Hasbeen,

"As I mentioned somewhere else, the tidal currant runs parallel to the coast, not to & from the coast...."

Well, der.

"I'm a conservationist", says Abbott.

"US president George Bush senior flew to the Earth summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 claiming to be the environmental president. One US cartoonist had him being greeted there by three other male heads-of-state with "I'm Little Red Riding Hood", "I'm Miss Muffet" and "and "I'm Goldilocks!"

Nuff said....

TONY Abbott has been handed his first double-dissolution trigger after a bill to scrap the Clean Energy Finance Corporation was rejected for a
second time in the Senate but the government is unlikely to use it.

A DD as promised is in order. We have a budget that is divisive and unworkable. The issue should be forced by blocking supply.

Not even Turnbull could save this lot, now Brandis has added his name to the list of incompetence.

It takes a team working together, to make a govt; what we have is a mob of uninformed people ruled by a radical.

And Abbott's school chaplaincy program has just got the big flick from the High Court.

'And Abbott's school chaplaincy program has just got the big flick from the High Court.

You mean the legislation Gillard and Labour put through in support of Chaplaincy Poirot. Your hatred really does distort the facts.

For God's sake! Oh I can't say that anymore I'll be labeled a blasphemer and burnt at the stake. Runner, please read Poirot post, and I promise you wont burn in Hell, for the first offense the church penalty is only crucifixion. LOL

The article clearly states;

"the program was allocated nearly $250 million in this year's federal budget" Who's fingers are in the pie for this year. none other than Tax Em' Tony and Joe Cockey. Yes, <<legislation Gillard and Labour put through>>. It would have been too much to expect this mob to ditch that ridiculous Labor legislation. Fortunately The High Court has done it for us. I would have been in favor of spending $250m of taxpayer's money on a new girdle for Gina Rhinoceros before spending one cent on that church brain washing program in schools.

Tony Abbott has been criticised as "embarrassing" for the performance on his most recent overseas trip, for dismissing the significance of climate policy ahead of his meeting with president Obama, cuddling up to Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper to spearhead a two-man offensive against carbon trading and tortured schoolyard Franglais.

This comes after previous touring highlights: getting offside with Indonesia over spying and asylum seekers and putting Chinese noses out of joint with his assertion Japan was Australia's best friend in Asia.
The upshot is that voters are left with a distinct lack of confidence in Abbott's ability to represent the country's interests overseas.

The conservationist is in limbo, the world is rejecting abbot point.
Two-thirds of voters, including more than half of Coalition voters, want climate policy on the table when we have our moment in the global spotlight.

Abbott may have found a sympathetic ear in the Canadian prime minister when he said there were more pressing economic issues than climate change, but he hasn't won the argument at home.

As he prepares to host G20, it is not just the invited guests wondering whether an IPA-style lecture on the benefits of growth and fiscal rectitude is really what the world needs now
