Aquarius,

What lie? I must have missed where Howard pledged not to introduce IR reform. Perhaps you could point it out.

SM,

As you well know Howard introduced WorkChoices without a mandate after
the 2004 election.

I have the idea but not the skill.
Older posters may remember green bottle,very old very funny radio program.
Made before I was born but still being replayed.
A school setting bush school, funny think about this .
Want to be truly rich? famous? create an Australian legend.
Write a green bottle story call it question time,or the lower house.
Ten years scripts are already written for two rolls just take Col and SMs post history.
Ducking and dodging reality and truth in my mind see,s them look like Ballet dancers bare foot on broken glass.

parliament. an elderly moment.

Lexi,

Howard had made it clear he intended to continue with workplace reform. It is not necessary to spell out every policy prior to the elections to have a mandate. Considering that he was re elected after previous work place reforms would indicate that the continuation was not unexpected.

Juliar pledged not to have a carbon tax. Therefore she has a clear mandate NOT to install a carbon tax.

SM

Are you in agreement with Abbott to hold a plebiscite on Carbon Tax?

If so, do you believe that Abbott would uphold the result if Australia voted in favour of a Carbon Tax?
