Dear Yabby,

It's to be expected that we'll continue to hear all
the old arguments that Australia is "going it
alone", that the carbon price will harm the
economy, and that nothing Australia does will
make any difference to global emissions. But these
arguments will be proven wrong on all counts.

Yesterday was a historic day for Australian economic
and environmental policy. It is the beginning
of a long and necessary path towards carbon neutrality.

And - according to the polls -
Labor's primary vote has climbed out of the 20s
and into the low 30s, narrowing the Opposition's
lead. Now perhaps the media may even start to
take more notice of the government's achievements.

Mr Abbott has reaped maximum political gain by playing
irresponsibly to the public opposition of the carbon tax.
However that tactic is now reaching its use-by date.

Mr bbott's days in the sun may already be behind him. Whether
they like it or not the Opposition must eventually confront
the reality that it has lost the carbon debate.

As Barry Jones observed: "...the failure of the Opposition...
to play a meaningful role in the discussions on mitigating
climate change is a profound historic misjudgement." And again
as experts tell us - under
Tony Abbott the Liberal Party has put itself on the wrong side
of the most important political and economic issue of the
century - which probably will haunt the Liberal Party in
years to come especially as the planet warms, Australia
dries and the rest of the world wakes up to the
catastrope that awaits it unless something is done.

You, (like Qantas) Yabby need a new logo. The emu comes to
mind for obvious reasons. Head in sand scenario - which
really isn't cute at all.

Dear Bazz,

One would think that the leader of the Opposition who was
dead set against the carbon tax and voted against it in
Parliament would have had the gumption to support his members
in the Senate by making it a priority to be present when the
results of the final Senate vote came out and make appropirate
comments as the leader of the Opposition. That is what the
voters were expecting.

The excuse of departing to a Conservative Leaders Meeting in
Europe is not acceptable as a representative of his party
could have been sent in his place. Such as the Deputy leader,
and he could have followed soon afterwards.

That to me simply shows that Mr Abbott lacks the calibre of
leadership that we expect any leader of a political party to have.

Ah Lexi, the merchant bankers just love people like you. They would
be creaming their jeans about all the profits they can make from
carbon trading, as Australia sends billions overseas to dodgy
dealers, to buy carbon certificates.

My old uncle was right. For every sucker that dies, another 10 are
born.

Chinese food processors will be laughing too. As Australian food
processors close down, from all the nails being banged into their
coffins. Shoppers like Lexi will eat more Chinese food, repackaged
in NZ. They won't even notice.

Next we'll have the Lexis of this world screaming for more Australian
jobs. Job creation schemes was all the go when Beasley was in
Govt. I guess we can rehash that one and the true believers will
wave the flag and cheer it on. Just borrow the money, that will
fix it.

Life really does go in circles.

Meantime the global population has increased by another quarter million,
every time your have breakfast. But we won't spend a cent
on that, or on the hundreds of millions of women who can't afford
family planning.

We really are walking, talking primates and little more. At least
the bonobos live sustainably.

I've never read so much dribble in all my life. The only catastrophe coming is all of you screaming because jobs are going offshore and the price of your pitiful existence just tripled.

You're so right, Yabby. These leftards are in for the biggest shock of their lives.

Oh and those rains that were never going to come again and fill our damns. Well whaddya know, 100% and letting it out coz there's no where to put it all thanks to shortsighted, sky is gonna fall, lefties.

We're all rooned!

Dear Yabby,

It says a great deal about your point of view if
Raw Mustard supports it.
I now wouldn't dream of contradicting anything you
say.

Dear Hasbeen,

It's been most entertaining.
