AFTER months of avoiding even
mentioning an emissions trading scheme Kevin Rudd has formally dumped
Labor's Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme until at least after the next
election, and possibly the one after that.
After months of refusing to defend or promote the answer to the
greatest moral and economic challenge “of our time” or to propose an
alternative the Prime Minister has simply put it off as an inconvenient
political truth and tried to blame the Coalition and the Greens for
obstruction in the Senate.
The simple fact of the matter is that
Rudd over-politicised and over-dramatised the importance of an ETS, put
all his political capital into one policy that would split the Coalition
and provide a campaign platform and had no answer when it failed.
Rudd's
insistence the Senate pass the CPRS legislation before the Copenhagen
climate change meeting in December now looks completely hollow and
Australia's stance friendless and isolated internationally. [Story]

AlGore is just like Jesse Jackass (oops! Jackson). If he hasn't been in the news in a couple of weeks, he shows up with some stupid, cockamamie load of crap that will get him on the front page of some liberal rag, such as the NT times or the Portland Oregonian, aka The Zero.
ReplyDeleteI like to call him Jackie Jessup.....I don't know why I just do.
ReplyDeleteI went to high school northern Montana with a guy named Jackie Jessup. He was an asshole, too. Just like AlGore is.
