And if 12000 public servants should accidentally fall...

"""
TONY JONES: Not everyone agrees with you though. Greg Combet says that analysis by his department, the Department of Climate Change, shows the direct action policy would cost the average Australian household $720 per year.

JOE HOCKEY: Well this is the same Department of Climate Change that said there'd be a thousand companies that would pay the carbon tax, and then 24 hours later it'd be 500 companies.

It's the same Department of Climate Change that has been party to Treasury modelling where they've modelled the impact of their own carbon tax at $20 a tonne instead of $23 a tonne.

TONY JONES: But are you saying they're putting out false figures about your direct action plan?

JOE HOCKEY: Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

TONY JONES: Well, would you be disbanding this department if it's a department that puts out false figures for political reasons? I mean, you are talking about getting rid of 12,000 civil servants.

JOE HOCKEY: Yeah. Well the Department of Climate Change will be pretty high up the list for very close scrutiny.

TONY JONES: You mean, you'll be thinking of disbanding it.

JOE HOCKEY: Yep.

No wonder labour still has so many voters, they gave up trying to win the public's heart and just employed everyone!

This is a joke isn't it? Please tell me they're joking?

RM,

I've come across this website which presents
an analysis of all of the climate-change
policies of our political parties. It may
be of interest to people:

RawMustard, Lexi

Here are a couple of bits & links.
The greens were never going to go lib so she could have hung out for a better deal. I prefer her to Tony tbo as a person still. I still recall what he did to Pauline. Like her or not that was uncalled for.
However, taking everything into account we have no choice now we need the libs back to once again pay off their bills and protect our most vulnerable & get this sorted & confidence back in business.

I would have hoped our first female PM might have lasted longer.
Shes much better than Rudd but difficult job and not much talents onboard . The biggest problem is still! alp state govs.

Enjoy the links goodnight to both of you Kerry.

Raw Mustard it pleases me that not every one agrees with you.
In fact your raw heated and brick wall like defense of conservative thought is your right.
I saw the show, think much differently than you.
Truth may be some place between us both.
But your party took a cost on climate change to the 2007 election.

lets look at the pms's words on lateline

""What the Government has said
is that we will have a tender process
where we will say to coal-fired power stations,
[to the people who generate energy with the most emissions,]
"Come forward and offer a contract for closure."

that is direct action
a policy she wont accept tony doing

""We will go through a tender process
and then we will select what is the best value for money
to reduce emissions,""'

THATS TONIES POLICY
extensivly rubbished by mz pms

""and of course any closure process would have to happen over a period of time..so that we had energy security""

so in reality
it will keep running
closure will be on tic and a promise
BUT WITH GOVT GIVING direct action...ie govt bribes

""and certainty and we would have
a structural adjustment process..for any affected region.""

MORE BRIBES

""So we haven't picked a power station;""

STILL HER OWN WORDS..

""that isn't right."""

lol
she is making it up as she goes
read the whole spinrouteen
http://www.abc.net.au/lateline/content/2011/s3285862.htm

but back to topic
using the peoples own words stick

""Now I've said - precisely those words
that I've just said to you,""

the same words you told to murdock press
she refused to even deliniate..[see transcript]

""I've said that to concerned power workers
[in the Latrobe Valley..who work at Hazelwood]
and I'll say it to anybody..who asks me about our policy.""

ie we havnt 'picked who we will pay yet
but hey it might be you[sound familour]
policy on the run..while still insulting the opposition proposition
WHILE STILL REFUTING direct action..lol



""The problem with talking to the Opposition about all of this

is you'd need,Tony,
to tell me who I should speak to.""

huh?
lawyer speak
get over mentioning tony..[the other one]

""Should I speak to Andrew Robb,
who says that they want to close a power station""

you say he said red

""and in fact the Government's stolen their policy;""

bailing out the lowest tender ISNT direct action?

""or should I speak to Tony Abbott'"

no go listen to ruperts stooges,

""Who would you suggest I speak to, Tony,
given that they've got diametrically different views,
pursuing, as they do,..a different message for different audiences.""

the fukkus group said
*they..needed to hear her say this.

""*They never say the same thing twice,
*they just say what *they think people want to hear
and then hope *they don't get caught out on the contradictions.""

who is '*they' juliar
its as if your so pure you alone got no sin/spin
only the blind loyalists would believe your white as driven snow
