"Forcing Australia’s biggest polluters to pay tax for their emissions may no
longer be electoral kryptonite, polling indicates.
The survey of 3000 Australian adults by Redbridge Group showed most regional
and urban voters supported introducing a pollution levy on the nation’s 100
biggest polluting companies.
The policy scored strong net agreement among voters for both major parties.
In regional NSW, Victoria and Queensland, there was 83 per cent net approval by
Labor supporters and 22 per cent net approval from coalition backers.
It retained net support from the rest of Labor (79 per cent) and coalition (33
per cent) voters across the nation.
One Nation supporters were the only cohort against the idea, recording narrow
net negatives of minus three and minus 13.
The survey was done on behalf on the Superpower Institute, an economic think
tank that has proposed two levies on resource companies to raise an estimated
$35 billion in revenue a year until 2050."
