No election to test her directive on the carbon tax shall be called for as the parliament runs full term, Prime Minister Julia Gillard said.

This after opposition Chief Tony Abott, through his budget reply speech, appealed to the prime minister to convene a fresh election as soon as she is done with the final details of her carbon pricing procedure.

A fixed carbon price is expected to run on July 1, 2012 as the details become available between July to September while the legislation goes to the parliament.

When Gillard participated in the 2010 election, no to carbon tax was part of her platform. With the Gillard administration’s pro carbon tax current propaganda, it has lost its authenticity, according to Abbot.

Gillard said in an interview in Melbourne there would be no early election, as she had assured the independents and Greens of it when forming a minority government.

"This parliament will go full term. I will decide when the election will be and it will be in 2013," Gillard said.

Gillard depicted Abbott's budget reply speech as "30 minutes of mindless negativity".

"But it's not funny because of the serious side and the serious side is Abbott did not step up and explain his approach to the government's budget surplus," Gillard furthered.

Gillard explained that lack of surplus would be like "stomping down on the accelerator to people's cost of living".

"That is not good enough - he is putting himself forward as the alternative prime minister," she said.
