are you sure it wasn't fear of mah jerbs and temporarily embarrassed millionaires voting against their own interest. Gillard was voted out because Australia hates change and especially hates women. We have one of the highest rates DV among similar countries. We fuuuuucking hated her because she was a woman, it had nothing to do with the mining tax or carbon tax.

Pick negative gearing, wealth taxes, free uni whatever we fucking suck.

Also mining tax was separate from the carbon tax you Dill. I misread your comment because I assumed you were smarter than you were.
