Julia's Reign

A reminder of the kernel of Gina's media ambitions.

I love how Monckton just assumes that a free market/conservative news channel would automatically be a base for his favorite topic, bashing climate science. There is no reason someone who believes in free market principles needs to reject claims about about the physics of an atmosphere. What does Andrew Bolt offer when it comes to free market economic insights? Fark all, all he would offer is the obfuscation of science.

It shows what's really behind his (Monckton's) circus of science misrepresentation. He literally doesn't see a difference between science and politics.

But it would be. The connection is that the environment is opposed to deregulation. Those who want to change capitalism's relationship with the environment need regulation. Those who think business is more important than the enviroment, want deregulation. Capitalism doesn't want to pay for all the things it uses. It would prefer someone else (usually, the future) pays for them, so that we can all be rich today.

But, as you say, it's all ideology, zero science.

This capitalism person you are talking about sounds really bad.

 

[Cutter]

Those that know him say he's selfish.

Not well liked by trapeze artists (ie. those who use safety nets).

 

[Scotty]

That is the best model in my view - free markets with safety nets

You would think that his enemy, communist would be far from selfish, but talk to a Vietnamese person and you will find otherwise!

 

[Scarfman]

Well, we can use the name Gaia for the biosphere, what do we call the econosphere?

 

[Lindommer]

Gimme.

things aren't getting better for Jule's or Rudd

All Qld Labor MPs could go: Newspoll

All of Queensland's federal Labor MPs, including Kevin Rudd and Treasurer Wayne Swan, would be tossed out if an election were held now, according to the latest Newspoll state-by-state analysis.
The Australian said that if Labor was hoping the defeat of Anna Bligh's Queensland government in March would quell some of the anger against Julia Gillard's federal government then they had better think again.
The paper said that in the three months since Ms Bligh was voted out, support for federal Labor had plunged to a record low and coalition support jumped to 54 per cent of the primary vote.
According to the new analysis, Labor's primary vote in Queensland is down to just 22 per cent.
Based on preference flows at the 2010 election, the coalition heads Labor in Queensland by a staggering 65 per cent to 35 per cent on a two-party preferred basis.


At the 2010 election, federal Labor won 44.9 per cent of the vote in Queensland on second preferences.
The paper says the results mean federal Labor MPs in Queensland are facing a swing against them of 10 per cent, which would unseat every Labor MP (Moana Pasifika) in the state, including Mr Swan, Mr Rudd and Trade Minister Craig Emerson.
This would hand the coalition an election win by itself even if Labor managed to hang on to every other seat it has in Australia.
But the paper said the swing against Labor in NSW revealed there would also be a bloodbath, with 14 Labor MPs, including three ministers, in danger of being swept out of office.
The Newspoll statistics show that Labor's primary result in NSW has dropped from 31 per cent to 29 per cent with the coalition's rising from 45 per cent to 47 per cent, for a two-party preferred lead of 56 per cent to 44 per cent.

It won't change our lives anymore than the rest of the middle class taxation or reduction in benefits that Labor have brought in. It also won't change the environment though.

But the world is definitely not ending like Tony Abbott or Alan Jones would have me believe?!?!

 

[Scotty]

I thought the world was only going to end if we didn't react to the biggest moral issue of our time?

I am very confused.

Does anyone give a flying fuck what the Parrot thinks/says/does? If anyone here says "yes", give yourself an uppercut.

 

[Scotty]

Which one is the parrot?

While I don't, Tony Abott is the preferred PM (I think the polls still say that don't they) and Alan Jones has a huge radio audience who hang on his every word.

So does Kyle Sandliands. Hard to know what that proves.
