Our Kev

Our Kev, yes the one that we elected to government in November 2007 has let the side down.

We all knew that dealing with Climate Change was going to be difficult and would require courage, intellect, balls and brains. Little did we know that Kev would be taking his cues from the business lobby and their spokespaper "The Australian".

Kev talks about *getting the balance right* and says that both the *far right* and the *far left* are unhappy with his targets. He says that this shows that he is in the middle and that he is walking the tightrope and has got the *balance right*.

He can say what he likes – my view is that this is bullshit.

He has been conned by the business lobby and their far right spokespeople who write emotional claptrap that can only ever get published in the Murdoch press. If he chooses to listen to them ahead of the environmental lobby then of course he will be swayed by their view – as he obviously has. This is John Howard in drag – what is it about the office of Prime Minister that causes normal, rational, logical, honest and smart people to head to the *dark side*?

It seems like our Kev has been conned by Chris Mitchell – because he wants to be liked.

Kev, we didn’t elect you to be liked by Murdoch and Mitchell – we elected you to do the right thing by Australians.
