Weak Carbon Reduction Policy Cost Labor Election...

… Says the Australian Climate Institute.


Oh, how fucking predictable interesting !

A poll commissioned by the Climate Institute suggests Labor could have won two extra seats and perhaps the election had it not deferred its carbon pollution reduction scheme (CPRS).
Of those polled, 32 per cent who voted Green said they would have voted Labor if it weren't for the decision to postpone the introduction of the CPRS.

What this poll fails to take into account is that had Labor stuck to it's guns on the CPRS, then the 1 in 3 Green votes they may have picked up, would have been completely wiped out by the votes they would have lost to the coalition, had they not dropped the CPRS.

Groompy Tom,
You bear an uncanny resemblance to the ( now deceased) Wolverhampton Ring Road Tramp. Are you one and the same? I think we should be told.

"Now deceased" ? Well that's the first I've heard of it ! I am indeed the Wolverhampton ring-road tramp and I've never felt better thank you.

Finding out you are dead will probably make you even more groompy !

Oh, you're confusing me with my late brother Fred. We were both Wolverhampton ring-road tramps you see, but that ring-road wasn't big enough for the two of us so...
