So much spin

Andrew Bolt, Herald Sun (Australia)
"Two excellent questions from the Nationals leader, Warren Truss, in Question Time today.

First, he asked, had Julia Gillard in fact conceded on Q&A that even had she won government in her own right she would have broken this election promise?:

And so today I announce that if we are re-elected, I will develop a dedicated process – a Citizens’ Assembly – to examine over 12 months the evidence on climate change, the case for action and the possible consequences of introducing a market-based approach to limiting and reducing carbon emissions… This means I will act when the Australian economy is ready and when the Australian people are ready.

You see, on Q&A last week, she said this:

if I’d been elected into a majority government what I would have done is legislated an emissions trading scheme...

From Gillard, no direct answer - because none was possible. "
