Lexi,

Really, you have not presented any facts only your opinions. The opinion polls on the carbon tax are still strongly against it.

That Gillard blatantly lied when she said there would be no carbon tax, has also not been forgotten. Trying to pass it off as rhetorical flourish is delusional.

While the focus has been on Labor's self immolation, there has not been as much focus on the boats and carbon tax, but make no mistake, they have not gone away.
