Tony Abbott struggles with reading comprehension

[IQS.RLOW]

Are you still on about this?

It must really burn that your little ultimate socialist pseudo sin tax is about the tossed on the garbage pile

Rorschach is obviously taking a leaf out of Abbott's book. Did he really expect people to believe he is a swinging voter?

[IQS.RLOW]

Did you ever expect anyone to believe you are anything but an extreme green pretending to be a hunter?

[freediver]

Do you have a rational argument?

[IQS.RLOW]

I was waiting for you to finally introduce one.

Rorschach and IQ have been tripping over themselves to back up Abbott's misinterpretation of this statement. Does anyone else here agree with Abbott?

yes it is a simple question... for simpletons.
I note no other questions have been answered as yet.
Ideologues never get it right.
A tax may affect demand.
But that doesn't mean it will solve the problem.
Especially when the effect is so minor.

There are other effects as well...

In the words of the Australian Climate Change Commissioner... If all emissions were stopped today it could take up to 1000 years before any change was noticed.



Of course such an answer takes in no consideration of any other changes technological or otherwise that may occur...

Read that quote again Roschach. It is not saying what you think it is.

Tony Abbott made the same basic error of interpretation. I believe this was deliberate. He is not actually an economic simpleton. He is just pretending to be to appeal to people like you. You want to believe for example that your interpretation of that quote is correct, but a little thought should be enough to show that it is not.

Here you go, a lesson in basic English. I even drew a picture for you.

Still can't get over that
a) Abbotts was correct
b) He's going to be PM
c) Your socialist program of adding a new piece of the pie has failed

Suck it commie.

Dear god, FD thinks roach and IQ have real points they can make and defend? Nah.

Flannery and Co refused to rock up to the expenditure committee...
Gee I wonder why.
Could it be the hundreds of unanswered questions they had left over from last time?
