Notice of Motion - Carbon Tax Vote

I move that this House — (a) notes that the Gillard Labor Federal Government brought to a vote its carbon tax on 12 October 2011; (b) notes that this tax is a dishonest fraud based on an untruth by the Prime Minister; (c) condemns the Labor Opposition for its shameless support of Labor mates in Canberra and for the carbon tax; (d) notes the Opposition’s childish antics in question time on 11 October 2011 when they attempted to play ‘gotcha’ games with the Treasurer over the effects this tax will have on the Victorian economy instead of contributing to the work of the Parliament; (e) notes that the Prime Minister said there will be no carbon tax under a government she leads; and (f) notes that owing to its support for this tax which will harm small business, families and all Victorians, the Labor Party will be sitting on the Opposition benches in this House for a very long time.
