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.
Campaign lite: LOL Pols
|
With all the mudslinging and self aggrandisement we can expect from the major parties (and let’s face it, the minor ones too) over the next 6 weeks, it’s good to see a glimmer of humour amidst all the earnestness. The Greens Senators are running their own very special competition alongside the federal election: LOL Pols. For the LOL uninitiated, it’s a simple and seemingly addictive concept. Amusing photo + amusingly misspelled caption = hilarious. It supposedly began with Lolcats - you might want to check out I Can Has Cheezburger? for a general history and a few thousand photos - but it’s now extended its tendrils into just about everything. Wikipedia also has the full LOL run-down. So far only the Liberals have made an appearance in this competition…
Kevin Rudd does however feature on blog Reasons You Will Hate Me — not a traditional LOL Pol perhaps, but a forceful blending of image and word.
