Tony Abbott scares pensioners about carbon tax, though it will benefit them

Pensioners terrified by Abbott, claims Combet, The Age Misha Schubert, September 11, 2011 CLIMATE Change Minister Greg Combet has blasted Opposition Leader Tony Abbott’s devastatingly effective campaign against the carbon tax, saying ”his so-called people’s revolt is revolting” because it has terrified vulnerable old people……

On the eve of the week the climate laws are introduced in Federal Parliament, Mr Combet branded Mr Abbott’s crusade over living costs under a carbon tax ”disgusting”.  ”In the last couple of days I have been in my electorate, which is an area where people are not well off, and met pensioners who have been terrified by Tony Abbott,” he said.

”Pensioners in my area are going to receive more than their expected costs – [scaring them] is disgusting and irresponsible, and that has crossed the line as far as I am concerned.’ http://www.theage.com.au/national/pensioners-terrified-by-abbott-claims-combet-20110910-1k39k.html
