Brendon O’connor, Minister for Immigration and Citizenship, Feb 24 on Ten Networks “Meet The Press” …
People said we weren’t going to price carbon and bring in a very important market-based approach to reducing carbon emissions; it was done.
Quite so. For example Mr Swan on Meet The Press, August 15, 2010, said …
What we rejected is this hysterical allegation that somehow we are moving towards a carbon tax …
and on August 15, 2010 …
No, it’s not possible that we’re bringing in the carbon tax. That is a hysterically inaccurate claim being made by the Coalition.
And Julia promised on Channel 10, August 16, 2010 …
There will be no carbon tax under a government I lead.
Yes, Mr O’Connor some lying bastards did indeed say “we weren’t going to price carbon”.
