"So, it seems that not only did Gillard and Swan lie, some labor supporters also knew that the NO CARBON TAX words and TV ads were a lie. That makes it even more despicable and disgraceful, imo."
Just for those who can't seem to read.
If Labor had won outright there would be no carbon tax as promised. Fact of the matter its a hung parliament
So they need to make a deal to get thier promised CPRS through.
The greens offered to deal but wanted a tax , Labor compromises with a temporary tax which changes into a CPRS.
The Coalition refuses to deal , they could and we could go straight to a CPRS as promised , but they won't as they are wreckers.
No one party can deliver their promises as a whole as no one party controls parliament.
The Labor policy was clear to fulfil their policy aims they needed to compromise on their tax promise.
Everyone involved in politics in anyway knew what the Labor policy was even Tony and more than likely yourself.
Stop this false outrage its childish and your embrassing yourself.
They were telling the truth , they had no intentions of putting a direct price on Carbon but circumstances change and intelligent adults adapt to change , foolish ones do not.
