Question Time offers no reprieve, confirming your claim about the carbon tax, with each government portfolio appearing to be simply an adjunct to the ministry for repeal of the carbon tax. There are no plans but to reflect on how bad their predecessors were. The Prime Minister responds to most questions with his rehearsed mantra of 'we will deliver on our promises', whichever ones they are.<br /><br />While in question time Minister Turnbull's antics look silly, Barnaby Joyce appears on the brink of a paroxysm, and Jamie Briggs has the flimsiest of grips on anything, the booby prize goes to Bruce Billson. His continual motion from side to side like one of those laughing sideshow clowns, makes it difficult to focus on what he says (maybe that is the aim).<br /><br />In the Hansard, the Minister for Small Business makes even less sense, since his gesticulations are not recorded:<br /><br />“Mr BILLSON: We are just having this discussion and if I could characterise in the same way the Treasurer did, a tax that raises that much, but spends that much, leaves this much in between that is not funded. ” <br />(Hansard, QWN, 20/11/2013)<br /><br />How much?<br /><br />Still, what can one expect from a politician who, in a local publication in Frankston, had a photo of himself ripping open his business shirt to reveal a t-shirt saying 'I love the Pines' (an area in North Frankston). Such behaviour is “twee”.<br /><br />With Minister Billson and his “licensed team” driving the wrong way down the political highway in an attempt to run down the carbon price, while tooting their horns and shouting “get out of our way” at drivers who at least have an idea about where they are going, what else can their backers do but stand with their hands over their eyes or run for the the exit ramps before the inevitable multi-car pile-up occurs? <br />VoterBentleighnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22534369.post-59510213554078068522013-12-12T00:11:16.085+11:002013-12-12T00:11:16.085+11:00All hail the new breed in the a.l.p

Howard did it with the Family Court saying it was bias towards mothers. The judiciary had to justify the few positive orders that favoured mum. Like the ABC it is bullshit but it works every time. Before the election every news piece was preceded by "according to Mr. Abbott". Imagine them doing that to Mr. Shorten.

Put it down as a total win.<br /><br />I was heartened too to read your comments about the ABC. I have always been pretty certain that the Nats would revolt and now you have confirmed that.<br /><br />I have just watched the Leader's latest update-by-video. Blue tie. Slicked down hair. Two fluttering flags. Amazingly he claimed the govt had saved the car industry justifying that statement by conflating it with the repeal of the carbon tax.<br /><br />Is there anyone left who is not feeling uneasy about having Chauncey Gardener as PM.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22534369.post-8762349611149464042013-12-09T00:54:54.223+11:002013-12-09T00:54:54.223+11:00Hypocricy reigns with this government
