Belly,
I hear that some Labor pollies are saying they should do more to make the greens share the blame for the carbon tax and be criticised for not agreeing to the Malaysian scheme on boat people.

Any word yet from your contacts about this?

@Anthonyv,

<<The second reason is to do with symbolism. Australia is the world's highest per capita polluter. So the world is watching to see if we act.>>

Don’t make me laugh Anthonyv.

Australia signed the Refugee Convention in 1954 …we are STILL WAITING on the Malaysia & Indonesia to follow our “good” example!

If the same pattern applies with the CO2 treaties/taxes we will – by your reckoning – all be six metres under water by the time they follow our lead.

Anthonyve seems typical of those who could not care less about pensioners sitting in cold houses to frightened to turn the heater on because they can't afford to heat their houses. I know a number of uni students who also put up with being cold in winter and hot in summer. This has now been made worse by a fraudulent tax and a fraudulent Government.

Runner, AnthonyVe,

As one frog said to the other, "It's quite cosy in here, I don't know what you're worried about."

It's easy being Green :)

Cheers,

Joe

Runner, that's absolute crap and you know it.
The additional support for pensioners is actually more than any additional cost.
If any pensioners fear to use their heaters its because of the willful lies that you and your cohorts spread.
If you want to peddle that garbage go ahead, but it remains a lie. And you sir, are a liar for asserting it.
Shame on you.

Anthony, your point is well made but what happens after next year ?
Does this compensation go on forever ?
Or is it supposed to last forever ?
If they were honest they would say,
"Look we all have to live with this burden so we will all have to adapt"

The compensation is nothing more than a vote saver, so please be honest
and admit that is what you believe also.
