The Carbon Tax protest


This imaginative landscape is a captured on the lawns near the parliament house of Canberra (ACT). The landscape consists of many Australian citizens grouped together, all having the same intentions to fight for the cease of the Carbon Tax. The Carbon Tax is a policy formed from the government, intended to tax citizen's release of carbon into the air per tonne. It will initially be set to be at $23, the price increasing each year until 2015. Some of the citizens in the crowd of the imaginative landscape are holding up signs, each saying vindictive and malicious comments about the Prime Minister (Julia Gillard). The background of the landscape (that doesn't comprise of any citizens) is very minimal, representing the fact that the protesting crowd is powerful and would not easily give up on the protest. Viewers of the imaginative landscape can all feel and interpret this landscape differently, some might think 'Wow, Julia Gillard should be very cautious of where she steps!' because of the amount of people against her holding up hateful signs, while others might conclude that the protest isn't as serious as it looks because most members of the crowd look calm, while some even look delighted.
