Julia Gillard is probably the most cynical and deceptive politician ever to lead this nation. A few weeks ago, before the election, her mantra was, "There will be no carbon tax." Within days of getting the nod from the so-called independents it was "We will be looking at a carbon tax." ...
Now she has announced a committee for which the pre-requisite for joining is that you accept the religious belief of climate change:Ms Gillard extended the invitation to the Coalition to join the committee with the caveat that they must agree climate change is real and that a carbon price is needed.
The advisers to the committee also share the religious orthodoxy, and not an independent scientist among them. The "scientist" on the advisory panel is Will Steffen who heads up a Climate Change institute linked to ANU, so he earns his living from scaring people about climate change.
A great scenario for developing rational policy.
