AL GORE has warned Tony Abbott to “change or get out of the way” of sensible environmental policy, labelling the Prime Minister a “straight-out climate denier”.

Speaking to Vice after forging an unlikely alliance with Clive Palmer, the former US vice-president said “silly” initiatives like the government’s direct action plan had “never worked anywhere.”

Mr Gore also praised the Palmer United Party leader, who has backed a carbon emissions trading scheme with a starting price of zero dollars, but only if Australia’s main trading partners adopt a similar mechanism, for putting forward a plan that was “so much better than would have been the case”.

“He does have an unusual style,” Mr Gore said of the Australian mining magnate. “But I think that whatever unusual features to his style there may be, deep down there’s absolutely no question in my mind that he has a sense of social justice, he has a keen sense of right and wrong. ... He wants to make the world a better place.”

The world's largest and most extreme Carbon tax soon to be gone.

Based on a lie and swindle where Juliar screwed the Australian voters in a desperate bid to grasp power.

Dear SM,

Yes. We know.

The PM has always had a knack of sidestepping blame for his
own hyperbole:

"It will make every job less secure...play havoc with
household budgets...hit every Australian family's
cost of living...Everyt ime you turn on a light, you pay.
Every time you open the fridge, you pay. Every time you
go to the airport or get on a bus or order a cup of
coffee you pay...the carbon tax is going to make
everything much, much worse..."

A month later - the nation came to the conclusion that
the tax wasn't going to make much difference to them at all.
The carbon-tax scare campaign like the rest of the PM's
tactics are running out of steam, including blame shifting,
and calling others liars.

That's why the essential media poll showed that the majority favoured getting rid of the tax.

I'm not surprised that the chief knuckle dragger in the Abbott Government, Finance Minister Mathias Cormann is doing his utmost to protect the big banks from a Royal Commission, RC's are something this government is keen on when it suits their political agenda, but when the calls are for a Royal Commission into their mates, this mob want no part of it. Despite thousands of ordinary Australians being duped out of millions by Com Banks financial advisers and despite claims of fraud and criminality, Abbott and co are once again doing their best to protect their mate down at big end of town. Strange that!
