Have no doubt about it, the NSW poll results had a lot to do with the carbon tax.

Certainly, Labor was on the nose after stuff-up after stuff-up over the past eight years. But, Barry O'Farrell was also right on the money when he said that the average householder is spooked by the prospect of a carbon tax pushing up the cost of living in almost every way.

Not everyone lives in the sun and sand of the NSW North Coast -- and the slugs of rising electricity, rising petrol prices, soaring food prices, increased water costs etc etc have not been lost on average residents.

Climate change may be some sort of threat over the horizon, but these hits on our household purse are very real -- and public sentiment is changing fast.

First, we'll take Oakeshott and Windsor, then we take Canberra itself. Have no doubt about it, the carbon tax has sealed their fate.
