Give it another few days at least until the details are announced. Obviously the proposal has to be fine tuned and discussed before released to the howling hyenas from the opposition.

So why won't she do it?

Because she's a red haired lying souless barren unmarried athiest witch is why. Cheesy

I think that covers it.

The real reason she won't is because she's waiting for Senator Fat Bitch from Tasmania to tell Senator Hansen-Thingy to tell Bob Brown what the Greens want her to do.

(PS I hesitated to disclose this news in case it gave neolithic-woody-reincarnated another power rush, but in the end I concluded the public had a right to know)

Know the enemies of a civil society by their public behaviour, by their fraudulent claim to be liberal-progressive, by their propensity to lie and, above all, by their attachment to authoritarianism.

Don't fret too much about this, yet - because the details of the proposed Carbon Price/Tax are yet to be determined...

Especially since the tax slug on petrol is already huge - and therefore the Federal Govt is in a position to substantially-reduce the 38.143 cents per litre Excise that currently applies...

Meantime, you will note that Abbott & Co have been squawking about a petrol impost of about 6.5 cents per litre...

Lamenting the shift in the Australian psyche, away from the egalitarian ideal of the fair-go - and the rise of short-sighted pollies, who worship the 'Growth Fairy' and seek to divide and conquer!

I do find it interesting that TAX of this massive size,, and they have no detail.. in otherwords.. lets do this tax and we will give ourselves 16 months to work out how to work it..and please all those independents at the same time.. whew!

is this really good enough its not as if judas wasnt there throughout the ETS debacle.. yet here she is saying she hasnt a clue whenever she is asked something... she has all ready wrong footed the mining industry,
by trying to twist what she said and what shes means.. being two different things.. then she lied at the election.

and now we are expected to believe her.. not ask to hard questions...

thats not right

Petrol will be the least of your worries.

Everything will be horrendously more expensive. Serves you right for voting for the left.

Suck it up. You asked for it.

I think it should only be applied to all leftwing voters to be fair. You lot keep wishing for it. It stands to reason that you should be the ones paying

not all hardlefties I dont think bob. just the ones on here.. Abbott got some god fgures during the election and it took our wonderful independents 17 days to decide..gawd who needs that round their neck.. I bet Abbott is saying his prayers all right thank you god for not getting me into that situation..she can have it..pandering to a bunch of wannabees.

I think you would be surprised how many dont agree with this woman..but we shall see wont we.. how much longer can she dodge these arrows..even Hawke doesnt give her long..lol
