Petitions

Carbon Pricing

To the Honourable President and Members of the Senate in Parliament assembled:

The petition of the undersigned shows:

Their concern about increases in the cost of living that would result from the Green-Labor Alliance's plans to introduce a tax on carbon dioxide emissions.

Your petitioners therefore request that the Senate:

Hold the Prime Minister to account on her pre-election promise and oppose any and all attempts to tax carbon dioxide emissions in Australia.

Petition received.

by Senator Abetz (from 1,411 citizens).
