Thank you, Mr President. Today marks the second anniversary of the Labor Prime Minister's solemn promise to the Australian people that 'there will be no carbon tax under the government I lead'. Does the minister agree that this broken promise is now easily the Prime Minister's best-known quotation, that it is seen by Australians as the defining statement of her prime ministership, that it constitutes Australia's most infamous political betrayal and that her own personal and her government's legacy will be forever besmirched by the false statement she shamelessly made five days before the 2010 election?
