These are taxing times for Julia Gillard, the Prime Minister of Australia, who came to power with the support of Green Party. Her move to introduce carbon tax has been met with protests and call for polls in major cities of Australia.
Carbon tax is a fixed fee that domestic emitters must pay to the government on every tonne of CO2 they release into the atmosphere. This measure is resorted to discourage people and industries from using fossil fuels and decrease Green House Gas emissions. This will encourage people to switch on to cleaner forms of energy.
