Abbott cops heat over carbon farming

Comment 1 comment

Thursday, 28/07/2011

The Federal Opposition Leader, Tony Abbott, has defended his plan to combat climate change amid concerns farmers won't receive proper incentives for carbon farming.

Mr Abbott and Nationals Senator Barnaby Joyce fielded questions about the Coalition's Direct Action Plan at a community forum in Tamworth last night.

Farmers queried whether a deal would be made on how much they'd receive for efforts to cut carbon emissions.

Mr Abbott says not all landholders are motivated by the financial incentives.

"A lot of people are doing it without any payment from government," he said.

"I was on Jock Laurie's property near Walcha. Jock is increasing the carbon content of his soil and again he's doing it because he thinks it's worth doing without any additional incentive from government.

"So we're going to go to the market and we're going to spend as little as we need to to get the result we want."

Tony Abbott is in Armidale, spending a second day in independent MP Tony Windsor's electorate of New England. He'll attend a small business forum this morning and visit a local property later in the day to talk about carbon farming.

[...]

Tour de Abbott: Julia Gillard has ended her shoe leather tour, but Tony Abbott isn't letting up. As the PM spends a second day in a row behind closed doors, the Opposition Leader is doing what he does best - campaigning. It now looks increasingly like he'll spend much of the next two years on the road waging his high-volume attack on the carbon tax. It revives memories (nightmares for those who were there) of his final 36 hour push to election last year. As his confidence grows, he's now accusing the Prime Minister of running scared. "She seems to be avoiding the public and she seems to be avoiding talking about the carbon tax. Now, if her shoe leather campaign had succeeded she wouldn't have stopped it, she'd be continuing it."

The unsubstantiated claims by the rightards continue. Go do a door to door survey in Armidale and watch them laugh you off their porch.

I'm not the one that has anything to prove. You're making the claims that Windsor and Oakshott are doomed.

You just made a claim that the people of Armidale would still vote for Windsor. You have just as much to prove as I do.

LOL, Matty...how short is your own memory!?

Surely, you cannot be suggesting that I should have posted this in one of that many pointless Windsor-cum-Oakeshott threads that have you started yourself?!

What Nem? More lunacy, what's new? I meant that the thread title is misleading, as are the comments that Windsor will not lose.
