Climate Kinder Love Jet-Set Gillard’s Carbon Tax

by | 31st, March 2011

IN Australia, Prime Minister Julia Gillard has introduced a carbon tax. In Western Australia, the move has gone down well with the Klimate Kops:

Prime Minister Julia Gillard has been showered with praise by Fremantle residents for her government’s proposed carbon tax during a community cabinet meeting in the West Australian port city.

But that was to be expected at Australia’s only carbon neutral high school in a state electorate held by a green independent MP.

On Wednesday night Ms Gillard chatted with people wearing T-shirts calling for action on climate change and posed for photos in front of a banner which read: “Thank you for the carbon tax”.

As Tim Blair reports: “And then she flew back to Canberra. In a jet.”
