Heaven fucking forbid that a politician actually shows some initiative, and some direction instead of meandering worthlessly in the world of "Duh I'm a good economist!" *cue seven succesive interest rate rises*! Heaven forbid that a politician actually lean towards the greater good, even if it means that some people might suffer in regards to the fatness of their wallets! Oh me oh my! Oh the humanity.frog12986 said:Ah, St.Kevin is yet again trying to appeal to every person, every cause, yet does so at his peril. The ALP made a dangerous mistake believing that prioritising environmental causes over economic imperatives in 2004, it seems it is heading down an even more radical path in 2007.
But yes, it does seem as if Australians are willing to embrace climate change as a problem, but if it puts their jobs in jeapordy, or puts some of their cash in jeapordy then they're willing to put any environmental concerns outside in favour of sheltering their beloved hip pockets. Yep, Australians suck.
Might I also add that the um, what do you call it, document called the um, Stern Report seems to have made a pretty convincing case that doing nothing is going to be far more outrageously uneconomic than doing something right now. Looks as if Kevin really is a saint.
Yeah, but the context of WWII was vastly different to that of the "Operation Iraqi Freedom" so strongly supported by Howard and co.menelaus said:anyone who has done yr 10 history will know that John Curtin, a labor PM, took one of the biggest steps towards the Australian/US alliance, when he withdrew troops from the middle east and announced the shaping of a new plan "with the us as its keystone" in 1941.
