There are a couple of things that are crystal clear from the polls:

1 - A carbon tax is deeply unpopular.
2 - The vast majority of people believe that Juliar promised no carbon tax and broke it.

Juliar's latest attempt to cover up her lie by claiming that it is a carbon price not a tax, in spite of previously referring to it as a carbon tax is not helping, as very few people are that stupid to swallow her revision of history.

Juliar needs to sell this tax if she wants to retain any shred of credibility. Otherwise this is simply perceived as a "bait and switch" tactic to push through a policy that the people don't want and didn't vote for.

Now that Juliar has successfully begged the networks to grant her some time to address the voters, lets see how she tries to justify her lie.
