Yes, I vowed no carbon tax: said Prime Minister Ms.Gillard
Prime Minister Julia Gillard has admitted she promised there would be no carbon tax during the election and now (after the election) says
"circumstances had changed."

I remember I mentioned this excuse for breaking promises, and this I wrote during the 2007 state election ("see 2007 NSW State Election" category
"Promises are coming thick and fast and the election is months away.
I just hope that the "I'll put flashing lights at schools when we win the election" is a core promise and doesn't come into "the circumstances have changed " bracket, with the disclaimer, that "school zones are all Labor's fault anyway".
I hope that excuse isn't trotted out in NSW after March
