Lexi I am pleased you appreciate the pernicious role of trotskyites and hard line communists in the manipulation of the environment movement. It was a soft target, being a rally point for so many "useful idiots".

re "how about commenting on
the topic under discussion. Joe Hockey's
comments?"

Sure

I consider Joe's suggestion, of cancelling the entire department, shutting it down and saving tax payers from paying pointless taxes and avoiding socialist meddling with the income differentials generated from effective activity versus ineffective activity and indolence, a wholly valid and moral strategy

We don't need it

Therefore we should not pretend an extra 12000 civil servants swanning around costing tax payers money, devoted to perpetrating a fraud, is going to help solve any real problems

and since most of those public servants are stupid enough to actually believe the lie of AGW, I consider paying them to be a lie is a complete waste of tax payers funds.

The world is such a better place with "small government" rather than "big government"...

It keeps the "Power" devolved and beyond the dangerous hands of the scum which floats to the top of centralist controlled political organisation.

In short,

Libertarian capitalism is the natural and superior method of human organisation

Would you like me to explain anything else about Joes comment - but I think that what I said should be clear enough for even you to comprehend....

Lexi at first glance it would appear silence is not an answer to such a post as the one above me.
However it may be the only defense.
We know, you, I many, the subject is a heated and disputed one,all over the world.
But I suspect you, as I do, know that post is unrepresentative of most .
It has the smell, touch, feel, of an attempt to troll, to get a reaction.
You and I others too, have observed strange events seemingly challenging the open discussion of some subjects.
This may not be trolling, it may in fact be the mixed and mashed thoughts of one, not capable of balanced thought.
I prefer the troll, it is a better out come.
A tactic? if we refuse to involve our selves in some subjects, some posters, in time the BALANCE some want will be seen for what it has become.
The very idea over half the worlds science people are lying, Communists, Socialist, Let us remember we have the Intellect to post here without falling victim to assaults on free speech.

Dear Col,

The Shadow Treasurer, Joe Hockey announced on ABC TV's
Lateline program that a Coalition government would
abolish the Department of Climate Change and Energy
Efficiency. Now we know that the Opposition Leader
Tony Abbott is sceptical about the advice of Australia's
top scientists (CSIRO et al) on the risks of climate
change and rejects the advice of economists on how to
reduce carbon pollution at the lowest cost to the economy.
Now his Shadow Treasurer has revealed that he would scrap
the Climate Change Department, sacking more than 1000
public sector employees (stats obtained from the Parliamentary
Library). The 12,000 figure will come later - with further
cuts in other areas.

This opens up a new hole in Mr Abbott's subsidies-for-polluters
policy. Under the policy the Coalition says it will conduct
a tender-based grants scheme to award subsidies to polluters to
clean up their acts.

However, with no Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency,
the Coalition would have no public servants
to draw up grant guidelines,
to administer the tender process,
to negotiate grant agreements and contracts
and to monitor whether the polluters were
fulfilling their obligations.

Direct Action would be a giant, no-strings-attached, handout
scheme for big polluters with Mr Abbott and Joe Hockey personally
selecting firms to be rewarded with billions in taxpayer-funded
subsidies that will cost households $720 more in taxes.

I note and ignore Col Rouge post above.
But in that post it is said, an inference? that site moderator has at sometime reported to Col that I reported him.
And that no action has taken place as a result.
This question has to be asked,yes last night,after twice in print asking for a truce between myself and Col.
And at yet another threat from another poster, one of tens maybe hundreds over a long history.
I asked the moderator for a ruling.
Unless[ and I can not remember] I asked some time ago for intervention in a dispute with Shadow Minister it was the first for a long time.
The level of abuse/near hate/rudeness/ and bias is growing.
Can it truly be? that this Australian Labor Government, its supporters, as so bad so awful so not apart of Australian mainstream politics.
That we are seen as fair game?
How is this country's future looking if the incoming conservative government, and it comes can not take the same brand of negative feedback given to all the above.
Graham With nothing but respect if you consider me a threat a bully or nearly half as biased as some contributors here of late tell me and I go forever.
But if not? I reserve then the right to be as rude and unfocused as Col Rouge KerryAnne and just a couple more.
Is voting Labor unaustralian?

You proclivity to labour despite their disgusting contempt for the Australian public is breathtaking. It is for this very reason I ignore most of your posts. It is blinding you to the damage this incompetent bunch of socialist ninkumpoops is doing to everyday Aussie battlers!

In my world view, you have a right to your views and a right to voice them in public and I would fight to the death for you to retain those rights; however, unlike libertarians, you do your best to take away that right from others. unfortunately it is a trait of the left they will never shake, so don't be surprised when a libertarian attacks your contemptible feelings toward them!

Your beloved prime minister is a classic example of this. look at here and you'd see yourself in the mirror!

At the moment you'd have to be a ninkumpoop to ask this question!

The answer is a most resounding yes!
