Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard is confronted by a real voter who questions her on her lie before the election where she claimed ” There will be no carbon tax under the government I lead”. This lie gave the Labor Party the chance to slip into government. Julia Gillard still denies she lied in this exchange, she does not understand the anger:
“Why did you lie to us?”
“And why are you continuing to lie and say, ‘Well, I didn’t really mean to lie’?…”
“I’ve listened to you for months, I’ve watched Parliament – and you are still lying”…
“I heard you on Q and A. I heard you for over a year. The thing that sticks in my craw is that you stood up and said there will be no carbon tax. And a few months later.,. you’ve changed your mind.”
