Obviously there's not much that can be said against the carbon price/ETS when people have to keep regurgitating the same old, same old.
See Snuff's post on this lame article by Sheehan, from earlier today.
And the alternative, which I assume Sheehan wants? The Lib policy, paid for by taxpayers instead of a market-based system, and funded from consolidated revenue instead of the polluting industries, and unlike Labor's carbon price, the Lib policy will require income tax hikes and/or service cuts, and will not acceptable internationally.
