Probably have read it. Still sort of clueless on it, though.
Carbon tax probably won't help Australia's environment. It may give things like schools and hospitals more funding, though. Here in my part of the U.S., we had emissions tests mandatory for cars every year for well over a decade, and as soon as we stopped them emissions plummeted like a rock falling through the sky. It could still be a small funding boost for other areas of your government, though.
