Labor's carbon tax lie

[Wysiwyg]

LOL ..... too late Julia. They already exist.

Ha ha spotter. The saying "when the poopy hits the fan" would take on a new perspective. Not to mention they are a hazard with the fan blades not being guarded. W.H. & S would have ya.

I wanted to tear the Uni Bar jukebox clean out of the wall, and pitch it off the balcony, it played this song without cease. Traumatized now. Must be a support group out there somewhere.

This is also the video where the old lady asks Julia "why did you lie?".

Julia looked one step removed from asking that lady to sit on her knee and start saying, "Once upon a time I said there would be no carbon tax.........., but,........"[/QUOTE]



I predict that this women will one day be honoured with the Australian of the Year Award.

She is representing and voicing the feelings of the majority of Australians as far as Gillard and her Government are concerned. They don't believe Gillard any more and are treating her with contempt which she has brought upon herself by lying to the Australian public just so that she can gain and stay in power.

The country is hurting and they know that there will be further and perhaps unrecoverable pain to come if Gillard and her government are allowed to continue. They know deep down that this country cannot afford to have this government continue wasting our money so recklessly. If not then surely Keatings' prophetic words will come to haunt us and we will become a "banana Republic" (or worse).

The majority of Australians want a new election so that they can have a say in where this country now goes, especially with the Carbon Dioxide Tax, as well as other issues.

Where the lady above comes in is that this event is the turning point and catalyst for the change to finally happen.

Enough is enough.

I give the women three cheers.

What Dutchie said.

Anti Oligarch - Climate Fraud

"..Later that month [Sept 2010], Britain’s prestigious Royal Society rewrote its climate change summary to admit that the science was infused with uncertainties and that “It is not possible to determine exactly how much the Earth will warm or exactly how the climate will change in the future…”

Oh god, I don't believe it.

Julia looked one step removed from asking that lady to sit on her knee and start saying, "Once upon a time I said there would be no carbon tax.........., but,........"

What was impressive about the woman was that she was quietly spoken and absolutely calm. No hysterics, no shouting. Good on her.

How utterly bizarre this is all becoming. Predictably, the Greens find a way to oppose both nuclear and coal - so negative. http://www.thelocal.de/national/20110713-36277.html

"...The German government wants to encourage the construction of new coal and gas power plants with millions of euros from a fund for promoting clean energy and combating climate change......Funding for the initiative is limited to five percent of the energy and climate change fund’s annual expenditure between 2013 and 2016....Oliver Krischer, a member in the Bundestag of the Green party, told the Berliner Zeitung that the country would do better to encourage more investment in energy efficiency
And the environmental pressure group Friends of the Earth Germany (BUND) said additional coal-fired plants were entirely unnecessary..."

Germany to fund new coal plants with climate change cash

Germany leads the world in solar energy, the price is heavily subsidised.

Last year, about half of the world's solar electricity was produced in the country. Of the 20 biggest photovoltaic plants, 15 are in Germany, even though it has only half as many sunny days as countries such as Portugal...

For now, the technology remains expensive and barely registers as a fraction of total energy production -- less than 0.5 percent. The government hopes to increase that figure to 3 percent by 2020.

Did anyone catch the ABC show this morning, 'Insiders' interviewing John Howard? Even he is skeptical about the science behind 'Global Warming'.....

I missed that, but i did see Peter Costello on Bolt Report.
Shame that guy is not still in politics, he would make mincemeat out of Gillard and Swan.

Yes, seeing John Howard and his rational comments pointed up the contrast with today's leaders.

Indeed. And to think that so many of us were critical of him because he had a smirk!

To that, I'll add that Malcolm Turnbull could learn a thing or two from John Howard.

Only if we could turn back the hands of time.

Unfortuneatly, you cannot undo the past, but you can control the future.

 

[springhill]

The line that Swan drags out ad nauseum that makes me want to pulverise his face is "You cannot have a first class economy in the 21st century without a clean, green energy system".

Absolute rot and bullsh!t. Their catch phrases are soooooo pathetically bad.

I tell you what if he or the Liberals sow the seed of every-man-for-himself "individual contracts" then the Libs. can forget about any governance and we'll take the dumb carbon tax instead.

I agree, Wysiwyg. Hopefully the Libs have learned their lesson as any suggestion of that will put them back into political wilderness, imo. But I guess there will always be some that can't see the wood for the trees. Gillard's scare mongering on that issue will be bad enough, so we can only hope the Libs don't give her any further amunition.

Sadly, it seems Gillard has lost sight of everything else BUT her carbon tax and Abbott. I don't think she can see past it and it seems that any dissatisfied labor MPs are not game to speak up. I wonder what's going on with the boats and the cattle industry? All that seems to be forgotten while she wears out shoe leather (and heaps of co2 as she jets around the country...lol). Shouldn't she be managing the country rather than trying to market her unmarketable (imo) crazy tax?

While I'm not really a fan of Keating I do think that Costello was no where near a match for him. Not only was Keating sharp witted he at least had the courage of his convictions and went to the back bench in a leadership dispute. Something Costello never had the intestinal fortitude to do in his battle with Howard.

With Abbott only half the quality of Costello and Costello only half the quality of Keating, what does that say about the Libs. Joh for PM was not as silly as it sounded at the time.

According to predictions, Gillard and the carbon tax will be history by end of August.

Simon Crean's odds have been reduced from 101 to 11 to become Prime Minister. We could see a substantial lift in Labors poll if that happens.

It be will interesting to see which way the Indys go if Gillard goes.!!

That's something we will never see in the walls of parliament Keating in his prime v Costello in his, it's like comparing Leigh Matthews to Chris Judd i guess.
Though you make valid points re Costello's intestinal fortitude, but i always thought he was not given enough credit as a parliamentary performer.

Just curious on you thoughts on how Gillard stacks up to Abbott, Costello & Keating?

The indys have themselves in a right mess, they have stated repeatedly their agreement is with Julia Gillard only. How can they turn around and strike another deal with Crean, probably on revised terms and still show their face in public?
