A group of prominent Australians has published an open letter calling for a price on carbon to help deal with climate change.

The letter is signed by four former Australians of the year - including Professor Fiona Stanley, Ian Kiernan, Professor Pat McGorry and Sir Gustav Nossal.

It is also signed by Dame Elisabeth Murdoch, the philanthropist and mother of News Corporation boss Rupert Murdoch.

Last month, Australian actress Cate Blanchett fronted an advertising campaign for a carbon price.
