Rostrum: Special Jacqui Lambie Edition!
Once in a while a politician comes along that you know is simply destined for fame and success. Enter Jacqui Lambie, The Palmer United Party MP from Tasmania.
While she may not command the overtly authoritarian demure of the likes of the twin-set wearing, pearl earring brigade in the Coalition ranks opposite, Ms Lambie has a unique style or her own which is kind of a Best and Less meets Target concoction.
But of course, Politics is about a whole lot more than how people look and sound, or is it? And as such Ms Lambie’s appeal surely lies somewhere beyond the boundaries of just Gagebrook and Broadmeadows.
“I’VE HAD A GUTFUL OF THIS SHIT”
The single mother of two fought a long-running battle with Veterans Affairs to receive compensation after leaving the army on medical grounds.
She wants more taxpayer-funded support for Tasmania, including from the foreign aid budget.
AUSTRALIANS PAY TOO MUCH TAX – WHO KNEW?
Senator Lambie also wants more assistance for military veterans.
She has ruled out supporting key Government policies including the $7 Medicare co-payment, deregulation of university fees and cuts to welfare.
The Government has so far failed to successfully reach out to the combative Senator.
Described by PUP’s Queensland parliamentary leader, Alex Douglas, as a “bogan”, Senator Lambie has an unusual pedigree for a federal politician.
Lambie secured only 1501 first-preference votes at the election and called Prime Minister Tony Abbott a “psychopath” who needs a “bucket of cement” to “toughen up.”
Asked if she was interested in becoming Prime Minister one day, she said that she “absolutely” aspired to take on Tony Abbott for the top job.
Ms Lambie lists her favourite weapon as an M60 submachine gun and admits that she only joined PUP because she was running out of money.
In the Liberal preselection ballot in 2012, Senator Lambie did not gain a single vote.
She later confronted Tasmanian Liberal Party state director Sam McQuestin and accused him of running a “boy’s club”.
Mr McQuestin rejected the attack, pointing to other female candidates.
He said she was later automatically expelled from the Liberal Party when she announced she would run against them.
GET OVER IT!

So, the ‘pig’ is her favourite!
Apparently…. ‘Asked for an opinion of euthanasia, a Palmer United spokesperson said in the Senate yesterday: ‘Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a racist or nothin’ – I don’t mind ’em if they stay in Asia, it’s just when they come out on boats & steal minimum-wage jobs from Tasmanians. Did I mention I was in the Army? Are you recording this –aw, shit!’ That’s Palmer United Dog Shit.
took em a week to wake up
Once in a while a politician comes along that you know is simply destined for fame and success.
Only read this sentence … we still think alike, sreb, last night I said to The Minister – “What a rough diamond she is!”
Give her a few months and a decent mentor (not Clivey!)
No-one is going to phase this gal!
And from Taswegia too … excellent …
I await the Liberal Party muck-raking via, Operation Sovereign Border (how “did” she get across the Tasman and onto the mainland????) and the MURDOCH MINCING MACHINE
Just a “slight” correction … ’cause Wally and Kneel will pick up on it very quickly being military experts an’ all …
The M60 is not a “sub” machine gun … is a full blown machine gun … and fires a 7.62mm NATO round, manned by two people … one feeding the belt … and used in Vietnam as a section support weapon … and anyone who’s fired one will tell you they are deadly! And yes, I have …
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M60_machine_gun
The ADF no longer use the M60 … replaced by the FN Minimi … my son’s generation trained with /used both and all agree they prefer the M60 … more hitting power …
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FN_Minimi
Just sayin’ 🙂
Even an obvious idiot like Lambie can see tabot i a bigger idiot.
Welcome to our politics. Do we laugh, or cry?
I’m settling on a combination of the both at the moment, which probably makes me look like a bigger idiot than the two of them together 😦
cryin’ time I reckon
Projected annual savings in electricity costs of $550 per household from scrapping the carbon tax may be dwarfed by the withdrawal of up to $3500 per household in other government payments linked to it and the mining tax, according to new research.

The Federal Government has cut the dementia and severe behaviours supplement, paid to providers of care for people with severe behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia.

“Welcome to our politics. Do we laugh, or cry?”
Oddly enough, I was thinking the same thing this morning.
For me, I’m just looking forward to the day when Abbott gets handed his arse on an electoral plate. Then and perhaps only then can we salvage what’s left of this “once great nation.”
“Don’t smile because it’s over, cry because it happened.”
One wonders if this will be remembered in two years time?
Whoo, TR ???
🙂
Since it’s non stop rain here
“One wonders if this will be remembered in two years time?”
Wow as usual Tom R is playing politics and using vulnerable people for political purposes.
I seem to remember the ALP cut a Howard govt dental program to try and save money.
If you retards did not trash the budget none of this stuff would have been occurring.
It just proves to me that we would have never got our AAA credit rating back if Keating was not thrown out in 1996.
The ALP is will never run surplus budgets over the long term because they are addicted to spending money and trying to brag about how great they are because they spend on this, that and whatever.
THE AUSTRALIAN LABOR PARTY IS A CORRUPT AND IMMORAL PARTY ELECTED BY CORRUPT AND IMMORAL PEOPLE
Wow as usual Tom R is playing politics and using vulnerable people for political purposes.
ROFL
Get stuffed Tom R.
Name me one ALP govt in the last 35 years that has paid off any debt???
It was not until Costello took our Fed DEbt from 19% to 5% of GDP that we got our AAA credit rating back.
Then you ALP retards said Costello should not have run surplus budgets but spend on this, that or whatever.
It was our low debt that saved us from the GFC.
You use cripples, people with dementia, the poor and people in trouble for political purposes.
You are among the lowest scum of humans on this planet.
Get stuffed Tom R.
ROFL
Just to recap, this is what set nil off

And then he started ranting about “retards” 😯
– Menzies governments never ran a surplus.
– 77% of all Australian government budgets since federation have been deficits.
– Post WWII, the only surpluses occurred under Labor governments until 1998.
– The stock market generally has better returns during government deficit years.
– The current interest burden of Australian government debt is about the same as it was in the 1950s, 60s and 70s. (3-4% tax receipts).

Hmmm… it will be interesting to see how Jacqui goes. Time will tell.
The ability to stand up against the unreasonable policies of Abbotts mob is a desirable feature, but doesn’t necessarily make for a good pollie.
I won’t say that the quality of a majority of Australia’s politicians has hit rock bottom, as I feel there are some who will go even lower over the next year or so.
Tony Windsor is the best pollie we’ve had in several decades now, and there just doesn’t look like there’s any talent on the immediate horizon.
My thoughts are summed up in one of my favourite cartoons . . .

Described by PUP’s Queensland parliamentary leader, Alex Douglas, as a “bogan”,
I happen to know all there is to know about this subject – I watched one episode of Bogan Hunters. Most of the contenders for the title of ‘Australia’s Biggest Bogan’ come from … wait for it … Tasmania.
wait for it … Tasmania.
They have an unfair advantage over the less scarcely(?) settled mainland though tosy 😉
Meanwhile, back in Australia the Federal Government is being lobbied by power producers using coal and gas to wind back the renewable energy targets that would see 20 per cent of this country’s power generated by renewables by the end of the decade. Little wonder they want the targets lowered. The explosion in wind farms and solar rooftop panels in homes across Australia has already cut the demand for electricity and left them with gold-plated infrastructure that can no longer be justified. For one Queensland company, the decentralisation of power production has been devastating:
“In the last five years of our generation business, we’ve made nothing.”
All this leaves the Federal Government in a difficult situation. If it decides to wind back the policy clock and downplay renewables, it will lose a high-tech cutting-edge industry while it props up old-style big polluters. As economist and author Jeremy Rifkin puts it, the choice is stark:
http://www.abc.net.au/4corners/stories/2014/07/03/4038488.htm
Should be an interesting one
“They have an unfair advantage over the less scarcely(?) settled mainland though tosy”
True, but the actual term originated in Melbourne, apparently.
It was the first time I’d heard it when we went to Melbourne.
Maybe some tassie flotsam first brought it there? Geoff Hayward?

Yes, here’s Melbourne with its tradition of interesting lane ways, cafes, great restaurants, fashion and a climate suited to drinking good shiraz…

FUCK U SIR NODDY! LOL!
Why does it takes so long for people to wake up?
Its easy to see where the Abbott Government gets the concept of its own Wall of Silence, bearing in mind that the bloody Cabinet is run by a wannabe catlik priest (???) and the majority of ministers are catliks …
Why does it takes so long for people to wake up?
Well, it IS Sunday morning 😉
its own Wall of Silence
In so many ways.
Recently, however, we have seen that in government, a new form of political orthodoxy is being enforced by the Coalition: the suppression of discussion of climate change.
While in a former life they were fiery advocates of the right of climate change denialists to have an equal say in public debate, and of anti-environment fringe groups to be given platforms to spruik their values, they have changed their tune. Once in government, Abbott’s defence of freedom of speech has started to come apart. He is using his new position of power to take action to limit the freedoms of those who might question the government’s increasingly tenuous position on environmental policy.

They are hosing down the idea that heat waves and bush fires have something to do with CC.
This is a good thing.
This is a good thing.
Hardly surprising that you would find the stifling of scientific voices a “good thing”
There is simply no scientific foundation to linking these weather events to climate change.
Well, obviously, that is what our gubamint wants us to believe, as wrong as it is.
This is what they want us to miss out on.

Lambie will be lots of fun, and not only piss-off the #Teabags, but also the decafinated alp teabags And teabag-media(which is already on display RE willisee/motor-party interview),
and Lambie going after the minister for misogyny won`t hurt Lambie, just as being ex-adf won`t hurt her(in an adf/a environment of sexual-assault),
and the 10%-vote nationwide, ex-hanson bogan-market will likely see Lambie as a much suitable replacement to pauline, not the duopoly
#Go-Clive #Go-Lambie
“the 10%-vote nationwide, ex-hanson bogan-market will likely see Lambie as a much suitable replacement to pauline”
Yeah, she’d definitely got the bogan appeal. But the question every Australian needs to ask themselves – would youse vote for her?
“#Go-Clive”
Call me old fashioned but I have doubts about Clive’s sincerity.
”””””””””””””””’A QUEENSLAND poll suggests Premier Campbell Newman and more than half his MPs face losing their seats at next year’s election.
A REACHTEL poll of voters commissioned by The Sunday Mail and the Seven Network indicated up to 40 of the Liberal National Party’s 73 sitting members could be voted out, the Mail reports. Of almost 1900 Queenslanders asked
http://www.news.com.au/national/breaking-news/qld-poll-warns-of-heavy-losses-for-lnp/story-e6frfku9-1226979366267
”””””””””””””””
””””but I have doubts about Clive’s sincerity””””
l don`t. Clive is sincere in wanting to rattle the teabags cage,
don`t get me wrong, l`m sure he`ll do some trough-snouting in his own interest too, but `anybody` removing some power from the duopoly can only be a good thing for those of us `down-stream`,
under mr-rabbit(or_joolya) there was/is, no gay marriage, no voluntary euthanasia and no medical-choof, and there doesn`t seem to be any light at the end of the tunnel on these personal Liberty issues with the duopoly,
at least with having non-duopoly people taking seats off`em, there `may` be a chance for some of these issues to be dealt with,
(or we can keep with the duopoly for `more` of the same)
Fair point.
”””would youse vote for her?”””
yeah, if in her electorate, l`ve lived and voted in about six locations around the country, and what l`ve noticed is most electorates seem be pretty stagnant, and retain the duopoly, both at federal and state/s levels, so for `several` elections they are `red`, voters finally get pissed-off with`em so go `blue` for a couple of elections, then return to `red` (or-vice-versa) and no other party/independent is even considered,
so just as dunny`s says his electorate is `fixed`/safe/permanent teabag seat, the vast majority of seats are `safe` duopoly seats, held by parties you can`t slide a cigarette-paper between in difference on most issues(say-gay-marriage-etc) while those that `are` different don`t get the promotion in teabag-media
(l`ve been stuck in `safe` duopoly seats)
‘no medical-choof’
I think its a state matter. NSW and Taswegia are presently mulling over the idea of growing weed in the apple isle for medical purposes.
l really don`t give a fcuk about the Fed-State/s back`n`forth blame-game dumpty, either or any moving on these issues is a good thing,
instead, we get the fcuking opposite, NT put-up teh world`s first voluntary euthanasia Law, and the johnW federal fcukwits squashed the NT law, and NT citizens rights #teabags
medical-choof, and don`t forget iboga too
We seem to be a very backward nation in so many respects – marriage equality, euthanasia, decriminalising drugs etc…
I blame the infiltration of the religious nut jobs in Coalition ranks for that.
iboga is life changing.
That’s why big pharma is so against it.
Call me old fashioned but I have doubts about Clive’s sincerity.
That’s because you’ve become a real

China blasts ‘appalling and insensible’ Tony Abbott for showing admiration for Japan and its wartime aggression

The Xinhua news agency, the state-run press agency of the People’s Republic of China, has launched a scathing attack on Mr Abbott accusing him of crossing the “moral bottom line” with his overtures to Mr Abe.
It described Mr Abbott as “appalling and insensible” for showing such admiration for Japan’s wartime aggression.
They obviously haven’t been following tabot too closely. There IS no “moral bottom line” when it comes to him.
Don’t believe what you read in hate media.
Abe said he was sorry for the wartime atrocities committed in the middle of last century and can we talk about bullet trains and cars.
China is fearful of encirclement and a new cold war, so the monk is treading a fine line.

“…reality, however utopian, is something from which people feel the need of taking pretty frequent holidays….”
― Aldous Huxley, Brave New World
reality is something you should actually try visiting one day goog 😉
There is orthodoxy and groupthink, which is your reality not mine, so I’m a misfit. You can quote me on that.
If you are actually calling science “groupthink”, then “misfit” does not go close to describing you.
I’d try “fucking stupid” 😯
Climate science, as practiced by the self-described Hockey Team is not science. It is
groupthink.

You want to have sex with yourself????
That explains a lot about your comments.

Meanwhile the industrial thuggery that underpins the business model of the CFMEU is being exposed by the RC. The disregards for the law is disgraceful.
Traditionally ALP barrackers reply to this evidence with stuff like –
• But, but but…it’s a tough industry
• Look at all those dodgy subbies
• There’s not been a conviction
• It’s a beat up
Mainly barrackers roll out many of the same excuses about the CFMEU as they did with Craig Thompson and Michael Williamson.
‘Your democracy is not working when political parties are named after people and other parties are named “Motoring Enthusiasts”.
‘At least the Rhinoceros Party from Canada made more sense when it was around. Like their plan to phase-in driving on the left side of the road; starting with large transport trucks in year one, other trucks in year two, small cars in year three, VW beetles in year four.’

Australia’s highest representative (GG is just window dressing) … puleese …
this was a dispute about safety and workers’ right to elect their own representatives. In the year follwing the dispute, 4 people were killed on Grocon sites.

OHS legislation requires that employees elect or choose their OHS rep. Unions in construction can’t stand that type of participation, it goes against their ability to close a site on spurious OHS grounds.
The CFMEU organiser typically rolls up to a site with an OHS rep and a delegate and advises the constructor that these are the people he will employ.
Denial of this reality (particularly in Victoria) is nonsense, and it is the main reason CBD building costs in Melbourne are far higher than those in Sydney (for example)
But, but but…it’s a tough industry
Especially when you are fighting (literally) Grocon, whose record is less than impressive. And Emporium is no different to their other sites.
In 2013, four people have been killed on Grocon sites. Crane driver Bill Ramsay fell to his death on the Myer Emporium on February 18. The wall collapse at the CUB site on March 28 killed young brother and sister Alexander and Bridget Jones and French engineer Marie Faith-Fiawoo.
There is also a long list of serious accidents.(See below)

Sorry yomm, but a pamphlet with some numbers but no actual sighting of “thuggery ” isn’t really evidence of ” industrial thuggery that underpins the business model “.

Considering the examples of the builders attitude to workers shown above, I’d be getting fucken sweary too!

A waste of good red wine. He should have used a bottle of white.
You just want a ride in one of their utes, eh Tom R.
Yep, we have Melbourne CBD building costs being about 30% higher than Sydney’s, despite Sydney being more congested.
Then we have the safety barriers on the Westgate Bridge which followed the death of a 5 year old girl. Holland’s had an agreement with the AWU to perform the installation, the CFMEU wanted it and disrupted the site, and used bikie gangs to intimidate workers.
Then the Myer redevelopment, which was only about the ability of the CFMEU to install their own safety reps over the ones elected by actual workers. They defied numerous Supreme Court injunctions against the disruption.
Could someone provide a rational explanation for this?

Well I see the ALP/Greens/whatever do not want Australia to run surplus budgets.
Anybody who thinks that the ALP would have got our AAA credit rating back after Hawke/keating lost it is insane. It was not until Howard/Costello govt govt debt down to 5% of GDP until we got our credit rating back.
The ALP/Greens/Palmer cannot stop spending.

Crane driver Bill Ramsay fell to his death on the Myer Emporium on February 18.
Although, as I said, a pamphlet is not an example. I think the correct term is “propaganda” 😉
So that gives the CFMEU the right to ignore –
*the Supreme Court & injunctions
*the election of OHS reps by the workers
Has the behaviour of the Vic CFMEU produce safer sites than those in Sydney?

I wouldn’t know about that, but it has quite obviously produced a safer site than before they got there in Victoria.
And yes, the safer outcome does give them the right for your dot points imo
Has the behaviour of grollo-corp produced safer walls than those in Sydney?

if that was a man talking ricky, you would be saying he is a no nonsense, straight talking/shooting, stand-his-ground or force-to-be-reckoned with guy with no mention of his wife at all 😉
Tom R, do you have some evidence that the illegal behaviour of the CFMEU has produced a better safety record on construction sites in Melbourne than in (say) Sydney?
Construction costs in Melbourne are about 30% higher than in Sydney, I’d be interested in a safety rationale for this.
LOL @ KL … chuckle …

produced a better safety record on construction sites in Melbourne than in (say) Sydney?
I thought I was pretty clear above when I said I didn’t know about that.
What I did know is that safety in the Victorian sites increased after the Unions became involved.
Perhaps construction companies in Victoria need to be learning from their Sydney counterparts instead of fucking off surfing all the time and trying to blame Unions rather than their “reds” 😉

Fair comment.
And from your Kouk link AO
The first issue that the budget had to deal with was covering Tony Abbott’s spending spree on paid parental leave, roads and the medical research future fund. Next, it had to cover the huge loss of revenue from abolishing the carbon price and the mining tax, and cutting the company tax rate by 1.5 percentage points to 28.5%. The challenge in the budget was getting back to square one after these expensive pet projects were funded.
Finally, someone is highlighting just what the “leaners” are actually paying for.

If you had come to my lectures you would know that the work of Cook has been discredited.
””””””””’The type of “false balance” news segment that the BBC is now actively trying to avoid is one that is fairly common in American network news’ climate change coverage. It involves putting one person who is well-versed on climate science next to a person who denies climate science, and having them debate.
Editorially, this type of debate makes the network look like it’s being balanced, giving equal opportunity to opposite viewpoints. However, because 95 to 97 percent of climate scientists agree that man-made greenhouse gas emissions are causing the planet to warm, that balance is false, giving disproportionate time to a viewpoint that is widely rejected in the scientific community.
In order to have a truly balanced and statistically representative debate about climate change, television news networks would have to pit 97 climate scientists against three climate deniers. Because that likely wouldn’t work very well, the BBC is favoring an approach that instead severely limits the amount of air time climate deniers are given.

‘CHIMP researchers have discovered a lexicon of 66 gestures, 54 of which are jokes at the expense of Sir David Attenborough.
‘Scientist Emma Bradford said: “They have five different gestures to make fun of Attenborough’s high-waisted trousers, 10 laughing at his plummy accent, and three specific gestures to compare him unfavourably to his brother’s performance in Jurassic Park.
“Attenborough is the main constant in chimps’ lives. And it seems they hold him in low esteem.”
‘The study looked at more than 5,000 incidents and found that even when threatened by predators, chimp communities would still send youngsters down to ruin takes by pointing their arses at the camera.

And did everybody see the reaction to such “puny fiscal tighteneing”??
It just goes to show how hard it is to run a surplus budget when greedy Labor voters want things spent on themselves. It was not until Costello got debt down to 5% of GDP that we got our AAA credit rating back. We will lose it again somewhere between 10%-20% of GDP. So there is a budget emergency. Furthermore we have to fund our debt offshore unlike some other countries. We are now paying $1B/month in interest on our relatively low debt. $700M of that goes offshore to foreign investors.

You know if The Squeal Troll from Abbotts Troll Army gets paid by the point , no wonder he’s buyin $3 Aldi plonk, 🙂
Not trolling just telling the truth. Couldn’t stand to see the ALP liars back in power again.
In 13 years of Hawke/Keating govt only 3 surplus budgets happened. This was followed by 6 years of Rudd/Gillard giving us 6 deficit budgets and zero surplus budgets. So in 19 years of ALP rule we have only 3 surplus budgets.
The ALP cannot control its spending. Never has, never will.
Furthermore most ALP supporters do not care about Australia. They only care about themselves and want the govt to go into deficit so they can be looked after better. They care for nothing but themselves.
Like I said same repetitive bullshit.. deficit, blah blah… why dont you talk about how ineffective their apparently “Mandated” majority government is in enacting its legislation? How its trailing to decimation in the polls? The broken promises? The inequality in taxation? The victimisation of the weakest members of Australian society? The dismantling of action on climate change and the destruction of the clean energy industry? Why dont you talk about the disgraceful disregard for the environment? The paying of 880 million dollars in a tax refund in exchange for free publicity to get elected? Maybe the unwarranted and completely unnecessary changes to 18C to facilitate Bolt or Occupied not occupied? How about the cuts to the ABC and SBS that were not going to happen, which puts the deal with China at risk? Why dont you talk about the cuts to mental health, aboriginal legal aid? How about the increases in funding to the Chaplaincy program and decreases in mental health counseling? Or would you rather talk about the internationally embarrassing diplomacy pissing off just about everyone from a man who could only be described as a creepy moronic imbecile?
More importantly why don’t you talk about Thursday watching Abbott not be upholden to minority parties and that big loaded DD trigger will be as per ironclad pledge… but by all means The Squeal Troll you rabbit on like a broken record about the debt, keating and f35’s i’m feeling sleepy or are you too fucking embarrassed that you voted for this shambolic rabble of incompetent dogs. 🙄
“why dont you talk about how ineffective their apparently “Mandated” majority government is in enacting its legislation? “
Abbott has the numbers in the lower house to get any legislation passed. They don’t have the number in the Senate to pass the legislation. Gillard had the numbers to pass any legislation she wanted through both houses.
If Labor did not trash the budget there would not be any need for cuts. But Labor ALWAYS trashes the budget because Labor supporters believe money grows on trees and does not care about debt. Never have, never will.
It will be worse for everybody in the future if we don’t start running surplus budgets.
The ALP is not the answer it is the problem.

‘The dismantling of action on climate change and the destruction of the clean energy industry?
All good stuff.
‘Why dont you talk about the disgraceful disregard for the environment?’
Yes Neil, what have you got to say about that?
The Squeal Troll
That would be the minority government, where Gillard negotiated over 520 pieces of good legislation to law.? Is that your answer? Pathetic…. Abets,Pyne Brandis and Abbott are incapable of negotiating..nor governing for the majority… The proof of the pudding is in the eating..They are full of shit, inept and incapably incompetent.. the only real PUPs in the parlimnt is what Abbot sold to the people bullshit.
And there in lies my point…you are incapable of discussing anything else because you are :
A Profoundly embarrassed and ashamed by these incompetent bullshit artists and their social engineering.
B A consistent bullshit artist of meager political intelligence which is why you relate to these fucking idiots
C You’re a one trick troll as displayed by your answer.. you have nothing but a tires couple of irrelevant worn out phrases based on lies of a delusional version of historical fact…like your fearless leader
If you cant talk about what is happening now in this blog.. just tell the Abbotts dog squad you have failed and another hobby where you don’t have to live on Adli Plonk and Coral Baked beans…You are a one trick political wingnut, with nothing to add to debate.. just do us a favor and fuck off. Take up Karaoke..reading from a script singing the same song out of tune for a gathering of culturally ignorant fucktards with no taste is right up your ally.
Add, repeatedly regurgitate the same inane twaddle consistently and you are pretty much the archetype troll.
“‘Why dont you talk about the disgraceful disregard for the environment?”
Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant. But you are quick to judge Abbott after 9 months. Historically the Coalition has a good record regarding the environment.

“The Howard Government delivered the world’s first Oceans Policy and major marine parks in the Great Australian Bight, Australia’s south-east marine region around Tasmania, around our sub-Antarctic islands, and greatly increased protection of the Great Barrier Reef. A number of Australia’s major fisheries were rationalized and restructured, underpinned with a multimillion-dollar package to provide the necessary graceful exits. One of the biggest legislative reform agendas in Australia’s history was delivered with the creation of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act. Fish became recognized as wildlife not just a commercial commodity and hundreds of millions of dollars were invested through the National Heritage Trust in Australia’s first national program for coast and marine protection and rehabilitation.“
‘Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant.’
Hear hear!
😆

A little side note on the G20 .. being held in Brisbane … for the last month or so around 11.00am during the weekdays … a lone Blackhawk has flown quite low over my home, same speed and heading and pretty much the height … now, if I was a terrorist … 😯
carbon dioxide is not a pollutant
cigarettes are not dangerous…
Guns dont kill people
Big new tax
Budget emergency
stop the boats
Yeah that’s like describing physics as doing times tables…. fuck off with your denialist bullshit…
The Squeal Troll lives in the past
You have an innate inability to talk about this fucktard Abbott the megalomaniac that labeled himself as an environmentalist do you? Facts in the here and now don’t lie….Go back and tell the dictatorial great leader in the directorate of propaganda you are a fucktard failure as a squeal stooge troll just like this sham government that cant even legislate its doctrine of social engineering masquerading as a budget due to its inept deceptive lies and economic incompetence
“carbon dioxide is not a pollutant”
This is true. It is actually plant food. Plants grow better with higher CO2.
I notice you are also trying to put words in my mouth. In your list i agree with the ” budget emergency.” Most of the stuff on your list is putting words into my mouth.
The Coalition has a good record on the environment. The whole Marine Park system was started by the Howard govt. Plus lots of other stuff. You should read this link.

This is a well known fact, but the green leftoids prefer not to think of unfortunate truths.
I will remind you fucktards this thread is about Jacquie Lambie not a fucking denialist jerk circle for imbecile wingnut parrots pretending to be scientists so they can cheer or immorally reprehensible lying fucktards pretending to be adults… over into your kennel….
“This is true. It is actually plant food. Plants grow better with higher CO2.”
More Boltian memetardism.
How do ya reckon you would handle a CO2 overdose, Neil?
How about a bit of overall understanding.
And…Fuck You Port Power! counted your fucking chickens a bit soon?
Tigers!
Anyone who actually believes that the Coalition is ‘pro-environment’ has their head tucked so far up their arse that they’re in danger of paralysis.
The Coalition is pro-environment and conservationist.
In other nooze, dog bothering falls to new lows.
‘Pope Francis has revealed that one in every fifty Catholic priests is a paedophile, it has been reported.
‘The pontiff was quoted as saying that advisors had told him that reliable figures show that ‘paedophilia inside the church is at the level of two per cent.’
‘The Pope reportedly told Italian newspaper la Repubblica that abuse of children was like ‘leprosy’ infecting the Church.’

‘It was also believed to be riddled with spelling mistakes.’
This innuendo comes as a shock.
(Spelling mistakes are indeed a worry; good to know that the editor-of-the-editor-of-the-gaps is available to ask unasked for a unilateral and independent redraft of deliberatively agreed amendments that otherwise might require a bill to be returned to the lower house, so that no such unfortunate outcome might occur to upset the normal functioning of parliamentary and constitutional requirements; no wonder boil-over Clive was expressing such misdirected dissatisfaction at his being caught out so rudely misspelling and his being most properly corrected, just in the nick of time, by exceptional proofreaders and redrafters at a place other than his usual and expected political accommodation.)
I love it that palmer is highlighting what Labor have said all along, removing the Carbon Price will not drive down bills.
tabot rants about a “mandate”, but his “mandate”, for whatever it is, is built on the proviso that people will be getting their $550 back.
If he cannot guarantee that, he has lost all claim to his “mandate”, and his bogus claims before and since the election are getting exposed for the bullshit they are
Like this one
Refrigerant gases have apparently been struck out of the carbon tax repeal bill’s legal requirement for price cuts to be passed on to consumers, even though they were at the centre of the Abbott opposition’s dire warnings about price hikes.
…..
“Companies such as supermarkets, airlines … [and] landfill operators are presently under absolutely no legal obligation to take off the price of carbon, if and when the existing legislation is repealed,”
http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2014/jul/13/coalition-expected-to-drop-refrigerant-gases-from-carbon-tax-repeal-laws
Basically, it looks like permission to pocket the profits. A mandate to give business our “tax” dollars.
Refrigerants should be taxed, most of the processed food being preserved is injurious to human health.
“Education Minister Christopher Pyne appears to have taken much of the blame and would currently lose his electorate of Sturt in Adelaide’s eastern suburbs in a 15 per cent swing away from him, propelled by a disastrous approval rating of minus 14 per cent.”

‘Last month it took more than 20 firefighters to free a US student who had become trapped inside a giant sculpture of a vagina in Germany. But genital art elicited a very different response in Japan this week, when police arrested an artist for distributing data that enables recipients to make 3D prints of her vagina.’
Guardian
Arrested? Don’t the Japs know that Vagina Art is all the rage in certain circles (including knitting circles apparently).
The artist seems a little confused as to it’s proper use:
I’m sure if she keeps playing with it she will find some more satisfying uses.
