JULIA Gillard says scrapping the carbon tax would be like bringing back the VFL, as the Brumby’s Bakeries chain apologised for an attempt to wrongly blame the controversial policy for a price hike.
Writing exclusively in today’s Herald Sun, the Prime Minister says the carbon tax will make Australia stronger and winding back the clock is never the best thing – whether it’s for a footy club or the country.
“I think in a few years’ time, we’ll think that getting rid of the carbon price would be a bit like reverting the AFL back to the VFL,” Ms Gillard writes.
Brumby’s faces an Australian Competition and Consumer Commission investigation for urging its stores to put up prices and “let the carbon tax take the blame”.

The Government has predicted the carbon tax will increase the price of a loaf of bread by only 2c and Assistant Treasurer David Bradbury blasted the company.
“There is something morally reprehensible about any business that is seeking to jack up their prices and rip off consumers and to somehow seek some cover behind the carbon price,” he said.
Brumby’s slammed over carbon price tax
Brumby’s managing director Deane Priest suggested in a newsletter sent to franchisees they could blame the carbon tax for price rises.
“Take the opportunity to make some moves in June and July, let the carbon tax take the blame, after all your costs will be going up due to it,” Mr Priest wrote.
Change never easy but benefits will follow
Brumby’s parent company Retail Food Group said the comments were “innocent albeit foolish and ill-considered remarks”.
CEO Tony Alford said Retail Food Group had “genuine regret over this isolated incident and unreservedly apologise for this unacceptable error of judgment”.
ACCC deputy chair Dr Michael Schaper said business were entitled to increase their prices as they saw fit but not to wrongly blame the carbon tax.
