But on balance, a good thing, in context, if it occurs.

I’d do a 60 km each way commute on a scooter when global warming has stopped the rain and a bingle with one of these carbon fibre cars feels like a fluffy duster.
Mel & Megan: I’m absolutely sick to death of this. Please take two weeks off. On return, no interaction with each other, or discussion of fluoride.
I protest a 2 week ban as undeserved. I never raised the topic or started a fight.
But as the host, it’s your prerogative.
I’m not sucking up but kudos to Pr Q for saying a year ago the right carbon price was $50. It seems the Obama administration agrees. See the Climate Spectator article titled $48 – the right price for a tonne of CO2?
Funny that the new explicit Aussie carbon price will be in the range $0 to $10.
@Fran Barlow Rudd would not stay on as opposition leader. I do not see him staying on the backbench
It may be unfair, but I’m too busy to sort out who started it. From now on keep clear of each other – if there are any unprovoked attacks, call my attention and they will result in a permanent ban.
for once, i agree with Rudd 2.0: Labor did not have a mandate to introduce a carbon tax.
Just as well they didn’t introduce one then … 😉
Mandate theory is bunkum in our system anyway.
Drone strikes have a stronger legal basis than any cruse missile strikes on syria.
From “The Business” last night: “New research shows that the superannuation industry raked in 18 billion dollars in fees last financial year, that’s more than 1% of Australia’s GDP”
Couple that with the sum of bank profits from our big 4 and it’s shameful to think how much of our hard earned spondulas are just thrown into the wind:(

Some nut called “M Haines” made the statement at #47. It has nothing to do with you. Now settle down.
Anyway, let move on to the anti-GMO nutters …
Rudd may lose his seat. How ironic
