| OLDER Australians worried about price rises gathered in their thousands at an anti-carbon tax rally in Sydney yesterday.
Organisers said about 5000 people, many of them baby boomers and retirees, gathered at Hyde Park to protest against price increases resulting from the proposed tax.
They presented a petition of 25,000 signatures to the Opposition Leader in the Senate, Eric Abetz, who promised to table it in Canberra.
Anne Easby, from the No Carbon Tax Group, said: ''It's just a bad tax that will do nothing to help the planet or make temperatures drop.''
At the same time, several thousand people rallied in support of the tax at an event in Belmore Park organised by the political action organisation GetUp!
