Last night Professor Ross Garnaut said the Opposition's direct action plan is "expensive and foolish". And he also said carbon pricing "happens to be the low-cost way of meeting national targets".
But "Truth is optional" Tony is still batting away on his losing innings. And it's all because he is locked in on the wrong side of both "science" and "economics". It's what happens when you take a dingbat ideology and try to use it as a political wedge - sometimes it just gets run over by reality.
Even the wingnuts in the coalition must understand that and if they could see beyond next Friday then they would know they have a losing hand. The longer they persist with their current fiction then the harder the fall will be.
But that doesn't seem to worry anyone in the blue team - because Tony is front and centre and his "crash through or crash" strategy won't damage them much - will it?
And if they thought they could keep him propped up and just paper over his personality flaws then they just haven't been paying attention to the #abbottin3 hashtag on Twitter - or the ABC interpretation here.
It's all over - but they just haven't acknowledged that yet.
