Bob Brown - de facto Prime Minister of Australia

Reminds me of Tony "make a buck" Windsor, who sold his property
at Tamworth to Werris Creek Coal for $4.625million. ($12300 a hectare
compared to other properties nearby @ between $2767 and $5128 per
hectare...and then spends $5.9million buying up property which has been
targeted for coal-seam gas exploration.....jeez its great to be in the know
isnt it....dont you luv politicians...

 

Garry, your:

So you suggest that instead of using food producind land, used for growing food, we chop down that bushland and fill it with what?

...just shows that you haven't got a clue, maybe you don't even live in Australia!
I live in WA, and we got plenty of bush bush bush bush bush and so on.
We would have all the land to create as much energy as we want! Not only for us, but for neighbouring regions as well.
All we need is a vision and the postive outlook for a brighter future.
Sell the bloody energy to our neighbours, bury the power cables in the sea, reaching for all neighbouring countries.
Instead we got people on this forum like yourself, who are against any change....
Abbotts has no visions at all, I personally think he is intelectually retarded, and Julia is not my cup of tea either.
So we either get Kevin back, or hope for a change within the Liberal Party and go for a less right winger Turnbull.
But maybe best, give Bob the thumb up, do it for your kids and your grandkids...
Enjoy your Sunday, mate

 

You have not addressed the eco-systems that your political agenda would destroy. So you are very prepared to destroy that very BUSHLAND that you consider as mitigation of your CO2 reductions.
Positive outlook when you are so prepared to destroy the eco-system to plaster the lands with energy producing industries. How about those nations destroying native forest to gain more farming land? You oppose that, don’t you? The Greens do, But you are prepared to destroy your own native lands to do what? LOL
Sounds to me you have not thought this through too much at all.

It would seem to me that I advocate change, You just want to follow everybody else while playing catch-up.

Who cares what you think, except maybe yourself.

lol, do it for my kids. Yeah, send them into a world where nut jobs such as Brown would have them living in destitute because he can not deal with the fact his policy works against his policy. LOL

 

whatever thoughts and ideas people come up with, garry17 knows it better, always better......
I have to admit, you are plain to good for me!

 

So, you have no answer then? I guess that is the best that can be expected from Greens who do not know the Issues they proclaim.

 

Garry, you just don't get it....

 

LOL, obviously you have not thought this policy through.

 

Australia’s vulnerability to current global economic threats highlights the madness of Labor’s plan to borrow another $10 billion to establish a ‘Bob Brown Bank’.

“To put this into perspective, $10 billion was the size of the first stimulus package which was brought down to combat the global financial crisis in 2008,” Shadow Minister for Finance and Debt Reduction Andrew Robb said.

“At a time of low confidence across our economy, if Labor abandoned its plan to establish the so-called Clean Energy Finance Corporation it would send a positive signal to households and businesses that it understands the importance of prudent economic management.

“This corporation will be merely a slush fund to appease Bob Brown and the Greens and it will see billions of borrowed dollars pumped into risky renewable energy projects that the conventional banks wouldn’t touch,” Mr Robb said.

The decision to set up the ‘Bob Brown Bank’ was made after the government lifted the Commonwealth debt ceiling to an unprecedented quarter of a trillion dollars – $250 billion.

“Government debt is extremely high by Australian standards and analysis shows that our growth in debt since Labor came to office in 2007 is third only behind Iceland and Ireland,” Mr Robb said.

“It simply defies logic that the Gillard government would be prepared to borrow $10 billion on top of its existing debt simply to keep the Greens happy.”

I suppose theyd call this bank the "Commiewealth Bank" !!

Bob Brown Bank. Hah! Classic.

Magoo, you ought to inform yourself and decipher past all the crap on the Liberal website to see they've actually revealed the reason for this:

That is, wouldn't touch with a barge pole. Banks are a PITA and Bobbie knows what that feels like. Key point it is though... without it the carbon tax is useless.

 

Dont overlook the title of this thread...

GREENS Leader Bob Brown has given Julia Gillard political licence to junk her plan to return the budget to surplus by 2012-13, warning that it could hurt small business and put jobs at risk.........
Yesterday, Senator Brown, whose party controls the balance of power in the Senate, said the Greens advocated "a budget balanced across the economic cycle". He said that this did not necessarily equate to a return to surplus in 2012-13. "Returning to a surplus in 2012-13 as a political tactic to fend off Tony Abbott would be folly if it put small businesses and jobs at risk," Senator Brown said in Launceston.............
Nationals leader Warren Truss said Mr Swan had spent Labor's inheritance and left nothing for a rainy day. "When Labor came to government just four years ago it had $40bn in the bank courtesy of sound Coalition economic management," Mr Truss said. "Today, with Labor debt running at $110bn, Australia is more vulnerable and exposed to global economic movements."

Mr Truss said that in current circumstances no responsible government would add "the dead weight" of Labor's planned carbon tax to the economy.

 

Juliar is now saying its an objective to have the budget in surplus...
Only days after Commie Bob suggested to her as above in previous post....
But then again we know that Juliar doesnt keep her promises, dont we....

 

The NBN is just another Labor failure.

The USA is going gangbusters with high-tech wireless technology, so what does Australia's Labor government do?

Spend over $30b on a hard wired optic fibre network.....HARD WIRED....

It beggars belief....

 

Are they? Haven´t seen it in the news

 

Great to see all the protesters in Canberra today...had to laugh at the
"ditch the witch" sign...good one...no sign of commie bob anywhere
on any of the signs....aaah well...maybe tomorrow....

 

One thing i love it the Fanta Pants herself admits misleading people, she even takes responsibility for it.

Yet the loops still come on here and say she didn't.

Tell me loops, do you feel alone?

 

Well............................................................no !!...............

 

No - I don't think anyone is claiming Gillard was not misleading. She was. She said she would put a price on carbon - but also that there would be no carbon tax. That was certainly misleading.

What I don't understand is why this is worse than John Howard lying about children overboard? Or lying about WMDs in Iraq and starting an illegal war. Surely those blatant lies were worse than whether a price on carbon is called a "tax" or not?

Perhps Julia only made a "non-core promise". I wonder where she learnt that trick....?

Non-core promise:
After winning the 1996 Australian Federal election John Howard slashed spending on Education, Health, Social Welfare blaming a budget deficit left by the previous government. When it was pointed out that he had promised not to cut spending on these areas as part of his election platform and that he had lied, he claimed that these were "non-core promises"

We all know about the Craig Thomson debacle....I wonder if there
was a bi election in Dobell would this be the beginning of the end for the
Labour/Greens Government....Mickey Mouse would win Dobell against
Labour....what a joke.....if Juliar Gillard had any honour or credibality, she
would admit that her government is a shambles, and is really only a front
for the Greens policies.....and call an election....no...she stays in power
in a hung Parliament...if thats not an ego trip of the highest degree,
then Im not Quincey Magoo......

 

Come on, isnt that why nurses pay union fees, so their union officials can visit hookers and finance their next career moves.

 

If you look at this closer...the real crux of the matter is that Thomson
lied to the Parliament...its not just visiting hookers...

 

And if the Libs won a by-election in Dobell - what then?

Abbott would have to deal with independents to form government in a hung Parliament - as you say "an ego trip". Why is that better? They could not govern without the support of the Senate. At least the current arrangement is passing legislation.

Another election would only see more Greens in the Senate and even less chance of Liberals being able to govern. Until the Liberals ditch the tea-party wannabes and the deniers and the nutjobs, and go back to being an actual "Liberal" party again.

 

Who hasn't got drunk and splashed out on hookers on there employers credit card. Happens all the time. Just a bit of harmless fun. At least he is not up on criminal charges like a Liberal senator is.

 

You dont know a lot do you??
If the Coalition formed Government, then all they have to do is present legislation to the Parliament, vote against their own legislation, bring it back in 55 days and vote against it again...this would cause a double dissolution, and therefore an election for both Houses....end of Labour...end of Greens...

 

Is there a name for that funny planet you live on???????????????
The next election will see LESS greens!

 

and what happens then?

The Liberal Party implements its policy of EXACLY the same emission reductions as Labor using tax payers money to fund it - EXACTLY the same as the government (but a lot more expensive)

What do all the whinging pensioners do then? Get 2GB to bus them all back to Canberra again for another "new election" protest?





Oh...and BTW - your idea of what a double dissolution is is completely wrong. I don't expect that matters to you though. But is is hilarious that you think the current government somehow has no "credibility" - but you suggest that
all an alternate government must do is "all they have to do is present legislation to the Parliament, vote against their own legislation"!?!?!

Grow up.
