During the 2010 Election Labor's Julia Gillard and her deputy Wayne Swan made the promise that they would not introduce a carbon tax if elected to Government.
Gillard broke that promise in the last week of February 2011 and Australians are very disappointed and angry that once again they face the prospect of increased prices.
More importantly Australians have reacted angrily that they have been treated with such contempt and let down by the head of Australia - the Prime Minister. It is a tax that will hurt every single Australian: electricity bills alone for the average family will go up by over $300 a year. But the real cost will be far greater than just electricity prices. The price of everyday day items will increase as the costs on doing business – transport, production and so on – will rise. This is simply another grab for cash by a wasteful government that will do nothing to address climate change.
SIGN OUR PETITION AND HELP SEND CANBERRA A STRONG MESSAGE: AUSTRALIA CAN NOT AFFORD THIS TAX!

We, the undersigned, call on the Australian Government to listen to the people of Australia and we demand that no carbon tax be implemented, As per your promise PM Julia Gillard.
It is not in the best interest for us, and will do nothing for our environment or address "climate change issues", as you feel fit to declare.
We demand you listen to the people of Australia and take notice that the majority have spoken and "WE SAY NO TO CARBON TAX". You have no Mandate to do this....
