MARK COLVIN: Thousands of people have rallied out the front of Parliament, challenging the Federal Government to call an immediate election and stop its plans to introduce a carbon tax.

The Prime Minister Julia Gillard is not about to oblige them, but she’s been reminded several times today that it’s exactly a year since she uttered those words that have haunted her since – that there would be no carbon tax under a government she led.

Ms Gillard says she knows her words have disappointed many.
