SM,

I'm well aware of the subject of this thread
but it wasn't me who diverted it. I merely
responded to the criticism of giving New Matilda
as a link on the subject and tried to explain
why I chose that link. However the pots
always gang up when it comes to calling out the
kettle.

Here is the excellent link once again for those
interested:

Lexi,

Your idea of an excellent link is a factually devoid fluff piece by a left wing activist.

This floating carbon tax is temporarily lower than the fixed carbon tax, with the idiotic effect of $bns of tax revenue syphoned off to the EU.

SM,

As Poirot pointed out to me on another thread -
we all realise that you find it difficult to
make sense of anything that hasn't passed through
the MSM colon.

However, she's right, I do get much enjoyment in
delivering alternative viewpoints and trying to
broaden narrow vistas like yours.
I shall continue to do precisely that old chap,
so get used to it!

Cheers.

What is all this about $ billions siphoned off to EU. We have carbon credits here, i sure they will be for sale at the right price.
Then again that came from SM, anything to make mountains out of mole holes Just like Abbott telling the smugglers to overrun NG.
There is not much coming out of the coalition, maybe they are having a meeting. Abbott has a troubled look about him lately, i wonder what it could be.

Lexi,

Drug taking is an alternative lifestyle, Neo nazis have an alternative political viewpoint, as do communists, all with narrow view points. While you wear your "alternative" badge with pride, it gives you no intellectual kudos.

NM and IA are alternative, their viewpoints are about as narrow as it gets.

SM,

Is that right?

I don't agree.

But then I suppose you'll find something wrong with the
following:

Or perhaps it will somehow suit your "objective"
sensibility in this case.
