Congratulations to all those who attended the rally in Canberra, and other capital cities, against the carbon tax.   And especially to the organisers …  you got enough people there to be noticed and vilified.  Well done.    I understand the Prime Minister was invited but declined.  And thanks to 2UE for the cartoon…  http://www.2ue.com.au/blogs/2ue-blog/zegs-take-on-carbon-tax-protests–have-your-say/20110323-1c64v.html#next
