Yes, The Gillard government has today single handedly stopped climate change in its tracks!

The climate change problem is fixed! The planet is saved!

Believe in taking action to prevent the greatest moral challenge of our time.

Re: Carbon tax legislation passes lower house

It's literally going to do nothing to solve the greatest moral challenge of our time. It is built on a lie, it involves a ridiculously high level of sacrifice which is disproportionate to what is being charged in other parts of the world and more importantly voters oppose it. If she wants to carry on like an incompetent twat, she at least needs to allow a plebiscite

Ridiculously high sacrifice? Come on it's got so many exemptions and subsidies built in it won't hurt a fly. Furthermore we are 16th in the world in our number of emmisions and 11th by capita, the idea that we aren't a significant emitter and that we don't need to take a leadership role in the reduction of carbon emissions is delusory and that is why both major parties are committed to a 5% cut in emissions by 2020 and why we are implementing a mechanism which will do just that.

No government has worked harder than ours to try and bring about a global agreement.
