"As usual a lot of people only tell some of the story. The co2 tax is part of the clean energy reforms. Another part is diesel subsidiary changes which will affect the price (upwards) of diesel for heavy transport. This increase in haulage costs will be passed on to the consumer."
Doesn't come in for (I think) a couple of years. Certainly not in place as of today. Agriculture, fisheries and forestry will retain their subsidy - is no change for them. (Boats, tractors, chainsaws, that kind of thing.)
If people are blaming transport costs / fuel on Carbon Price today, they are telling porkies.
