Saying 'Yes' to a clean energy future

A bitterly cold wind blew down from the Brindabellas today, causing me to clutch my coat around my chest, and tug my hat down over my ears. I am here in Canberra to support the first incarnation of our ETS, putting a price on carbon. I really did not need a hat to keep my ears warm: I copped a fair bit of ear-bashing!

After Question Time, I wandered down the lawns to watch as the 'Say Yes' group labored in the wind putting their banners out. Tomorrow I have to make do with QT in the Senate because the 'anti-carbon-tax' demonstrators have QT in the House of Reps all booked out.

I am lodged at the Hotel Kurrajong - lovely old place.
