Carbon Tax Imminent

Sunday, the BIG day for the announcement of the "Carbon Tax" by the Federal Government. Will the announcement of the announcement as Ben Eltham reports start a blizzard of reactions before the actual announcements. Will the commercial TV channels have advertisements from every lobby group under the sun over the next few weeks to try and bring the scheme down??
Will you be watching the announcement? Will the price on Carbon, about to be announced, be what you expected or hoped?
We are being carefully primed to expect a low carbon price, a transition to a higher price (ETS) and substantial recompense to almost anyone affected. Is this Tax going to be enough for the Australian public and enough for the Prime Minister to get re-elected, as well as going down in history as the architect of a big reform?
So will this Tax be effective? History will tell, as well as the next federal election. By the way this is not a belief but something measurable & possibly scientifically based.
I'm sure a higher price for electricity won't stop me from using it to heat and cool parts of my house, but perhaps the flow of money to the renewable sector may stop the boom and bust aspects of the industry.
As a Librarian I wonder if anyone will ask about the details of the Announcement. We have occasional questions regarding a carbon tax, as well as other questions on solar power, solar hot water. Like most government announcements, reading the detail is important, though quite often highly boring.
Shall we leave to the shock jocks and media commentators?
