-be-seen plays, have cemented public skepticism. Take the Australian Left’s latest Labor-first TV campaign for a carbon dioxide tax with Cate Blanchett. It screams decadence. Or as the Nationals Senate leader put it: “I think that Cate Blanchett is a marvellous actor, a beautiful person and a wonderful Australian, but the relationship between that and a person who is, unfortunately, is already doing it tough in their life, who’s under the pump already because they can't afford their power bill... what do they get from the ad?”
To the critical-thinking eye, Cate Blanchett’s commercial relationships with Big Car and Big Makeup appear problematic. So when in late 2009 Audi’s managing director, Joerg Hofmann, announced, “We’re extremely pleased to continue our partnership with Sydney Theatre Company as Principal Sponsor” and Audi’s website boasted, “Artistic Directors, Blanchett and Upton, renew contract for a second term” questions were raised: The planet or Big Theatre? Our blue skies or Big Car?
No longer are Australians going to cop the “denier” accusations for being critical-thinking citizens. The pro-tax campaign also stars Michael Caton of McDonald’s ad fame.
To Australians struggling with everyday household expenses Carbon Cate is living in a different world. “It's nice to have a multi-millionaire who won't be impacted by it telling you how great it is. It's easy for her to advocate it, she's one of the people who can afford to pay it,” states The Australian Family Association. “There are people who have no comfort zone and no room to move.”

The message from Hollywood liberals is that the common people are using THEIR resources and destroying THEIR planet. They want us little people to stop and if they have to starve us to death to do it, then that’s the sacrifice they’re willing to make.
Eco Ping.

The ultimate nuke against the greenies: Social Justice. Play to the poor people, just like the left has done to us all these years.

I THINK LITTLE CATEY HAS COUSINS HERE IN THE USA, OVER HERE WE CALL EM LEFTARDS OR ‘HOLLY-WEIRDOS WITH A CAUSE’
... AND JUST LIKE CATEY THEY DO SO LOVE LECTURING THE LITTLE PEOPLE. QUITE.....
BUT PERSONALLY... I DONT THINK GENERALLY, ITS A GOOD IDEA TO TAKE CUES FROM AN ELF WHO LIVES IN A TREE.....BWHAAHHA .....MY ADVICE:
STICK TO ACKTIN POOKIE N THEN NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO ACCUSE YOU OF BEING A SILLY... TELL ‘EM YER JUST PLAYIN A PART IN A SCRIPT OR SOMTHIN’ GENERALLY IT MAY BE BETTER FOR U TO LET OTHERS DO THE HEAVY LIFTIN IN THE COMMON SENSE DEPT, SMALL GRASSHOPPER....JUST SAYIN’
Perhaps she can explain something she knows about like how the casting couch works?
Pray for America
Here is a picture of Cate Blanchett's house...it is the mansion with the pool on the right. I doubt it is "earth friendly", and I am certain she uses a hell of a lot more carbon than me.
So, Cate, take your wealth and cram it. Hard and deep. I'll go home and burn a bag of charcoal just because you don't want me to do so.
Happy Memorial Day, everyone! :)
Next time you encounter a carbon tax green freak, just ask them to explain where plants get the material they use for their growth.
How about an actor’s tax of 90% on any income over $250,000 from movies?
That’s it: They think they own the planet. How did I miss this?
I see your point. Why should we be silent when the poor have to suffer under eco-socialism?
Her father was American – so I wouldn’t be surprised if she has American cousins. She’s always jet setting to the U.S.
Exactly – she stood stick to being an actress.

Thanks for the pic. As we all know an eco-mansion is a contradiction in terms (all the land she is eating is a carbon sin).

We have to hound them until they admit that, under their greenie uptopian plans, the poor will just have to do without air conditioning, good lighting, maybe even 24/7 electric service.
Because there is no way their cap and tax scenarios will be affordable by anyone making less than double the poverty wage. The rest of the wage earners out there will still have major curtailments in their standard of living under these plans. But Cate will go on living like royalty, unaffected by extra taxes.
Once upon a time, America fought wars and killed people that wanted to “take away our way of life”. Cate is no better than a Redcoat or Nazi or slaveowner.
Good point.
Good idea – if they want a tax, tax them through the roof. But how would green actresses be able to afford their jet setting lives?
