Julia enjoys free ride Opinion | Andrew Bolt

I suspect PM Julia Gillard's lie may be the latest example. It's rare to see such overwhelming fury from a public at having been so brazenly deceived.

Before the election, as everyone knows, Gillard promised she would not introduce a tax on carbon dioxide in effect, a green tax on electricity and petrol.

"There will be no carbon tax under a government I lead," she said.

But six months later Gillard says she will indeed give us that carbon tax and from next year, without even going to another election for a mandate.
