The Greens oppose the CPRS not because it is too weak, but because it will point Australia in the wrong direction with little prospect of turning it around in the timeframe within which emissions must peak, says Senator Christine Milne.
The Tuesday Top 20
|
Poor old Dollar Sweetie! As a reward for his bravery last week, he’s knocked Kevin Rudd down a slot to come in at Number Two in the Crikey/Media Monitors Top 20 for the very first time – but he’s still scoring less than half the media mentions of the PM. New Queensland Premier Anna Bligh follows them at No. 4 – a very Peter Beattie level – but will be hard pressed to maintain those sorts of rankings. As will the media tart himself, this week our No. 5. The rest of the list is pretty predictable, including the presence at Number 17 of the nation’s highest profile candidate, Maxine McKew.
The talkback charts have a Queensland flavour this week, but the Prime Minister continues to dominate. He’s had plenty of love from the talkback callers during his recent ups and downs – and plenty of “he has to stay so we can see him lose” comments.
And the real world – or the world outside politics, anyway? Look at the mentions of poor Madeleine McCann. The story will only continue to boom as punters try to avoid the phoney election campaign and the grand final season.
