On 1st July ALL will be revealed. Industry will NOT collapse, our economy will NOT fold, mass unemployment will NOT be upon us, electricity prices will NOT rise by 30%, whole towns will NOT shut down and the sun WILL rise.

And ......

The coalition will then quickly be looking for a new leader.

Labor has gained yet again in the latest new poll, and on the vote that actually counts, the two party preferred vote, they are getting to the stage where they only need to gain 5 more points and they're in front of the Coalition. They have already easily gained 7 points in the last 2 polls: And Gillard is the preferred Prime Minister

Toxic Tony only has a limited time left as leader.

Dear Yabby,

I'm not the one complaining about anything -
except of course for the scare tactics of
the Opposition. I've always voted according to
policies that make sense to me not on party
lines and I think that we're very lucky with
our economy in this country and the way
that the current government is getting things
done despite being a minority government and
having to deal with the toxic environment
provided by the Opposition.

I do not see the bleak picture that you're
painting regarding the carbon tax. And I am entitled
to my point of view, the same as you are to yours.
BTW - I admire
people who can insult and sound smart at the same time.

*I do not see the bleak picture that you're

Well of course you don't, Lexi. You are the wife of a rich
city architect, not the wife of a dairy farmer in NSW or Vic,
who is told by her husband that their income will drop 10%
as they have to pay and not rich architects wives.

Nhoj,

"Labor has gained yet again" - Really!

Lexi,

Those not compensated, are manufacturers, small businesses, and those losing their jobs, let alone the 40% of voters that are only partially compensated or not at all. There are no winners.

What makes it worse is that the current price will do nothing for global emissions.

Dear Yabby,

I am the wife of a rich architect?
News to me. You obviously don't know
much about self-employed architects.
Their wives work for a reason.

Still, your thinking is understandable.
And I guess - coffee, chocolate, and men -
some things are better rich!

One can dream!

Sheesh Lexi, its time for me to get the violins out here :)

Poor self employed architect on the breadline and all that.
The wife has to work, so that we can afford that overseas trip
and all the rest.

My point remains. No Govt legislation is ripping ten percent off
the incomes of architects, because somebody thinks that its a good
idea. The same cannot be said for dairy farmers, who have no
choice but to cough up. Hardly fair, but I understand your
position. Ignorance is bliss.
