Joanne,

Howard after realising his mistake, went back to the people and campaigned with GST as a platform, knowing that it would lose him votes.

Juliar does not have the integrity to do so, and if she intended to introduce a price on carbon simply lied to stay in power.

Perhaps it is time for those inclined to feel disenfranchised by the AGW advocacy block, to claim our democratic voice?

The following article from Quadrant On-Line was posted Monday 28th February.

It also provided the following link to sign up for protest action against the proposed carbon tax and an opportunity to sign a petition.

Time for action rather than grumbling on-line?

Why are we still even discussing this CO2 business ?

Has the IPCC rerun their computer models against the new Uppsala
fossil fuel data ?
They are taking a long time about it.

At least it looks as though the Australian public are punishing Juliar and the greens for their bait and switch deceit.

- Labor down 2 points
- Greens down 1 point
- Coalition up 2 points.

Nice own goal Juliar

Here's some examples of Coalition morality when it comes to promises, trust and integrity.

Prior to the election John Howard mentioned not one word about Work Choices, he knew if he did he would have lost the election. After this deceit, the Coalition introduced Work Choices with all it's anti worker right wing dogma, and did it with NO mandate from the voters.

John Howard's 2004 pre election commitment, "Who do you trust to keep interest rates low?". Liberal party pre-election promise "we'll keep interest rates at record lows". What happened? Under the Coalition we had 15 rate rises.

The Coalition also lied to the Australian public with a solemn commitment about the GST, "Nor will it be Coalition policy at ANY time in the future". It was an out and out lie lie lie.

The Coalition lied about the children overboard incident. Lied, lied, lied.

The Coalition broke key election promises to protect certain iconic Tasmanian forests in 2004.

The list of broken Coalition commitments and backflips is endless.

As I said, the Coalition has no moral high ground when it comes to "lies, lies, lies".

As any reasonable person knows, ALL political parties lie and backflip.

Joanme,

Good points - "All political parties lie and backflip."

Mr Howard even categorised his promises as core and his lies as non-core....very creative, indeed.
