Not only is the average Australian not informed on significant issues like "Climate Change" but apparently neither are Coalition MP's. According to Lenore Taylor - here.
The argument that Australia is considering "going it alone" on a carbon price flared during an estimates hearing yesterday.
The Nationals' Senator Ron Boswell said: "The one thing that is indisputable is that for Australia to go ahead alone is going to achieve absolutely nothing".
The secretary of the Climate Change Department, Dr Martin Parkinson, replied "the presumption that no one else is acting is a peculiarly Australian perspective - it is absolutely nonsense to say no one else is acting".
Exactly. So my questions are these.
"Why is it that people like Senator Boswell don't know what is happening in the rest of the world? Might it be that they *choose* to remain thick and ignorant?
If our members of parliament can't be bothered to access information that is readily available - then how will our citizens be informed? Or is that the *numbnut* plan? And why do we tolerate these "thickwits"?
