I am so happy that it passed. Yay! Don't listen to the Coalition's FUD. Your family is very likely to get the tax rebate back fully as the government will raise the tax threshold.
So what if you pay a bit more now? The money is going to energy research to compete with other country in the lucrative market of renewable energy in the future. Look at countries like China and India, they will be our big market.
Stop worrying, you are 15 and it is a good time for you to study science and join the renewable energy industry after graduating in science (chemistry or physics) at the university.

If his parent is almost broke, that could mean they are entitled to the higher tax threshold and tax break which is better for them.
While it is bad for people to be almost broke. The carbon tax is nowhere as detrimental as the Coalition claims to be. In a lot of way, it is good for Australia.

The carbon tax was avoidable until the mining tax was cut. I still think mining tax should stay at the rate proposed by Rudd. The mining companies still makes record profit despite the tax. Letting company to dig up the mineral resource while the government do nothing to bring the the best deal back for Australian is nothing less than treachery for its people.
Don't think 4 years, think 40 like most country in Asia do. We can't rely on mineral exports forever. We need a new signature industry in Australia to drive our growth and we need the money to jump start it- carbon tax.
