Only 21% of voters polled believe that the carbon price had a large impact on power prices and just 9% thought the repeal had pushed prices down
More than 60% of voters think the former Labor government's carbon price had no effect, or only a small effect, on electricity bills - as the Abbott government tries to rerun its cost of living argument against Labor's pledge to re-introduce an emissions trading scheme.
Only 21% of voters (30% of Liberal/National voters and 15% of Labor and Green voters) believe the carbon price had a big impact on electricity prices, according to the latest poll by Essential Media.
