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.
We should be looking at other options to reduce carbon emissions.
Nothing worries me about it. It's a good idea.
This is not a scientific poll. The results reflect only the opinions of those who chose to participate.
