Time to stand up....

Crikey has blown the lid on the Abbott call for a public revolution on pricing carbon -


"The brains behind the anti-carbon tax rallies"

A disgruntled green loans assessor, a former Victorian public servant turned climate sceptic and a Sydney pacemaker king are the figures behind a national series of rallies planned to shoot down Julia Gillard’s carbon tax.

Liberal Party-linked figures Jacques Laxale, Michael Cejnar and Colin Ely have all emerged as linchpins for the nationwide March 23 “No Carbon Tax” protests, which is hoping to drag thousands of everyday Australians on to the street following Tony Abbott’s clarion call for a “people’s revolt”.

Laxale, the designated spokesperson for the Consumers and Taxpayers Association — which until last week had three members — has been a dominant spokesperson on right-wing talkback radio over the last week cooking up support for the show of genuine grassroots people power.



And to take them on there is a call to rally at Julia Gillard's office on Saturday 12 at 11.00am at Treasury Place for a pro-climate cation rally called by LIVE.
