Gillard committed to carbon price: Wong

http://www.businessspectator.com.au/news/2010/7/1/policy-politics/gillard-commit...

Quote:

Prime Minister Julia Gillard is strongly committed to putting a price on carbon, her climate change minister has said at a major climate summit - 1st July 2010

This is why I preferenced Labor in August 2010.

Then in August 2010 she changed her mind and she said there would be no carbon tax

That's why she lied

That's a lie by omission, Maqqa. She said she was absolutely committed to putting a price on carbon.

Meanwhile Abbott puts us all in jeapordy by fostering denialism and delaying inevitable reforms. He is a grub and that is how he will be viewed by history.

Hunt says Coalition accepts IPCC findings

"What does this mean? It means that we need to do practical things that actually reduce emissions."

... and this is why Labor will just about cease to exist after September!

... after Penny Wong said this!

As far as I see it, there are two options

Do you vote for someone who can't run the party but is doing a reasonable job of running the country?

or do you vote for someone who can keep his party in check but looks like he is going to drag the country down ?

As bad as labor looks, I just do not see Abbott as any sort of credible PM.

Bob Hawke

If you can't run your party - you can't run the country

and your observation on Abbott is simply a bias guess

So what Hawke is saying is that Abbott is the right choice.

yes

Julia called the spill and got a 100% support from Labor.

Last count Abbott was supported by one person more than Turnbull.

your observation on Abbott is simply a bias guess

It is the view that virtually all the evidence suggests as almost certain.

it is biased, as is your opinion that he will be any good, but it is certainly not a guess .. it is based on his actions in his time as a minister under Howard and as opposition leader. ...
