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.

I think Wayne’s more of a Sailor Moon eraser type myself.
Croquembouche, haunted. Brilliant!
Captain Planet? Yes - http://bit.ly/4x5GA
Plausibly oppositiony…..Gold!!
The terrible thing is…I suspect what you have depicted is the true truth!
Thank you, First Dog, for making me laugh when it was getting a little bit too serious. They should have stuck with the box of puppies.
Jeez Dog, I just paid my first subscription - it was the wine offer that tipped me over - and you start in on croquembouches. Really there’s nothing crunchy (or even crisp) about the Opposition’s thinking - as you so well evince.
Question is, how much more cynical disillusionment can we stand? Reminds me a bit of the political precursors to 1968 and all that!
Plausibly oppositiony = Implausible deniability
they love you!
Yes JG we do. just when it can’t get any better you throw to evangelion. God(sorry Dog - cant type straight) if you slip gigantor into a comic I’m a dead man
Regretably you’ve just described the federal ALP’s sincerity on green issues as well. Nada, nil, zilch, zero. It’s all about the wedge.
Wong’s delivery of 1/4 protection of the forests in NSw required by top class science 1995-1999, is the tell. Conversely 3/4 released to Big Loggers for 20 years resource security.
An absolute scandal all taxpayer funded courtesy of ‘green’ Bob Carr, policy advisers like Penny Wong, and even yes … such as John Connor now of the Climate Institute.
Inconvenient truly truths too.
