Julia says that the overwhelming majority now support a tax on polution (carbon tax)

So, if this is th case, then why not simply take it to the electrate.

You can either wait two years, or, you can call an election now.

What do have to loose, after all, you apparently have the overwhelming support.

Or do you!

Gillard could take it to an election, or she can attempt to intimidate debate on the subject by having a media enquirie. I heard one Labor luminary complaining about anti government blogs as well. No surprises there, straight out of the Joe Stalin song book.

Your simplicity is overwhelming. Surely there is more than one issue in an election. Julia has the job at hand, with no constructive help from the libs it is all up to labor.

You do go on 579, it's Bob Brown who pulls Julia's strings. He's the puppet master, she's just the doll, although describing her as such is unfair to dolls.

Unfortunately if I described her as she is, I'd probably be banned for a week. She has much to answer for

If anyone REALLY wanted to know what the majority wanted- they'd just hold a referendum on the issue.
If a politician never makes an effort to put an issue to referendum- you know that they're not serious about 'what the majority wants' at all, and are only jerking everyone else off for publicity sake.

What a storm in a teacup!

All these personal attacks on the PM are really beyond
the pale. The PM is merely doing her job - governing,
and that's no easy task with the consistent personal
attacks on the Prime Minister by Mr Abbott and his team.

Give it a rest - you'll all get your chance to vote her
out at the next election in the meantime - you're simply
making yourselves look offensive and stunningly ignorant.
