Of course her word is to be trusted. Perhaps you have heard of the
hung parliament.
A person of intellect has to adapt to changing circumstances and a
person of exceptional intellect, not only adapts, but arrives at the
outcome initially sought.
That's the case with Julia and an ETS.
With regard to the carbon tax, respected economic journalist Ross
Gittins explains that strictly speaking, it isn't:
"Gillard's package is widely described as a carbon tax but, strictly
speaking, it's an emissions trading scheme in which the price of
emission permits is fixed for the first three years and permits made
freely available, after which the price is set by auction, with an
ever-declining quantity of permits made available each year".
I believe you owe Julia your unreserved apology.
