Carbon Cate, Say Yes & Climate Change Rally on Sunday

Have you been following the "Say Yes" Ad featuring "Carbon Cate"? The furore of comments included the idea that rich actresses are not the kind of people that will make the ad change the minds "of the battlers" out in the electorate. Perhaps the "Working Families" are not watching the ad either, being too busy working, driving to and fro and looking after their families. There was even a suggestion on Q&A last night that those "who are doing it hard " in "Western Sydney" have spent too much on their McMansions to have anything left over for saving the environment, once they take their blankets off!

Go for it Cate, you have as  much right to comment as anyone and a much better looking face on the TV than mine would be. If the ACF and others made an advertisement with normal people like myself, who would watch it? (unless its one of those instant viral hits on YouTube). Jonathan Holmes Media Watch discussion also was a beauty and its great to see that . But having seen Prof David Karoly in action at Melbourne University it is sad to see how little the actual factual information was able to be presented.
As Jonathan Holmes commented  "And Alan Jones is accusing one of Australia's most respected scientists of being corrupted by the payment of a small retainer? The hypocrisy, and the gall, are breathtaking.
The current regulator, ACMA, tells Media Watch that today it's begun an investigation into 2GB's coverage of the climate change debate." I'll hope that produces some results but I wouldn't bet on it.

So I'll say Yes to a Carbon Tax. Even though I can be considered part of a "Working family", earning less than the $150,000 mentioned as being part of middle class welfare. Its interesting to know that 3 professional working adults still barely make it to the income level considered middle class!
So join the Climate Change March in Melbourne on Sunday - 11am outside the State Library, Melbourne and Say Yes!
