I ask a further supplementary question, Mr President. Given that the Obama administration have demonstrated after their re-election that they could be taken at their word when they said that there would be no carbon tax under the administration he leads, why couldn't Prime Minister Gillard be trusted when she said prior to the last election that there would be no carbon tax under the government that she leads?
