How soon we forget core and non-core promises.

How soon we forget WorkChoices which was foisted on an unsuspecting populace while the LNP had the numbers in the Senate. The costs to 'ordinary working families' of this IR legislation had far more impact that the Carbon Tax will despite the Abbott hysteria campaign.

While I don't support the Carbon Tax, have some Lib supporters completely forgetting that Abbott supported a Carbon Tax at one point and an ETS. Or doesn't that matter if your 'team' is putting up the policy. Sheesh...loyalty can be a good thing but not if it means blind justice.

Back to the business at hand.
Courier Mail 18 Aug 11, Page 13, top lefthand corner. "Abattoir payment admitted."
Chris Back provided an signed Affidavit that a worker was paid for the video footage. A worker admitted he was paid $A17. This is the 2nd. worker involved.
The Paper still says that Chris Back has failed to prove that the workers were paid to create the Video footage. Short of fronting all the people involved in the scam to Parliment, I wonder what would be accepted as proof.
It's starting to look bad for the Animal Liberationists. I wonder what the Animal Libs have got to say for themselves now.
"Oh no! Someone just provided us with the Footage. We didn't know it was fake."
By the way you two. Both partys are equally corrupt. It's only the names that are different.

Every one has opinions/thoughts/ideas.
And it is a right we claim to do so.
But in truth some, far too many, wish to denie that right to others.
Shadow Minister is but one here.
History will remember.
Yes bribes have been paid,yes in the past animal rights activists have got jobs in plants and filmed killing and other such things.
Any fair minded review of such groups will see actions of true radicals.
Right now we see film of sheep suffering over seas and on a boat broken down in Australia.
We should not ignore the latter, it never should have gone this long.
My question to Lyn White, have you thought about the starving people of Africa? what are you doing about that?
And Lyn, have you kept track of the suicides of live export farmers your $17 bought and paid for?

In the interview where TA supposedly supports a carbon tax, he states " if the objective is to put a price on carbon" and then indicates a preference for a carbon tax over an ETS.

If you have to selectively quote some one out of context to show that he is lying, then you are grasping at straws.

Juliar Gillard 6 days prior to the election stood in front of the Australian people and pledged "There will be no carbon tax under the government I lead" and then went ahead with a carbon tax. That is not just a misunderstanding, or quote out of context, but a bald faced lie, and a betrayal of everyone that voted for her.

And if this was not enough, this was followed up by Wayne Swan accusing the opposition of scaremongering by suggesting that Labor would introduce a carbon tax, just as he is accusing the coalition of scaremongering now.
