The government will “very shortly announce detailed plans on many issues including a climate change policy that balances our obligation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions with the need to keep our economy growing,” the Prime Minister said in a YouTube message released yesterday.
What might this involve?
Crikey understands that his Environment Minister, Malcolm Turnbull says signing Kyoto would be “worth three per cent” for the Coalition vote.
Crikey understands Turnbull says Australia is very close to meeting its Kyoto targets anyway.
But Crikey also understands that Turnbull says “that f—king c—t” (his description of his boss, John Howard) won’t ink the treaty for fear of offending President Bush.
Labor needs a uniform swing of 4.8% to win office. It needs to pick up 16 seats without losing any of the electorates it currently holds. That’s a formidable barrier, even on the current polling.
Anything that offers any government a three per cent poll boost any time normally gets leapt upon.
Will “that f—king c—t” sign Kyoto?
don’t remember any howard government pandering to this leso, and i don’t mind a bit of f–king vulgarity cause believe it or not tony christian is just keeping up with the times in using the current intensifiers.
Libs pandering to the left? Are you insane? Continuous harping at the ABC for alleged bias, refusing to apologise for Australia’s appalling record of mistreatment of Aborigines, failing to sign Kyoto, failing Hicks for 5 years, barbed wire, etc etc etc
Er, C-ts are useful.
Howard is a f-king useless c-t.
Thanks Malcolm. Hope you enjoy your last weeks as the member for Wentworth.
Why report such vulgarity? Is it the left’s fear that Rudd remains shallow and unconvincing? Turnbull should consider if Liberal decline is due to its pandering to the left – greenies, global warming, Hicks, refugees, gays, Muslims, Aboriginals, femmos.
Howard is capable of any backflip known to human kind if it means winning. Why not this one? At least we know what Turnbull thinks of his Glorious Leader whose obduracy is going to hand him the dubious honour of being a oncer and deny him the PM job!
