Did I read that correctly?  A person who.thinks lies can walk is preaching comprehension?

Anyway,  putting aside the ridiculous analogies from our dubious friend progressives, the only thing I'll say is that if no one wants to be hit by a 4x2 then the only thing to happen is for the liberals to realise that the only person who will be left with credibility in politics in a years time is turnbull, and to hurry up and toss away the Abbott garbage.

Whyalla expected to boom, not bust, under the carbon tax
The Federal Government is predicting a jobs and investment boom for Whyalla, despite speculation it would be harmed by the carbon tax.

The Federal Government said it could not say whether there would be more Government help for Whyalla's steelworks - but the city's future appears set to thrive.
Yesterday Special Minister of State, Gary Gray, was among two Ministers to visit Whyalla to counter claims from the Opposition Leader Tony Abbott that the city would be 'wiped off the map' by the carbon tax.
Earlier this year, Steel producer OneSteel received a $64 million Federal assistance advance.
Mr Gray says in terms of the carbon tax, it was not appropriate to consider whether more help will be needed, but Whyalla was on track to prosper.
"The future holds what the future holds - what we do know is that already there are hundreds of millions of dollars of new investment.
"That's going to create jobs, economic activity, a whole new export growth industry out of the Eyre Peninsula and out of South Australia."
While Member for Grey Rowan Ramsay welcomed the Minister's visit, he was not convinced that Whyalla could prosper under the carbon tax.
He said the Government was not taking seriously the effect the Carbon Tax could have on the steelworks, and other possible investments that underwrite Whyalla's future.
"The Government does not understand the decision making processes for international investment."
Mr Ramsay questioned what would happen when OneSteel was no longer supported by the $300m Federal assistance, delivered as part of the Steel Transformation Package to offset the carbon tax.
"The question needs to be asked, what will happen in three years time when this subsidy runs out and the tax has increased to $29 a tonne?"
Looking to prepare for its carbon tax future, as from today the company OneSteel will be known as Arrium.
The name change is the result of the company wanting to reflect its broader mining operations, not just steelmaking.



would like to borrow their crystal ball for a few hours.

Mr Abbott said.....

"it is not the job of the Opposition to support bad policy".

That is why the ALP and Greens will not support Direct Action and dump the ETS in favor of poor policy.....Abbott has ensured he will never get support from the opposition and Australia will remain divided while he is leading the Coalition.....No one can trust Tony Abbott who continues to move the goal posts every time a compromise is offered!!!



A leader takes people where they want to go. A great leader takes people where they don't necessarily want to go but where they ought to be.

But you're still eating hamburgers with the lot, using electricity, driving and don't have to work any harder.  Was this giant really just a dwarf in Lilliput land?

What evidence?  You said yourself your life hasn't changed.

So in other words you just want to have a big whinge about nothing, and now that you've been caught out to be just a big whinge all you can do is come up with some redundant analogies and then attempt to put words together to sound coherent, yet not be able to justify your own argument.
