The Liberal Party has released an attack ad linking Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s broken promise to that of former prime minister Julia Gillard.
In 2010, Ms Gillard said, “There will be no carbon tax under the government I lead.”
The Gillard government introduced the Clean Energy Act in February 2011, which legislated a carbon pricing scheme.
The scheme was repealed by the Abbott government in 2014.
This was followed up by Mr Albanese’s comments on the stage three tax cuts: “They’ve been legislated; we support them; we stand by that.”
