..., and how screwed up much of the world actually is compared to us, even now.You probably over estimate how much the rest of world cares about Australias political system.
Turnball's signed deal with Nationals explicitly makes the any carbon pricing off the table for the life on his term.Carbon tax anyone?
And politicians are true to their word.Turnball's signed deal with Nationals explicitly makes the any carbon pricing off the table for the life on his term.
He gave up carbon pricing, gay marriage, protection of rivers and the environment and the emissions target.
I love this, it's Bolt's second worst nightmare. A pro republic, flag changing, science believer that is a little bit liberal in his beliefs at the helm of his beloved Libs. Suffer in your jocks Bolt.What's the cock sucker Andrew Bolt said so far?
Loved listening to Ray Hadley carrying on today.... So good. Eat shit Singo
Were they core promises? Turnip's position on those things are a significant attribution to his potential popularity with the voters.And politicians are true to their word.
PM me the deetsChewy Caramel, if I may!
:whoo:
A masterful and patient player of the game Turnbull is.Were they core promises? Turnip's position on those things are a significant attribution to his potential popularity with the voters.
The rort is as old as the kraken and all sides lap it up, been going on for as long as I can remember. It's just a distraction, when it gets out of hand, or when one party feels they need to pull a public tenderloin.I see this as a circular argument.
The recent "discovery" of the travel rorts has shown the spots of the leopard, the indignant reaction of the culprits revealed the soul, as black as heart of the kraken
That's already been bought up multiple times in public and he's seen it off. Not to pass judgement on climate change but I don't think holding people to papers they write as a young student is very fair. I know I wouldn't stand by a lot of beliefs and fairly polarised positions I held when I was a student (and I was mature age too!). The real world and professional life gives you more reality and education than university does - formal education is just a basis of understanding, professional life is where you become real.I just found something to good not to share, from Greg Hunts wiki.
"Hunt was born in Melbourne and was educated at The Peninsula School. He graduated from Melbourne Law School with a Bachelor of Laws (First Class Honours), where he won a prize for a final year thesis he co-authored entitled A Tax to Make the Polluter Pay"

Yup.Politics is a game,
Whatever MT does in the next few weeks is just to consolidate his new position, restore calm and build trust with his colleagues.
As soon as he feels he has some capital to burn, he'll start nudging policy in the direction he'd prefer.
This is also the same for the Cabinet. Removal of conservatives (abbot's closest allies) from key cabinet positions will have an impact on policy in the future, but not right now.
It's cool, save the cost of the biccies and postage and put it towards a beer next time we're in the same grid square instead.PM me the deets
It's pretty clear the people don't want a carbon tax, but they probably want someone who definately believes in climate change.Were they core promises? Turnip's position on those things are a significant attribution to his potential popularity with the voters.
:faint: is that all he had to do?It's pretty clear the people don't want a carbon tax, but they probably want someone who definately believes in climate change.
OTOH, we know that MT will support gay marriage when it comes about.
Tony Abbott had to do just 2 things in the last few months to have survived yesterday - fire Peta, and stand for a conscience vote on marriage. Both of those would have shown that he had taken on board criticisms, particularly the former
Just like a bad marriage.:faint: is that all he had to do?
The dagger has been sharpened for years.
With regard to a climate tax. People want what they are told. Labour is as much to blame for their terrible approach as the libs are for destroying the tax. Firstly calling it a minng tax initially was a massive failure. What industry does the public think our economy relies on? There was probably a failure to engage the industry in there as well. Secondly the inital increase in price of carbon rich products and the proposed offsets were not sold properly. I could go on.It's pretty clear the people don't want a carbon tax, but they probably want someone who definately believes in climate change.
