Poll
What issue surrounding the carbon tax is most applicable to you?
This poll ended on 07 November 2011.
It will affect my family budget.
The associated compensation won't encourage a change in behaviour.
It won't make a difference because the rest of the world isn't doing enough about climate change.
It's an unneccesary tax because climate change is not real.

This is not a scientific poll. The results reflect only the opinions of those who chose to participate.
