What do you mean by 'the carbon tax isn't working'? Of course it's working, just read any newspaper or look at your local council. The price is designed to be a motivator to reduce bad environmental behaviour.
Hasn't your local council done anything about reducing its carbon footprint? If not, you should complain. Haven't you seen the change in focus to environmentally friendly vehicle adverts? Perhaps you also missed the positive changes to business practice, large and small, to reduce their footprint. Even most individuals are more aware of their footprint.
I'm astounded you haven't noticed those things.
Here's some info you won't want to read lol

and a snippet from it:
WHY HAS THE GOVERNMENT INTRODUCED A CARBON TAX?
The federal government says a price tag on pollution is the most efficient way to discourage business and industry from emitting greenhouse gases, which are contributing to climate change.
