Australia carbon emissions law hit by opposition revolt

****************************************

And was just looking at the Aussie website that has much good stuff:

Australia still hangs in the carbon trading twilight zone

********************************EXCERPT**********************************************

The Australian situation tonight: Today the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) decision was successfully delayed by questions until Monday. That’s good news, but there’s no Champers popping yet. The longer we wait, the longer the real story of the fraud has to filter through to our representatives, but this is a race to overcome two decades of propaganda in one weekend.

This week will be written up in history books. Late yesterday a parliamentary mutiny occurred as opposition cabinet members abandoned their leader. Three on Monday: Mitch Fifield, Brett Mason and Mathias Cormann. Then Thursday: six more, and on Friday Concetta Fierravanti-Wells all quit their appointed shadow positions. Senate offices are apparently being swamped with emails. The message it seems, is getting through. (Thanks to all of you who have sent emails, I been copied in on many, please keep them coming :-) ).

Senator Fierravanti-Wells had been expected to back the ETS laws but has now indicated she will vote against the bill.

‘I acknowledge the avalanche of correspondence and feedback conveyed to me from a wide cross-section of the community, most especially after the decision of the joint party room to amend and support the legislation,’ she said.

Senator Fierravanti-Wells, who is facing a Senate preselection ballot on December 12, indicated she was heeding the view of the NSW Liberal base of the party, which was strongly against the ETS decision.

‘In all my years of involvement in the party, I have never seen such an extraordinary reaction,’ she said. [link]

The left leaning Labor Government needs just 7 votes to get the Legislation through the Senate.

The left leaning Labor Government needs just 7 votes to get the Legislation through the Senate. The Leader of the Opposition – Malcolm Turnbull, appears determined to deliver those votes, no matter what his party say or what scandalous information  is exposed.  On Tuesday, he survived a leadership spill, then listened as more than half the members of his own party spoke against the ETS. Through accounting tricks that the East Anglia CRU would be proud of, he announced the opposition supported the ETS. Despite the arrogant bullying, on that day, it looked to Reuters like the Australian ETS was a done-deal, but the anger and fury within the conservatives was ignited. Turnbull staked his leadership on the line in October, and it’s now almost guaranteed that he will lose that role.

Let us hope our bros down in the far south English speaking countries put up such a howl against this criminal offense it will bring more in Europe, USA, South American, and Canada, Russian, China, Japan to follow suit.
Now is time for each nation to join together and throw off this yoke of AGW bad science once and for all.
Face the facts squarely. Do go after those things that are legit, such as real known air pollutions that do harm humans as well as animal life. But in a responsible way that does not break the piggy banks of nations.
Now is the time perhaps as never before a entry level common goal could set back the one world elitist from having their way any time soon. End goal, subjugation of the world's populations. IMHO this later, is as evil as the world of Islamic Jihadist hell bent on cutting off the heads of the infidels. The carefully craft how they can control nations and extract wealth and control how they want things to proceed, wars, peace, industrial growth, otherwise.
