Liars in Power Down Under -- Too!

GREEN CRAP Let's do some Libs on the Barbie “ On July 1st, the much hated Carbon Tax was implemented in Australia. Given that PM Gillard made a promise for no Carbon Tax on video at the beginning of her term in August 2010, then broke that promise, followed by a devil may care attitude, I can’t imagine anything that would enrage Australians as much as this.Since there is so much coverage on this epic failure of the Gillard government, I thought I’d create a collage of coverage here. Follow the links to the appropriate essays and news articles. There’s also a speech at the end. First up is Jo Nova: The-Tax-Whose-Name-Shall-Not-Be-Spoken Begins Australians will pay $77 million per week in carbon taxes, while Europe with the 30 most green countries pays just one third of that, according to the Mineral Council of Australia. (Anthony Watts, continued) Even more "interesting" than this cock-up are some of the comments, which I think many of you will find a kindredness with. Pull My Finger says:    July 2, 2012 at 8:31 am    I’m beginning to think that Robert Kennedy Jr. and Ed Begley Jr. have compromising photos of every politician on earth. What else could possibly explain the reflexive genuflecting to the green altar that 90% of politicians engage in? It is mind boggling. Noelene says:    July 2, 2012 at 9:06 am    At least we have an opposition that will get rid of the tax.It could be worse,we could have an opposition leader like McConnell Turnbull who went along with the ETS until the Liberals ousted him as leader. Wagathon says:    July 2, 2012 at 9:56 am    This is what you get when a society does not have someone like George Bush to stand up to up to the UN and the superstitious crowd and the purveyors of fear from the Left like that lone Chinaman facing the tanks in Tienanmen square Pamela Gray says:    July 2, 2012 at 11:19 am    Carbon taxes are worse than sharia law. Every man, woman, and child is covered under the carbon burka. And this tax will be as hard to remove as the real burka has been for women who live under sharia law and that suffocating black cloth   I'll give us credit -we have so far put the fear of god in enough congress critters to keep the hundred or so attempts like this to fail.  So far.  If the Aussies would just hang their Green-commies— well, that would really reverberate. ”
