My question is again to the Prime Minister. I refer her to her statement during the election, when announcing a citizens’ assembly, that action on climate change ‘must have as its foundation the genuine political support of the community’. Given the Prime Minister’s unequivocal promise that there would be no carbon tax under any government she led, wouldn’t a Prime Minister of integrity seek a mandate at the next election before departing from her commitment not to introduce a carbon tax?
