‘Propaganda’ unit set up to sell Labor’s carbon tax | The Australian

With the majority of Australians opposing the Labor-Green Carbon Tax, Labor has established a multi-million dollar ‘spin unit’ to help them ‘sell’ the tax to the Australian public.

Despite promising that “there will be no carbon tax under the government I lead”, Julia Gillard and Labor have secretly set this new ‘spin unit’ up to help them sell a bad tax based on a lie that the majority of Australians don’t want.

LABOR has set up secret carbon price spin unit to help it sell its deeply unpopular carbon tax.

The carbon price implementation team is staffed by five Labor operatives, reporting directly to Climate Change Minister Greg Combet.

The unit’s senior adviser-level head earns up to $170,000 a year, while its four adviser-level staffers draw salaries of up to $115,000.
