Congratulations to those rallying against the carbon tax today. A reminder about the website: http://www.stopgillardscarbontax.com/
Don't let the likes of left wing GetUp! - established rent-a-crowders - 200 members were at Rudd's 20:20 - sneer at you about numbers. Each carbon tax rallier counts for thousands of Australians who will be forced to dig ever deeper into near empty pockets to pay this unnecessary and ineffectual tax.
Today’s rallies (23 March) against Julia Gillard’s tax on carbon dioxide - a tax that will kill jobs but not lower the world’s temperature by anything anyone can measure
Earlier, Labor MP Nick Champion branded the protesters as extremists
What makes you think any one on this forum is obliged to provide you with the coalition's policy, even if they have one? You are once again making the fundamental error of suggesting that because we are against the nonsensical carbon tax proposed by ms Gillard, we are ipso facto supporters of the coalition. Don't be either so silly or so insulting.

Rally in Canberra was attended by about 3000+ people mostly from NSW after listening to the cheers - hardly anyone from the ACT. The event was relatively well organised with Abbott, Joyce, Angry Anderson and a cast of others as speakers.
Plenty of film crews roaming and doing interviews - let's see how much get's into the MSM.
Some photos later...
They included 2GB listeners - encouraged by broadcaster Chris Smith - and members of activist and political groups.
Former One Nation leader and NSW election candidate Pauline Hanson was among the crowd, while the One Nation party and the anti-Semitic Australian League of Rights were represented, along with the Climate Sceptics political party and the right-wing National Civic Council.
A group of young people lobbying for the same thing also met Ms Gillard.
Youth Climate Coalition director, Ellen Sandell, told Ms Gillard young people wanted a price on pollution and action on climate change.
"We are the biggest stakeholders in our future and we'll still be around when we see the biggest impacts of climate change," Ms Sandell said.
"We have made our position very clear, we have ruled it out," the treasurer told ABC Television.
From SMH - 12th August, 2010: No carbon tax for three years under ALP
Doesn't get much clearer than that...
The decent thing to do is have an election - at least Gillard & Swan should honour not implementing it in this term and then take their tax backflip to the people.
Very represent Australian crowd, bunch of complete nutters and the numbers were quoted as being 1000 to 3000 depending on who was asked hardly a raging rejection.

Oh, and how about these young romantics set out just how they believe the government's carbon tax, in the absence of other major nations doing likewise, is going to change the climate and not hugely disadvantage the Australian economy, not to mention individual Australians?Of course there was this

Exactly. A bunch of spoiled young idealists who have no experience of the real world.A group of young people who support a carbon tax. Obviously out of touch with the real world. Still have not seen a recession. Don't own a home. Don't own a car. Still living at home with Mummy & Daddy. Never paid tax. Never owned a business. Going to university and living off apron strings. Ooooohhh Diddums. Get in the game here IFocus. I know you can do better than this.
I'd say its more important what the tax will do. What you are saying implies that if it had all been fully honest and timed well, it would be a good course of action. Really though, Gillard may as well just start bombing things. I can't think of an action that could be more damaging to a nation short of outright malicious assault on the population.There are two issues here, as I see it.
1. The tax - it's controversial, but then so was GST. Howard backflipped, but in all decency, he took it to the Australian people and won a majority of seats (although not the 2pp).
2. The timing. This was absolutely guaranteed by Swan that it would not happen in this term. And Gillard herself catagorically stated there would be no carbon tax in a government she leads.
It's one thing to backflip on the tax, but totally unacceptable to deceive the people with the timing, IMO. I believe this is why the anger.
I agree with Abbott's question to Gillard that would she be in the lodge today if she had been honest that she intended to impose this tax in this term. As usual, I don't think she answered the question, and instead, went on a shambles of a tirade at Abbott.
Abbott's not perfect, but coalition need a thick skinned leader to put up with Ms Gillard's nonsensical accusations which are usually done to deflect the heat from herself - that's how I see it.
