Well, it's actually probably higher than that.

Labor took the CPRS model to the election; Howard and the Coalition had a 5% unilateral target and a trading scheme; the Greens supported a 25% target and a price on carbon. The common ground was definitely at least 5% and a price on carbon.

I can't remember the numbers, but 40% of people voted Labor, 45% voted Coalition and 12% voted Green. That's more like 97% of the population voted for a party with essentially a carbon tax as their policy.

So, if you're going to shout mandate (which I don't believe in anyway) you've got to remember it works both ways.
