TONY Abbott has pledged to get rid of carbon pricing within just six months of the Coalition winning government.
The Opposition Leader said that if blocked in the Senate he would immediately call another election, a double dissolution, and invite the ALP to commit “suicide twice''.
“I won't reduce the tax, change the tax, or redesign the tax. I will repeal the tax,'' Mr Abbott said in Brisbane today.
http://www.news.com.au/national/tony-abbott-promises-to-get-rid-of-carbon-pricin... So thats a lie, that can be proven,RIGHT NOW.
IF phony Tony won the next election, he will face a hostile senate that will not buckle to his confusionalist world is flat theories on global warming. ANY senators elected at the next election will not enter the senate,
for guess what?? 6 months.That means phony tony could not get rid of the tax within 6 months, and if he called a DD, any senators elected at the next election would not EVER take their place in the senate. god you rightards are gullible suckers.
Maybe if you read something sometime, you may not sound like an idiot.

“I won't reduce the tax, change the tax, or redesign the tax. I will repeal the tax,'' Mr Abbott said in Brisbane today.
“After all, what is done by legislation can be undone by legislation.
“I don't expect the Greens to support repealing the carbon tax. On the other hand, it's hard to imagine the Labor Party, beaten in an election that's a referendum on the carbon tax, committing suicide twice by resisting the new government’s mandate.
“If they do, there is a constitutional procedure designed for just this eventuality. It's called a double dissolution. I would not hesitate to seek a second mandate to repeal this toxic tax. Indeed, it would be my duty to do so.''
Mr Abbott said that “because the electorate would double-punish the Labor Party for wilful obstruction, I expect that the repeal arrangements would be in place within six months.”
