Dingbat day out

So after all the hysteria generated by the conservative ideologues and their mates on talkback radio and elsewhere in the mainstream media we find that the proposed *carbon tax* won't result in Armageddon after all. Instead, it will deliver tax cuts to the lowest paid in our society.

So the people of the nation will benefit from a *carbon tax* - what a surprise.

Ross Garnaut has outlined his plan. Without doubt most of it will be adopted by our Government.

"We are living through an awful contest between knowledge and ignorance" he said - referring to Nick Minchin's BS statements last week that "the earth is cooling".

I was going to link to an ABC story about these things but then I read the link and saw that both Monsignori Abbott and Nick Minchin were already there bullshitting again - all to satisfy the ABC's idea of "balance".

Fair dinkum the ABC has lost the plot big time. I think I will dedicate the rest of my story to the absolute and complete rubbish that is Australian public media. I want my money back.

The thing is that this debate really isn't about truth and facts anymore. This is all about how to impose a skewed dingbat conservative view of the world on the rest of us. They think they can "fool most of the people - most of the time".

And so far they are succeeding - with the pisant support of the ABC and its Managing Director and Board.
