Dear Belly,

I don't agree.

The voters of Australia will eventually realise
what Mr Abbott is selling is a sham. Take a look
at what's happening under the Liberals in Victoria.
All the PM needs is to hold Mr Abbott and Co. to
account - especially as far as policies and costings
are concerned. The Prime Minister is getting on
with reforms and governing. I cannot for the life of
me understand what you have against her. Or is it
because she's a female and you would prefer a male
leader?

The thing that really astonishes me is that, if the polls are right, then it seems that 60% of Australians hate the idea of big polluters paying, users being compensated with the option for any of us to reduce our usage but keep the compensation,(Labor plan) but they like the idea of the tax payers paying the big polluters and asking them nicely to do something.
(Coalition plan).
I just don't get that.
But on the bright side, it does seems as if the Americans are finally realizing the threat.
And once they see sense, then we're in business.

Lexi time will prove one of us wrong.
You have an opinion I have another.
Remember the polls.
Take in to consideration the post above mine.
Anthony points out a truth we can not hide from.
Abbott has convinced/conned voters to support fear tactics not facts.
Gillard,once thought to be a feisty fighter is unable to match him?
You must remember, it is voters who have the last say, they need not be informed or fair.
You touch on sex, well if you must,but my dislike for Latham and Crean is no less heated.
However in my world, men long ago, dumped Julie and will not return to her.
Behind her installation was many things, dislike of Rudd, personal ambitions of some, and a belief above all, she had Abbott's measure.
She had it briefly once.
Not now not ever.
She let her self down, with that womanly why should I say sorry,why explain my actions stance men hate, in all women.
But above all she is not going to survive.
NUMBERS keep her there, one MP says he will leave the house.
One more will cross the floor.
But in truth after Slipper, this month, is free to return Gillard goes.
DO NOT wait for Abbott to fall, far too many dislike him but will take him before Gillard.

Dear Belly,

Thanks for being so open and honest and
answering my question regarding the Prime Minister.
You know more about the politics of Labor than I do
and you've given me much to think about. It is
appreciated as I value and respect your opinion.

Behind all the media spin about the "Greens running the country" and the constantly imminent leadership spills I keep coming back to the same conclusion.

If the Carbon Tax is just a political suicide note and if dumping it could move the polls and thus also shore up Gillard's internal support then why don't they just get rid of it and wear any political flak?

Maybe it's because they genuinely believe it is the right thing to do for the future of the country and maybe any hysterical opposition is happening only as a means for the Libs gain power for themselves.

If it was a hard and politically costly decision to introduce then it's an even harder one to keep it in place.

Well said, wobbles.
