Abbott’s carbon campaign pathetic: Swan

AAP

Federal Treasurer Wayne Swan has described Tony Abbott’s attacks on carbon pricing as one of the most “disgraceful and pathetic” political performances he has ever seen.

The opposition leader is currently on a nationwide campaign opposing the carbon tax that was officially introduced last Sunday.

Mr Swan attacked Mr Abbott as the most negative politician in Australia’s history.

“The rubbish he’s been spouting since Sunday has been one of the most disgraceful and pathetic performances from a politician we’ve ever seen,” Mr Swan said.

“He said the sky would fall in, that families wouldn’t be able to afford food this week because price rises would be unimaginable, that whole towns would be wiped off the map.”

Mr Swan said Australia was the strongest economy in the developed world.

“The Australian economy is doing extraordinarily well and has continued on that path since the carbon price has been legislated, contrary to all the Armageddon rubbish that Mr Abbott’s been banging on about.”
