They should both be rejected because we know the carbon tax was important enough to sell out the very people who voted for labot (them), then keep it going while calling the voting public extremists for not liking being sold out, to keep that ill gotten power and enough to say liberals are the wrong leaders because liberals want to get rid of the carbon tax.

Yet it doesnt seem important enough to mention it now. Reject them both now. It seems that it isnt important enough to allow it to ruin their internal election chances, but good enough to allow the labor party to be ruined. The worst ruined in 100 years.

Albanese's position is quite clear. He will fight the dismantling of the ETS. I believe Shorten is of a similar mind.

Quote:

Tony Abbott’s pledge to repeal the carbon tax looks set for an acrimonious fight in the new parliament after would-be Labor leader Anthony Albanese said he would defend Labor’s climate change policy.

Quote:

BILL Shorten has publicly declared his candidacy for the Labor leadership as his supporters gear up for a ballot against Anthony Albanese under controversial new party rules that could mean a 30-day delay in selecting the new opposition leader.

Mr Shorten, the outgoing education and workplace relations minister, said he had the passion and commitment for the job and insisted that Labor could win the next election. He signalled that Labor, under his leadership, would not back away from carbon pricing, despite Tony Abbott claiming a mandate to repeal the carbon tax, and would defend the National Broadband Network and key policies such as school funding reform and the national disability insurance scheme. "I want to lead the rebuilding of our movement and to take the fight up to the Coalition in Australian politics," he said.

and when the legislation is presented in parliament, I'm sure they will provide a stance one way or the other .... until then, shut up and wait

About the only thing you've heard so far from Shorten is DentalCare and Domestic violence platform

Abbott was elected without telling anyone how he will pay for his promises or what his real plans are all fully supported by you.

Why would you expect a different standard from Labor 3 years before an election??

So I take it both of you were highly critical of the Coalition for not releasing key policies until well into the election campaign? I doubt it!
