Did anyone from the media ask Julia at her National Press Club address today whether a price on carbon would be introduced during the next term of a Labor government.
Bob Brown was was adamant at his National Press Club address yesterday that it would.
WAYNE Swan has admitted policies announced at Labor's official campaign launch on Monday will not be costed by Treasury, as he hammered the Coalition for refusing to have their prices checked.
Would that be this from Aug 12,I heard Wayne Swan on one of the recent interviews stating categorically there would be NO CPRS in the next term of parliament if the Labor Party were relected and yet Bob Brown says there will.
A serious contradiction between the Greens and the ALP, or so it seems.JOE HOCKEY: What was that? Was that yes or no? That was just... The fundamental question is, are you going to rule out a carbon tax in the next term of the Government - yes or no?
WAYNE SWAN: We have made our position very clear. We have ruled it out. We have to go back to the community and work out a way in which we can put a cap on carbon pollution.
About two weeks ago they announced that they would not support the filter.When did the Coalition change their policy on mandatory internet filtering ?

To cut a long story short,

I would still like to hear it from Julia Gillard.
My mistake.About two weeks ago they announced that they would not support the filter.
Prior to this they were sitting on the fence. Didn't at any stage say they would support it.
Old Bobby-boy at the National Press Club said there would be a carbon tax full stop.Thanks drsmith, yes that was the one. Swan says NO to any CPRS between 2010 and 2013 if they are re-elected. The Greens say there will be a CPRS if Labor wins the election.
OK OK OK OK ... time to put up or shut up ........ Liberals by 4 seats for me. NO HUNG PARLIAMENT. Bottle of Vintage Moet is the bet. Will send anywhere in Australia by Platinum Express. Any takers?
(not sure if this contravenes any ASF laws here so I might get into trouble?)
I suspect the deal between Labor and the Greens is to legislate a tax on carbon during the next term but such that the tax would not actually commence till after the start of the following term.And Julia is smoking the same bong as Bob although not quiet inhaling to the same extent.

Too true trainspotter - regardless of result, we're going to end up with Abbott or Gillard
http://senatoronline.org.au/ - i know they have no hope of getting up, but we can actually (hopefully) sit up and make the major parties realise people are (slowly) waking up to their cr@p
The worst possible thing that can happen is to have a party in power that has to let the minority greens led by an (censored) have undue influence because of a backroom deal that was necessary for a power hungry indivudial to get that position of power.
That is NOT democracy. Bob Brown is already stating what "WE" will do in government.
