'propaganda' unit set up to sell carbon tax

Here we go - be prepared for a "what ever it takes" approach to sell carbon tax. However, I think most people are not listening to alp spin anymore.

"LABOR has set up secret carbon price spin unit to help it sell its deeply unpopular carbon tax.

The carbon price implementation team is staffed by five Labor operatives, reporting directly to Climate Change Minister Greg Combet.

The unit's senior adviser-level head earns up to $170,000 a year, while its four adviser-level staffers draw salaries of up to $115,000."

Definition of Propaganda found with a google search:

"prop·a·gan·da
Noun:

Information, esp. of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view.

The dissemination of such information as a political strategy."

With such high salaries, is this just going to end up being more waste of taxpayer funds?
