Rorschach:
Your disingenuousness has already been pointed out to you elsewhere that Abbotts stance was based on having a carbon policy forced upon the Australian people along the lines of if you were going to be killed would you prefer to be stabbed or shot.
This does not make his arguments about which one is the best option irrelevant. Think about it.
let me answer in red.... as I and IQS have pointed out Howard and Turnbull decided Liberal policy would be an ETS. Abbott disagreed, stating a tax would be simpler to implement and remove. REMOVE... get it. It ain't about accepting or wanting it at all
.
As I pointed out, he gave many reasons why carbon pricing is the way to go and why a tax is better than an ETS. Some of them hinge on needing to greatly increase our efforts at cutting emissions.
Ah no he hasn't and no he wouldn't... do try your scare campaign on stupider people like oh I don't know JM, Aussie mel, mantra.... The only reason it would be temporary is if the true believer woke up to themselves
No it is temporary. He has scheduled yet another backflip for 2015.
Oh and i think you'll find he wasn't giving speeches for one or campaigning for one merely answering questions in interviews about it.
That's when he is allowed to lie, right?
Mellie:
1) The said "Liberal party line" was based on climate science in it's relative infancy, and given a number of these scientists have since come forward and now admit their findings were exaggerated at best..., naturally, this changes things.
LOL. Is that why Abbott backflipped from climate change denier to true believer?
