The National Party does not represent farmers or the regions. Instead of punishing the polluters and giving the free market incentive to work out the best way to reduce carbon emissions, as Labor’s carbon price did, the Coalition wants to pay polluters with taxpayers’ hard-earned money and let the government pick the winners.
