great news from Austalia !
They are staring a Carbon tax coupled with tax reform that will reduce taxes for the lower half of the earners, be neutral for all but the top 10% of earners who will pay 1% more in taxes. They will do this by only carbon taxing the top 500 carbon emitters to reach a target of 10% less CO2 than they had emitted in 2000!
This shows us that we CAN do the same as, having lived in Australia, I know that our two cultures are very similar. For more details see:

By the say, tomorrow July 11, is the date to choose a candidate for the Nepean-Carleton Greens at 1096 River road, Manotick @ 7 pm - hope to see you there!
