    In my case $763 per year out but only $306 per year back. A little maths and we are $457 per year worse off, or $8.79 per week worse off, even before the effect of rising prices. For what I may well ask ... hmmmm ... $4 billion just to administer the scheme over the next 4 years before a single ounce of carbon is saved with my dollar? I'm sure I remember saying something about a revenue raising scheme rather than a serious attempt to reduce carbon pollution. At least my car is exempt at the pump!

    According to the estimator we will be paying $511 more per year but get $998 back. WOOHOO!!! More free money! Now we can afford to run the aircon in reverse cycle instead of using blankets. Thanks Wayne and Julia......[end Sarcasm]

    Yes. I think that i will be better off with a carbon tax.
    No. I think I'll be worse off with the carbon tax.
