    Geoff Provest, a Tweed Nationals MP, challenged the Labor and Greens candidates in Tweed to state their position on the Gillard government's new carbon tax. Provest said the tax will increase average household power bills in Tweed by $300 per year and gasoline prices by 6 cents per liter, outweighing a $200 electricity rebate proposed by NSW Coalition Leader Barry O'Farrell. Provest wants the candidates to be upfront with Tweed voters, especially pensioners who will be hardest hit, about whether they support the tax before the upcoming election.

    Provest issues carbon tax


    challenge to poll rivals
    “…the Gillard/Brown tax will add $300 to Tweed power bills…”

    Tweed Nationals MP Geoff Provest is demanding the Tweed Labor and


    Greens candidates state their position on the Gillard Government’s new
    carbon tax.

    “The new Labor/Greens carbon tax will add $300 or more to the average
    annual Tweed household power bill and 6 cents for every litre of petrol,” Mr
    Provest said.

    “This will wipe out the $200 electricity rebate that NSW Coalition Leader Barry
    O’Farrell has announced.

    “The Labor and Greens candidates for Tweed are perfectly entitled to support
    their parties with this new tax but they need to be upfront with the Tweed
    pensioners who are going to be the ones hardest hit.”

    “We don’t want a repeat of the situation where Ms Gillard said she was
    against a carbon tax before the election, but once she was safely re-elected
    she supported it.”

    “Kristina Keneally supports the new tax, Barry O’Farrell is against it and I am
    dead set against it – we just need to know where the other candidates stand
    before the election,” Mr Provest concluded.
