TONY Abbott has given a boost to former minister Mal Brough's campaign for Liberal National Party preselection in Fisher by declaring ''he would be a very welcome addition to our team''.

Interesting to see Tony A and the Libs have changed track on the big bad toxic tax that will wreck everything.

They are now back on the Julia lied to us track.

Expect Tony to be challenged before the next election especially if Mal Brough doesn't get pre-selection.

Even the big carbon emmitters believe the tax is here to stay and have already started to make changes.

ie the tax is already starting to work.

Carbon pricing here for long term, say emitters

Adam Morton
July 5, 2012.

''An overwhelming majority think there will be a carbon price in the medium-to-long term, but more than half the experts from liable entities think the legislation will be repealed along the way,'' said economist Frank Jotzo, the author of a report on the survey. ''It really puts the spotlight back on to the uncertainty that is dominating the area.''

Seven out of 10 representatives from big emitters said their companies had already cut pollution in anticipation of the carbon price, and 84 per cent said they expected to make cuts over the next three years.

Poll shows carbon tax fear easing
Updated July 30, 2012 08:43:33

The latest Nielsen poll has found that the number of people dissatisfied with the carbon tax has fallen significantly since the legislation was introduced on July 1.

The Government has been working to sell the tax to voters while the Opposition has continued its claims the policy will increase cost of living pressures.

The latest Nielsen survey of 1,400 people is the first to be taken since the introduction of the tax.

It found 38 per cent of voters felt they were worse off under the tax, a drop of 13 points since the last poll was taken a month ago.

Fifty-two per cent said it had made no difference - an increase of 15 points.
