'Carbon Cate' Blanchett tells Aussies to pay up over carbon charge | thetelegraph.com.au
National Party Senate leader Barnaby Joyce said the ad made Blanchett look self-indulgent.

"$53 million gives you a whole heap of latitude to care about a lot of things," Senator Joyce said.

"If you really care, how about you give some money to help people meet the increased costs they are about to face?
...
"Instead of sticking 'I care' bumper stickers on their Mercedes four-wheel drives, they should get out there and talk to people who are forced to eat No Frills [brand food] because they can't afford anything else."

The Sunday Telegraph was yesterday unable to contact Blanchett, an ambassador for luxury car brand Audi.
