I saw a bit of carbon in My exhaust, and I tried to weigh it...

but it didn't register on My digital bathroom scales

so at $23 a tonne...

I think I should be exempt from the carbon tax...

If your wife has a diamond ring, there is plenty of carbon in that as well, not to mention your tyres.

We're carbon based life-forms too!
Do we have to pay for ourselves?

Carbon tax has been built into some pricing already and will be jacked up even further after 1 July.

Buy cars, and drive them. Use lights if you need them. If you don't you'll be subsidising those that do anyway.

Nothing will change. It'll just be more expensive to do what we've been doing for years.
