Lexi my sweet we realise a very nasty woman has intentionally made it hard to get rid of the carbon tax, she is punishing us in advance for chucking her out on her butt, at the election.
However don't kid yourself about the anger fading. It is not about to fade when we get electricity bills like the one I got yesterday. $639 is $200 higher than my last one, & I had no power for 5 days of this one, thanks to our flood. We will be reminded of why to dump this lot every quarter. Having to run pumps electric fences & the like is expensive, but not that expensive. You only have to look at the major news outlets in Europe to see the global warming fraud is dead. It is now like the chicken with it's head cut off, just running around squawking, before rolling over. Yes there is a lot of squawking, but the gravy train riders would not have switched to ocean acidification, yet another furphy, if the warming bit had any real evidence to promote. The investigation they will have, after the election, will show it never had legs to stand on, & the whole thing will be chucked. They will have to get rid of that clean energy bill too, or many will end up with no power, due to the cross subsidies pricing it out of reach. It may interest some at election time, but only the faithful in academia, who want the research grant money, & the chattering inner city class, who vote left regardless, & the other gravy train riders. Given another year or so, it will be just as dead as the Y2K bug, & good riders. Posted by Hasbeen, Friday, 29 March 2013 11:11:22 AM

The ALP supporters continually advocate Turnbull as a leader of the Liberal Party. They also suggest that the Carbon Tax and the climate will not be issues in the coming election.
THEY WISH! If you want Turnbull, you can have him. When he was the Liberal leader he behaved like a mini Rudd. He supported Rudd on Climate Change and the Libs wallowed in the polls, no better under Turnbull than under the previous leader, Dr Nelson. I would never vote Liberal if Turnbull was the leader. In my opinion Turnbull is a Labor mole. The Liberal voters still see the Carbon Tax as a very big bad tax. The Liberal voters don't believe that the Carbon Tax does anything to change the environment. We are OVER climate change and the silly ravings of loony left, such as the ABC scientists and Flannery. The issues that will be prominent at next election will be the Carbon Tax, the high cost of electricity, fiscal responsibility, border integrity and the personal failings of this prime minister. Naturally the Labor Voters will have a different perspective, just as mine differs so markedly from theirs. But it must be painfully obvious to the thinking Labor supporter that Abbott is a better performer than Gillard and that his policies have more support from the electorate. That is why the last poll showed 55:45 support for the conservatives! Geoffrey Kelley Posted by geoffreykelley, Friday, 29 March 2013 11:17:28 AM

If you're trying to blame your electricity charge increase on the carbon tax, Tony Abbott has already tried that stunt: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-10-10/abbott-caught-out-on-use-of-pensioner27s-power-bill/4305908 You may instead like to look at state government hikes or your own increased usage. Perhaps you could get back to us on that : ) Posted by Poirot, Friday, 29 March 2013 11:20:26 AM

Since there is no such thing as what you call climate change (but probably mean anthropological climate change), it clearly can't affect the election.
What will affect the election is the mistake JG made when she decided to tell two different groups two different things about how she'd respond to the fears some have about AGW. She told the electorate at large that she'd do nothing until there was a broad consensus. Although the electorate, when asked, will say that the 'gubermint' should do something about AGW, that something shouldn't involve extra costs to the electorate. So JG told them what they wanted to hear in order to hang onto power. But after the 2010 election, she needed to tell the Greens something entirely different in order to hang onto power. Since JG is a principle-free zone, she told the Greens what they wanted to hear. She didn't see a problem in breaking her promise to the electorate since the next election was 3 yrs hence, and those dills in werstern Sydney wouldn't remember any of this by then. The common thread of course is JG and her craving for power. Not the power to do something mind you, just power for its own sake. Unfortunately for JG and the ALP, the plebs have remembered her unprincipled lies. And they just can't wait to let her know what they think of it. Posted by mhaze, Friday, 29 March 2013 12:56:52 PM

Dear Hasbeen,
Humans are very bad preparing for change but they are very good at adapting to it when it arrives. We all have to realise that there may be no return to the old days of reckless plenty. We have to change our lifestyles. Electricity, oil, et cetera will become more expensive and we shall have to look at using something else - like the ability of technology to transofrm the way energy is consumed and supplied. Tough times demand creative solutions. The free market has made electricity more expensive. It has slowed growth in renewables and rewarded the country's biggest polluters. We have privatised our power stations. Privatisation has given us an ongoing legacy of increased and extended use of our dirtiest power stations - and we have ensured that they remain immensely profitable to their owners. This has also kept prices high and has deterred investment in new clean energy sources. We need investments to make this country more competitive - we need to increase our capacity to find new ways of doing business. That is the key to building a modern economy based on advanced skills and technologies. Doom is not Labor losing the election. Doom is Mr Abbott as PM. The fact that some people can't see this is a massive indictment of those people and their judgement of character. Posted by Lexi, Friday, 29 March 2013 1:14:00 PM

As for Julia, the Nos will have it and the nose goes. Tick, tick..
One could add that the 'ears have it, but that is better the 'ear, 'ears.
But Julia was once very keen, flirting with the man she now calls Mr Rabbit,
