The SMH headline this morning (that was updated) was "THE CARBON TAX BOMBS"

THE Gillard government has its back against the wall as it implements the carbon price, with the latest poll showing Labor deeply unpopular and support for its policy at its lowest level since it was announced. The poll found support for the policy had fallen 4 percentage points in a month to 33 per cent, the lowest level since it was announced 15 months ago. Opposition to the policy rose 3 points to 62 per cent, the highest in 15 months. Despite the billions of dollars in compensation being handed out."

Despite Gillard's cunning burning of Labor's bridges by triggering a leadership challenge and trashing Rudd, it is becoming clear to the labor caucus that federal labor is facing a rout of NSW / Queensland proportions. Speculation is rife that unless labor gets significant bounce from Gillard's "It's not so bad" campaign, that there will need to be a leadership and policy change.

Is anyone

Their is such a lack of integrity with Labour that they have no one to replace even the one that lied so much to the elctorate. Smith made an idiot of himself to our soldiers, Shorten is another professional trade unionist, Rudd can't work with anyone so who is left? The sooner an election happens the better for this nation and for democracy.

It's amazing how people can pass judgement on something that happened within the first 48 hours of implementation and before any personal effects have even been felt.

It will be interesting to see if Abbott can maintain the same degree of public hysteria for the next 12 months, particularly if is doesn't produce the amount of devastation he's been predicting for the last 2 years.

As one journo put it - "Crushed beneath the cruel weight of an illegitimate and incompetent government, lashed by the taxman's whip, our borders overrun by invading Muslim hordes, the very fabric of our society rent asunder by promiscuous homosexuals who mock the sacrament of marriage, our suburban streets the hunting ground of thugs and gunmen, we hard working Aussie families eke out lives of pain and despair, trembling at the perilous future awaiting our children and unborn generations".

This apparently is how many see the world.

Belly can you give one suggestion for the Labour leadership other than Turnbull. How about Thomson?

Labor have signed up to this New World Order first vocalised by puppa Bush in 1992,and now enforced by the UN.See Agenda 21.The Purpose is to destroy production and our industries making us slaves to their world fascist Govt.Both Brown and Gillard have admitted they want this World Govt.

We cannot trust the Coalition either since many like Turnbull believe that a totalitarian one world Govt will save the environment and humanity.What was Adolph Hitler like with absolute power?
