Greens leader Bob Brown said a carbon tax on petrol would not disadvantage motorists, provided appropriate compensation measures were in place.
"Our job is to ensure that the average Australian household and car user is not punished by a carbon price," he told Network Ten on Sunday. "The idea here is to make the polluters pay."
PM chides Greens for pushing petrol tax
*facepalm*
Bob, i love you and ima let you finish, but cars are a significant source of pollution and encouraging people to pollute less with their cars is kind of important. Not to mention that this kind of undercuts your line about needing to not bloat out the policy with too much compensation.
