Abbott could go on live national TV and say he wants to punch a pensioner, and he would still be more popular than Gillard.

Stop :horse:
 
This Gillard reminds of a Doctor "WHO".

You are not really sick but take the medicine anyway, it will be good for you and it will make you feel better.:confused::confused:

Their mojo is being somewhat tested at present with some quite nasty attacks from some ABC presenters insinuating the same sort of hacking is likely to be going on here as in the UK.
The irony of these accusers rabbiting on about 'bias' in The Australian would be quite funny if it were not so irritating.

I didn't hear this from the ABC but someone suggested this at work.
How can we be certain it isn't occurring? The rot seems to be from the top down not the other way around.

We know News limited have done deals with politicians to get their way, how do we know that this isn't occurring at present in Australia? For example, we know a certain Labor politician tells everything that happens to the USA, we know the first thing Rudd did was visit Murdoch in the US.

Murdoch wants to run the overseas channel. Don't you think he will use his influence?
Do you really think Murdoch doesn't use his power??

ROFL ...... trust you IFocus to see it this way.

But wait ..... what's this? Fatser than a speeding train ...... it is the start of the rot!

STOCKS sank to their lowest point in July so far after a sharp sell-off on renewed concerns over the carbon tax and international debt woes.

At 4.15pm AEST today, the benchmark S&P/ASX200 index was down 86.9 points, or 1.9 per cent, at 4495.4, while the broader All Ordinaries index fell 83.3 points, or 1.79 per cent, to 4563.5.

On the ASX 24, the September share price index futures contract was 93 points lower at 4467, with 41,474 contracts traded.

Almost $25 billion was wiped from the share market in the worst trading day this month. This is based on the drop in the All Ordinaries index on Tuesday to its weakest finish since June 29.

It was the banks that got smashed today and for good reason as dept contagion moves closer to reality, mean while Abbott continues to look stupid with coal take overs driving up the sector.


I am not a massive fan of the tax but the negative claims are over blown to a point that they have become a bit silly.

If its that bad the next government will remove the tax as I said before if you all believe that your dreaming.

LOL ..... if Peabody buying Macarthur is all you have got, you are in a very bad place my little pink and grey galah. It is an overseas company. They buy their carbon credits overseas. They can pollute all they like. :banghead:
 
The next classic will be when we have to buy back the coal mines, because the gas has run out in the Cooper Basin and the renewables weren't as successful as expected.
What an absolute fiasco.
 
Gillard and Brown both want to leave a better world for their children and grandchildren.

I'd like to see that.

They are definitely going to leave them poorer and with a lower living standard also probably working for a Chinese company. The Chinese will pick up any worthwile Australian company that goes under due to the tax.
 
Things are starting to hot up, the penny is starting to drop, I see in one of the papers Gillard is starting to say Bob and the independents made me do it.
Public opinion is really going to wear the relationship thin.

Great summing up of the problem for W.A in this article.

I can't see how the government is going to survive, external pressure must cause a spill.

Exactly. How anyone, the government very much specifically, can have the cheek to hold this up as proof the coal industry will be unaffected, is beyond me. I can't believe they are actually ignorant of the advantageous position of Peabody as an overseas company.

Further, what on earth does the government think it's doing when it claims the future of the coal industry is strong and healthy? Their bosses, the Greens, have made it entirely clear they intend to wipe out the coal industry.

Is this the same Greens that typically jump up and down about foreign ownership ?

BOB BROWN: They've been going around terrorising the country about loss of jobs and some sort of end of the world of the coal industry but the big international financiers say let's have a slice of it the day after this carbon price is announced.

Gillard's bull**** doesn't fool this woman for an instant. The look on Gillard's face is so condescending. She is thinking "silly old goat."
