Gillard said before the election that she would propose a carbon pricing scheme, didn't she? The quote from the Australian demonstrates that she did so before the election. Correct?
She must have said that to Tim in the dark because that's not what we remember and not what she admitted to doing and retracting when on Q@A (see video above)
It was in the Australian. You're not getting away with that.
I'm going to track down that interview and see for myself. The point is, she did not lie about a "Carbon Tax", what she did do was change her mind about the consultative assembly.
Isn't that correct? If so, and if you care about honesty so much, I expect to not see you complain about the carbon tax lie anymore.
Correct?
By all means, continue to complain about the assembly not happening and how she should have spent that money doing it.
Watch the video and the times I posted.
The Australian - 20 August 2010 - Paul Kelly and Dennis Shanahan said:JULIA Gillard says she is prepared to legislate a carbon price in the next term.
It will be part of a bold series of reforms that include school funding, education and health.
In an election-eve interview with The Australian, the Prime Minister revealed she would view victory tomorrow as a mandate for a carbon price, provided the community was ready for this step.
"I don't rule out the possibility of legislating a Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme, a market-based mechanism," she said of the next parliament. "I rule out a carbon tax."
This is the strongest message Ms Gillard has sent about action on carbon pricing.
While any carbon price would not be triggered until after the 2013 election, Ms Gillard would have two potential legislative partners next term - the Coalition or the Greens. She would legislate the carbon price next term if sufficient consensus existed.
I have which is why I am following up on what that interview referred to. I'm betting it referred to the assembly but given that they cut it so short, we can't know until we find the interview. Ironically though, it won't matter because we have proof of what she said independent of that interview.
Are you, or are you not conceding the following:
Julia Gillard stated before the election that she wanted to introduce a carbon pricing scheme?

Q and A 14th March 2011 - she admits she walked away from that commitment..........she lied.
The funny thing is, the issue of if she lied or didn't lie has been lost in the dismal failure of the policy.
Much like everything else they've done.
I said I am checking what that actually referred to. Are you unable to concede that The Australian holds record of Julia Gillard stating that she intends to implement a carbon price?
Seriously.
I think her major lie on the eve of the election supersedes that, she lied to get votes and it worked.
Our survey was conducted by telephone with carefully selected journalists from newspapers, magazines, radio and television stations, online news sites and news agency AAP, as a sample of the 8000 to 10,000 journalists in Australia today.
When asked about their voting intentions, less than two-thirds of the journalists we surveyed revealed their voting intention. Of those 372 people, 43.0% said they would give their first preference vote to Labor; 30.2% would vote for the Coalition; and 19.4% said they would choose the Greens – about twice the Australian average.
However, 41.2% of the 34 ABC journalists who declared a voting intention said they would vote for the Greens, followed by 32.4% for Labor and 14.7% for the Coalition.

Don't care the big lie superseded that anyway.

Thanks sails,
Mr Burns, have a look at the numbers on the table. The majority of journalists at all other institutions said they would vote for Labour. Are these institutions biased too?
You're just not interested in the truth are you. So why should anyone care about your complaints regarding someone else's honesty.
And you were calling me an child that did not stand to reason ...
