It is going to be very difficult to get rid of it as it includes a poison pill, under which a successive government which does so will be hit with billions in compensation for purchasers of carbon credits.<br /><br />Abbott has warned businesses not to purchase them as they will be out of pocket with the repeal, so hopefully he will follow through.<br /><br />It will also require two elections to do it, one to get rid of Gillard's crowd, and a double dissolution to clean the Greens out of the Senate. Fortunately, we do not have fixed terms here.Jim Fryarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15780237902858889143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060534295892170518.post-53230309485577920042011-10-14T04:04:29.461+10:002011-10-14T04:04:29.461+10:00Unfortunately, even after you boot the shitheads o...Unfortunately, even after you boot the shitheads out, once the government gets ahold of a new tax it never gets repealed and never goes down.Bawbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10194337224433517477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060534295892170518.post-15944025756041008522011-10-14T01:27:01.530+10:002011-10-14T01:27:01.530+10:00I didn't have much confidence either Angry, bu...I didn't have much confidence either Angry, but it was worth expressing the hope in case one of the bastards was listening. Unfortunately it is starting to look like Oakeshott is something of an intellectual among them.<br /><br />No worries on that one Bawb. Labor is at record lows in the polls, although they lifted a bit on the last one. It is to be noticed though that in spite of this, they dropped in every category of 'preferred on etc' where they are lower than the Liberals on nearly all.<br /><br />It is starting to look like the bounce is either a 'dead cat' one, or the speculation that Gillard will be dumped, is giving heart to some supporters.Jim Fryarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15780237902858889143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060534295892170518.post-55784777646279000212011-10-14T00:02:58.483+10:002011-10-14T00:02:58.483+10:00My condolences.

As in my native country so it is in my adopted one, the lunatics have taken over the asylum and they've done so with the blessing of the majority of the sane. The only thing left to do is to take the pain and learn the lesson: never ever let a politician who claims that more government levying more tax and spending more money will fix all problems run anything ever again.Angry Exilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02491082312193274360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060534295892170518.post-78823814647291251602011-10-13T08:50:36.896+10:002011-10-13T08:50:36.896+10:00Australia commits suicide. not a murmur from the m...Australia commits suicide. not a murmur from the msm.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
