Mr Abbott! Here is our people's revolt! Where's yours?

Today in the Treasury Gradens, Melbourne 7500 people turned out to say no to 'fear' and yes to a 'future'.

 

Says Get Up, "The fear campaign against a price on pollution has become so absurd that talkback radio hosts are claiming this means the end of life as we know it. Independent MPs are receiving death threats, and the far-right are organising anti-climate action rallies. The first of these is this weekend - and at the same time, we're coming together on the other side of Melbourne to prove that fighting for climate action is more important". 

Postscript: The ABC2 news this evening reported on the 200 people who turned up out side PM Gillard's electorate office opposing a price on carbon giving equal coverage to the rally that attracted 7,500 people. Is this balance or bias? And in the Sunday The Age no mention; Sunday Herald-Sun gave the anti rally two-thirds of an article including numerous quotes from Liberal Senators who spoke at the Rally.
