To the Honourable President and members of the Senate in Parliament assembled:

This petition of the undersigned shows:

During the 2010 election campaign the Prime Minister of Australia stated without qualification that her Government would not introduce a Carbon Tax while she is Prime Minister.

The Prime Minister promised to hold a consensus on climate change before proceeding with any legislative change.

We the petitioners believe the Prime Minister has misled the people of Australia and does not have a mandate to introduce a Carbon Tax.

We the petitioners believe former Prime Minister Howard set a precedent by stating clearly during an election campaign that he would introduce a Goods and Services Tax.

Your petitioners ask/request that the Senate:

Vote against the Carbon Tax before a general election in 2013

by Senator Johnston (from 8 citizens).
