Couple of things there. The Treasury assumes it would have stayed as it was when introduced. Consistent with the same "greens missed the realities of the politics" this is a poor assumption (although the one the Treasury had to use because official advice) - it was to be ramped up, tightened up and generally improved in a frog boiling exercise to avoid spooking the horse. Just like the CPM was.This part is true though, whatever you think and how ever it affected you at the time you can't change this:
According to Treasury modelling, under the CPRS there would have been no reduction in emissions for 25 years. It gave billions in handouts to coal companies and big polluters, while it locked in emissions targets that failed the science.
Anyway no need to resort to violent threats on behalf of your wife, though I'm sure they were in jest.
I'm glad you mentioned Tony though. Serious question, if the CPRS had got up do you think he still could/would have canned it?
Arguably had Rudd not lost his bottle and actually pushed through the CPRS (or thrown down with a DD election to get it done) Abbott as opposition leader and then PM never would've happened. He only got the gig by one vote anyway, and that was after the lack of passing the CPRS damaged Turnbull too. But Rudd was a gutless flog more concerned with being popular than actually governing, so here we are.And no, I think it was unlikely to have been killed off by Abbott. It was strongly supported by industry and the real seeds of the climate wars that Abbott leveraged were created by the CPRS shenanigans. I believe the CPRS would have BAU by then and there would have been little for Abbott to stoke.
Noting the word "flog" is a bogan moron term id suggest you ditch, Rudd for sure should have pushed it through.Arguably had Rudd not lost his bottle and actually pushed through the CPRS (or thrown down with a DD election to get it done) Abbott as opposition leader and then PM never would've happened.

It's not my world view. See my answer above. I can give full name date references if you can be fucked reading them.100% real. I'm sorry if it doesn't sit well with your world view. It was bad policy.

Isn't that all politicians for the last 20/30/40 years?But Rudd was a gutless flog more concerned with being popular than actually governing, so here we are.
PS did I tell you about how I almost got into a fight with a cosplay koala over the CPRS?It's not my world view. See my answer above. I can give full name date references if you can be fucked reading them.
My world view is that the Greens are clueless numpties that are more interested in performative politics than real world solutions. They remind me of the Christian pro life campaigners who don't lift a finger to help disadvantaged kids or kids in state care.
It's an opinion that was formed by being at the coal face trying to do something about climate change. It happens to be shared with my wife who is a chemical/environmental engineer with a masters from Harvard and all of the other professionals we know (and we know a lot) in the energy/research/policy space.

Where the hell was all this western cosplay 20 years ago? I would have been the biggest man slut ever in my Gundam outfit.Love a good Elden Ring cosplay.
Too many computer games. That's the case with my own adult child. He got to dress up every week for BMX as a younger kidI can never work out if the cosplay crowd played too much or too little fancy dress when they were kids.
I think they realised nerds have money and aren’t too proud to pay for onlyfansI can never work out if the cosplay crowd played too much or too little fancy dress when they were kids.
