Bad Politics

[Jovial Monk]

Like I said, I think Gillard’s hands were tied. Scrutiny will be applied in and out of Parliament.

Abbott spends nearly every QT moving suspensions of standing orders to move a censure motion or MPI or other stunt and would no more about the shape of the CT Bill if he had had a rep or two on the multi-party committee. I don’t think Gillard is doing anything underhand.

In reality however, whilst this historic change has short term effects such as economic contraction and increased inflation, long term it creates a new clean energy and greener consumer market.

Well, let's see what merges on Sunday, and we can have at it thereafter, as will Mr Negativity Abbott.

You are missing the point Aussie. This thread is not about the the C tax, it is about bad politics. It is non partisan in that regard. It is casting an eye over the methods used by what ever party. Can you not be non partisan? Must you defend Labor at all costs which is irrational to say the least?

Huh.....It (the ETS) featured in your opening post, wot?

....and let's agree on this. Politics is not about being fair. It is warfare.

Probably not totally related, but at least linked to Labor.

Courier Mail (and may this be the last time I ever quote that fuck-rag) is speculating that Anna Bligh has lost support and may even step down as early as next week???

Qld seriously does not need Paul Lucas to run the state. I can only think that Bligh is wanting to get out before Labor ? loses the state election and then come back as the saviour in a few years??
