I didn't say Julia didn`t lie about the carbon tax.
I said that it was Labor policy to introduce a price on carbon - and that is exactly what they have done. As promised. In accordance with the wishes of the majority of Australians that voted for candidates who supported the introduction of a carbon pricing system.
Why Julia tried to play silly word games on the eve of the election is anyones guess. But it lost her a lot of votes to the Greens - from people who wanted a tax and not a market based system.
What has been delivered is a market-based system with a 3 year fixed price period. It is NOT the tax that I would have preferred to see. But - it is far better than a Great Big Tax to pay polluters, as is the Liberal Party policy.
Ahhhhhh, welllll, that makes everything alright then. COUGH!

Yes it does, doesn't it. Despite what Alan Jones tells you.
A majority of Australians voted for a price on carbon.
That was Labor policy
That is what has been legislated
What is your problem?

Most Australians that voted for the labor party at the last election did so because of this,
"There will be no carbon tax under the government I lead."
Julia Gillard"No it's not possible that we're bringing in the carbon tax, that is a hysterically inaccurate claim being made by the Coalition."

There has never been a more serious assault on our standard of living than the carbon tax. dumbanddumber
"The cost, paid by big polluters, will be passed through to the prices of the goods you buy." Julia Gillard

We have all seen your contribution here:
I suggest you pull your head in and try to actually understand what is being discussed. You may not have got up to it yet in your class at school - but you should still try to learn.
Now - FYI - at the last election, the swings on primary votes were:
Labor -5.4%
Liberal +0.8%
Greens +4.0%
http://www.abc.net.au/elections/fede...de/parties.htm
The vast majority of the primary votes lost to Labor went to the Greens.
People who wanted a carbon tax deserted Labor.
That is why Labor does not control the Parliament.
That is why the Greens were able to insist on a 3 year fixed price period on the carbon pricing scheme.
The Carbon Pricing Scheme that was ALWAYS Labor policy.
You really need to stop listening to Alan Jones.

Why do you say this?
Because Alan Jones told you it was true?
You should not always trust Alan Jones.
Especially if you meet him in a public toilet.
Why don't you think that most Australians that voted for the labor party at the last election did so because of this, which was the headline in the Australian right before the election:
Julia Gillard: My carbon price promise
JULIA Gillard says she is prepared to legislate a carbon price in the next term as part of a bold series of reforms that include school funding, education and health.

Do you understand what the above headline says?
Why do you continue to deny it exists?
Do you ever read any of your own posts?
