I ask a supplementary question. In the light of the evasions that we have just heard from her, I ask the Prime Minister: does she honestly believe that she would be in the Lodge today if, six days before the last election, she had been straight with the Australian people and said upfront to them, ‘Yes, there will be a carbon tax under the government I lead’?

I didn't even hear about it until after the election.
It would be interesting to hear how many people voted for Labor purely based on the 'no carbon tax' announcement.
I think it would be far less than Tony Abbott portrays. The argument also appears to assume that there were not people who voted for the greens purely due to the announcement.
