What the world thinks - our Carbon Tax

Avaaz, the international human rights advoacy group, has taken note of the Murdoch Press' attempts to skew national perceptions on our government's attempt to put a price on carbon, and is running a petition (link below). Check it out, and if you are so inclined, feel free to sign it. Make no mistake either way - industry lobby groups, large swathes of the Australian media, and a good chunk of our Parliamentarians are all lying to you shamelessly to scuttle any and all attempts to do ANYTHING about carbon emissions and climate change.

The petition is here.

Some additional things to read and think about;
