"Come home Kev and stop waving our grandchildren’s money around."

(Senator Ron Boswell, 10/7/09)

Dear Leigh,

According to the article you cited in The Australian
newspaper, and I quote:

"The Australian Government has not made a
public response to Britain's proposal for
the huge fund..."

It seems that the British Prime Minister, Gordon
Brown believes he has Mr Rudd's "in principle,"
support.

As the article says, "The Kyoto treaty expires in 2012,
and the talks could fail unless the wealthy nations
come up with some sort of circuit-breaking agreement
or new momentum at this weeks meeting and the UN sponsored
summit in September..."

The UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon feels that
"this could be a potential breakthrough that could
save the struggling attempts to sign the global
agreement in Copenhagen in December..."

However, we need to wait and see what our PM finally
decides, (and the reasons for that decision).
He hasn't as yet "rushed," into anything.

Rudd is very generous with other's money.

Dear Shadow Minister,

Kevin Rudd is the current PM and he's doing
what he's been elected to do. He's not spending
the money on himself.

However John Howard is still running up bills
of $8,560 a week in travel perks, staff,
magazine and office costs all picked up by taxpayers.
It cost the taxpayer $404,583 in the past year for this
ex-Prime Minister. Which did not include the $330,000
a year pension that he receives.

Malcolm Fraser - cost taxpayers $508,882 including
claiming $702 for the hire of indoor plants.

In total the five living former PM's cost the tax
payers - $2,004,657 in 2007-08.

Perhaps you should start a thread on whether taxpayers
should continue to fund ex-PM's?

Just a thought.

Alongside John P. Holdrens advocacy for a global planetary regime to enforce forced abortion, government `seizure of children born out of wedlock, and mandatory bodily implants designed to prevent pregnancy, Obamas top advisor also called for, “Adding a sterilant to drinking water or staple foods.”

Liberal website News Hounds attempts to giggle and guffaw at the controversy of Obama’s top science advisor John P. Holdren’s plans to mass sterilize the population and carry out forced abortions by claiming that the entire story is an invention of the “radical right wing,” when in fact it comes straight from Holdren’s own 1977 book Ecoscience.

If you visit our original article,
http://www.prisonplanet.com/obama-science-advisor-called-for-planetary-regime-to-enforce-totalitarian-population-control-measures.html

you will find screenshots of the book in question...Not Fox News,.Not Horowitz,..not the “radical right wing,”

Holdren’s own book,that he co-authored in 1977 ..you know,..the one he wrote...That is the source of the story...Get it?

Shocking proposals to mass sterilize the population by artificially medicating municipal water supplies, which were outlined by President Obama’s top science czar in his 1977 book Ecoscience, are already in effect as global sperm counts drop and gender-bending chemicals pollute our rivers and lakes.

As we highlighted on Saturday, alongside John P. Holdren’s advocacy for a global planetary regime to enforce forced abortion, government `seizure of children born out of wedlock, and mandatory bodily implants designed to prevent pregnancy, Obama’s top advisor also called for,”Adding a sterilant to drinking water or staple foods.”

Holdren added that the sterilant must meet stiff requirements in that it must only affect humans and not livestock.

Foxy,

The 5 ex PM's cost $2m. p.a. in "pension". Incl Keating and Hawke.

The present one is costing $50bn p.a.

Which one am I concerned about?

There are lots of little drains on the tax payers purse, but a couple of very large ones.

Rudd is wasting my money, and the cash splash and projects go mostly to labor strongholds, so pretending that he is doing it for me will fall on deaf ears.

Howard's gov was disliked but financially very prudent.

Rudd is well liked but incompetent. We are going to pay heavily for this feel good economics later.
