NZ's Carbon Tax 2.0

Labour tries to revive the carbon tax. Next year. Just before the leadup to the election. Why oh why am i unimpressed?
Hmm, i wonder if talking about something, next year, that's really a no-brainer is going to deflect debate for a while? Maybe we'll go for our internationally recognised 'talk green and then back track' strategy that's worked so well for us so far.
Ye gods. It'd be funny if it weren't so depressing.
