Herald Sun (Australia)
"YOU could almost cut the hubris with a knife in Canberra, when the carbon (dioxide) tax legislation was passed as expected in the lower house. ....Brown went on to list the usual climate scares: a "wrecked Great Barrier Reef and Murray-Darling Basin", "no ski fields left by the middle of the century" and 700,000 coastal properties doomed. Of course he never explains that a carbon (dioxide) tax in Australia will make zero difference to the climate. But his chutzpah knows no bounds. Even as protesters were being thrown out of the public gallery, Brown claimed that Australia "in the main" wants the carbon (dioxide) tax, when polls show that support for a carbon (dioxide) tax collapsed this year. The latest Newspoll even found that climate change slipped to last place of the ten most important issues in the minds of Australians. And for the first time, voters judge the Coalition better able to handle climate change, 31 per cent to 28 per cent.
Not exactly a ringing endorsement of the carbon (dioxide) tax."
