Carbon Politics

So today Kevin and Penny shelved the CPRS - the Emissions Trading Scheme. Essentially they had two options;

1) Call a Double Dissolution shortly or 2) Shelve the CPRS until a more politically convenient time.

They chose the latter but my guess is that it was a close call. Now they have some more options and the main one is about letting the numbnuts stew in their own juice.

Remember how those geniuses in the Coalition defeated the legislation in the Senate - twice because it is supposed to be "a great big new tax on everything".

Well Kevin has taken the fight directly to them. He had a good solution, he presented it to the people at the last election and he tried multiple times to get it through the parliament.

But the numbnuts rejected it - not because they had an alternative but because their lightweight leadership were ideologically opposed to it. They were so badly conflicted that they even discarded their best leader in a generation because he was for it and the rest of the dumfuks were agin it.

But all of that is history. And today they are running around like headless chooks trying to find another "issue" to campaign on later in the year. They will fail dismally and the way things are going they will lose another ten seats.

This is a clever move by Kevin because all Australian's know that the Coalition have been obstructionist and their leader is a climate change denier. He doesn't believe that carbon is a problem and has said so many times. The entire coalition leadership don't think that carbon is a problem and pretty soon they will get to fight an election on that position. I can hardly wait ;-) It's just hilarious.

The next election will largely be fought on carbon policies and the folks in the coalition have already demonstrated that they have no idea, no policies and they don't believe in it. No doubt Nick Minchin will be running their campaign.

As I said it's just hilarious.
