    "Let me assure everyone again its definitely not free particularly for working Australians."


    the use of particularly is redundant and misleading in that it implies that the non working too somehow pay something towards it. how? only if theyre are using there savings(??) or the few self funded retirees paying gst perhaps. the cost falls fairly and squarely on the shoulders of working Australians and as such any waste should be reduced however possible. now who was who told us that the only way to reduce excessive carbon consumption was to have a market price in place? perhaps this is going someway towards that effect however it does open the door to increases perhaps, yet we haven't seen that with gst which was touted as a negative possibility.

    also I see daily people who cant get into a doctor due to the huge demand and associated waiting times. perhaps this measure will make people think a little which MAY turn out to improve overall outcomes.
