Gillard lied about NOT introducing a carbon tax and she lied about an emissions trading scheme. Before the election she stated - " I announce that if we are re-elected, i will develop a Citizens's Assembly to examine over 12 months the evidence on climate change, the case for action and the possible consequence of introducing a market based approach to limiting and reducing carbon emmissions...,. if i am wrong and that group of australians is not persuaded of the case for change then that should be a clear warning bell that our community has not been persuaded as deeply as required about the need for transformational change" And just lately ....we may have to extend the carbon tax beyond 2014 if the rest of the world doesnt introduce a market based carbon trading system.
