this post tells you who to trust and who not

Julia Gillard, August 2010:

There will be no carbon tax under the government I lead.


Wayne Swan, August 2010:

Certainly what we rejected is this hysterical allegation that somehow that [sic] we are moving towards a carbon tax from the Liberals and their advertising. We certainly reject that.


Tony Abbott, July 2010:

Senator Brown wants a carbon tax. Thanks to the Green preference deal, there’ll certainly be a Green balance of power in the Senate. We will get a carbon tax if this Government is re-elected, as sure as night follows day.
