I see nothing erratic about Katter. Agree with him or not but he maintains a consistant attitude. It is that same attitude that had him become an independant.
but this is reliant on the erratic Katter.

That Australia must tackle climate change and that reducing carbon pollution by 2020 will require a price on carbon. Therefore the Parties agree to form a well resourced Climate Change Committee which encompasses experts and representative ALP, Greens, independent and Coalition parliamentarians who are committed to tackling climate change and who acknowledge that reducing carbon pollution by 2020 will require a carbon price. The Committee will be resourced like a Cabinet Committee. The Parties will, by the end of September 2010, finalise the structure, membership and work plan of the Committee.
I know you're using language that's all over the media, but I do dislike this "assassination" and "execution" talk. Rudd lost his job, not his life.
Ghoti

He will find it hard to be a team player regardless of which side he backs and this will obviously impact the stability of any government where his vote is critical.

So all that means that a government may not get ALL the legislation that it wants. No big deal and certainly not instability. I may also mean that Katters electorate may get to have a taste from the pork barrel. Thatis no different to our electorate reasting on pork to keep our ALP member in by Gillard. After all he is in there for the benefit of his electorate. politics would never be perfect. Perfection would be a benevolent dictator.Originally Posted by drsmith View Post

Katter wants increased tariffs .
Abbott scraped in by one vote (with an abstinance I might add) whilst Gillard had huge numbers and would have won any ballot. Rudd pulled the pin before the party ballot knowing he would have suffered a crushing loss.Turnbull was democratically deposed by his party.
Rudd was assassinated by the faceless backroom boys. The Labor cabinet knew nothing untill it was revealed by the media.
No comparison ole boy.
And so he should. For example; Why should our pork producers go out of business because they have to compete with overseas operators that have the advantage of subsidised production?. A tarrif on those types of imports would be a better form of income for the government than an increased GST.

Gillard and Abott are the leaders of their respective parties, revisionist history wont change that. If only Costello had the guts Gillard did - we certainly wouldn't have a hung parliament now, that's for sure.

Results: Greens deal
Thanks for voting!
Does Labor's deal with the Greens give it a better chance of forming government?
• Yes - 26.32% (164 votes)
• No - 73.68% (459 votes)
Total votes: 623
So far, not so good for ALP-Greens.
And let me get in first, its just the News press.
