AN attempt by the coalition to table a page of former Labor MP Maxine McKew's book in parliament has failed.
Deputy opposition leader Julie Bishop said Prime Minister Julia Gillard had repeatedly told parliament and elsewhere that she'd "always been" in favour of pricing carbon.
But a new book has cast doubt on Ms Gillard's version of events and called her commitment to the carbon tax into question.
The prime minister famously said before the 2010 election there would be no carbon tax under a government she led.
"How does the prime minister reconcile those statements with the revelation in Tales from the Political Trenches that she wrote to former prime minister Rudd in 2010 saying that she vehemently opposed fighting another election on introducing a price on carbon?" Ms Bishop asked on Monday.
Ms Gillard said she had dealt with the matters on the public record many times.
"I stand by my statements," she said.
"Isn't it interesting that here today we have the opposition with their tired, old fear campaigns, having a fiddle with the rear-vision mirror as they look backwards as we lead this nation to a future of opportunity and opportunity shared."
Ms Bishop sought to table page 173 of Ms McKew's book because it was a "credible and balanced account".
The move was not allowed.
"I think the author and the publishers might want people to buy it," Leader of the House Anthony Albanese said.
