Dear Visitor |

No Election, No Carbon TaxThe campaign against the Carbon Tax and the Prime Minister's broken promise is gaining momentum. Our petition is collecting thousands of signatures and comments. But we need many, many more, so please tell as many people as you can to sign. Two recent polls show that a clear majority of Australians oppose this tax, but the Government is ignoring you. That means we need to redouble our efforts to show that the government is operating on a broken promise and in clear defiance of the Australian people. The Prime Minister should take this tax to an election to seek a mandate (or otherwise let the Australian people defeat it at the ballot box). No Carbon Tax Alliance. This week, ComeOn joined a No Carbon Tax Coalition as part of our effort to ensure that while different people might have different reasons for opposing this tax, we work togther. We expect a joint open letter to the PM to be distributed shortly and we will post a copy at www.comeonaustralia.com. Rallies There are a number of rallies being held this Wednesday across Australia against the Carbon Tax. To avoid duplication, ComeOn is not running rallies, but you can find information that has been sent to us by organisers of a number of the rallies on our Rallies and Events page. Tax Bribes Over the weekend the Government has tried to spin the Carbon Tax as a 'tax cut'. The Prime Minister clearly intends to stare down those who she deceived at the last election by using more spin. Already they are making plans to bribe various groups with promises of tax cuts and handouts - even before they have told us what the true cost of this Carbon Tax will be and outside of the promised Tax Summit, which has now been delayed from July this year - as promised - to October. If you believe this is all based on a clear deception, if you believe this is more spin to cover a clear broken promise and if you believe this Carbon Tax is going to be bad for our future jobs and economy, consider attending one of the Rallies and keep asking your contacts and friends to sign our Petition. Local Campaigns The next step in the ComeOn campaign is to assist locals to bring pressure on a seat by seat basis so that politicians of all persuasions know how we feel. But we need a decent number of people locally signed up to our petition for that to be effective. If you can get 200 people to sign the e-petition from your Federal electorate, we will help start the local campaign in your area. Thank you for joing thousands of Australians Standing Up against this Carbon Tax and the most blatant broken election promise in living memory.
