Another Policy Greens have gotten correct. Greens' action convinced ALP and now China.

Come on Mr Turnbull, get your party to support the Greens too.

Lets all work together on the next stage, 100% real renewable energy for Australia ... ASAP



Also Australia will now be required to shift it's obsession to selling coal and coal seam gas to a sustainable economic future. Coal exports will be hit at sometime as real renewables kick in, so lets not wait until it's too late. lets start restructuring now.

Australia can now focus on our agriculture by protecting it from coal seam gas destruction and selling the land to overseas for a few shinny buttons.

Also we must halt the invasion and destruction via GM crops. For like coal seam gas, GM has not been tested. and once here, like the cane toad, it will wreck our agricultural sector.

Renewable energy targets must now be lifted and Coal Seam Gas must be removed from Labor and Liberals stupidity of changing it to a renewable to keep the coal lobby happy by marginalising the real renewables.

Happy Greens New Year

Pensioners like you will be better off in the short term and the long term.

The price increases are less than what you will receive in compensation. Also the carbon reduction will assist real renewables to kick in so reduce the pressure on continual electricity hikes. Then there is the roll on effect, more economies will start taking responsibility for their greenhouse gases so will sporn new industries that will kick start conscious geo-engineering of the world's climate. This will turn around the rush to  collapse world food production and so avoid spiralling food costs to you.

This is a win win for everyone

PROBABLY TOO BUSY KEEPING AN EYE ON THIS PHONEY GOVT... TO BE CONCERNED WHAT CHINA WILL BE DOING IN 3 years time.



HE government is suffering "paralysis by analysis" after ordering more than 250 reviews, discussion papers, inquiries and advisory boards in two years, the opposition claims.

Everything from the Fair Work Act to the Australian Independent Screen Production Sector has been subject to a review or an inquiry.

AusAID and cyber crime are subject to more than one review, there have been two media inquiries and a much touted review of school funding arrangements was handed to the government last month and is due for release soon.

Gillard rejects Hawke's calls on unions

Gillard faces leadership battle in 2012

New Workplace Relations Minister Bill Shorten tops the list of ministers who have announced the most reviews, inquiries, discussion papers and advisory boards, with 18 investigations in two years.

His matters for examination include the review of the Fair Work Act, advisory bodies for the retail sector and a national injury insurance scheme.

He has also looked at what other economies are doing on climate, disaster insurance policies, regulation of airport services and a consultation paper on reducing red tape.

"To paraphrase Steven Spielberg - when you listen you learn, you absorb ideas, and you become better at your job than when you are just trying to be listened to all the time," Mr Shorten said.

"That is why I have spent plenty of time listening to people with a disability and their families, listening to victims of scallywag financial planners, to baby boomers who want secure retirement savings and to families who have been confused by flood insurance policies."

The Coalition's waste watch committee spokesman Jamie Briggs said the government was spinning its wheels with reviews and inquiries.

"If we thought the number of reviews under Kevin Rudd was bad, we now know it's a lot worse under Julia Gillard and would be even worse under a prime minister Bill Shorten," he said.

"While there are at times valid reasons for inquiries and reviews, the fact the government have launched so many is proof of the government's dysfunction. This government, captive of the Greens, finds it easier to announce reviews than undertake action."

A spokesman for Prime Minister Julia Gillard defended the number of reviews and inquiries: "Reviewing government operations, legislation and the impact of emerging issues is part an important part of governing.

"The government makes no apologies for seeking stakeholder, expert and community input on these matters."

No, Abbott will lose ground because he wedged himself.

This is a China 'is gunna' post green.
They haven't actually done anything yet and could very well decide to do nothing.
And Abbotts future does not rest on the air tax, is rests on Labors ability to make good policy and implement them well.
Something Labor is yet to do.
And whilst Labors border protection policy is being managed by foreign criminal people smugglers, and boats are sinking at sea, Abbott will still have much to malign the government over.
Labor cannot help but stuff something up.
They are the Keystone Kops of politics in the 21st century.
