So while those that bleat like mindless sheep regurgitate the spin of putting a price on carbon or, more truthfully, a price on carbon dioxide, I ask them to first put a price on our democracy. To those who say they respect the science, that is fine, but I say you firstly respect our democracy. But the actions of this government to deny the public a vote on this bill says a lot about the ideology of those who sit opposite. They have no respect for our democracy. They believe that they are a group of privileged elites and that they know better than the public. They do not care about the will of the people. They do not care about the importance of our democracy. That is why the community is so angry.
