Liberal Party News: “Betraying party members and Australians is fun”
Thursday, September 25, 2008
It might as well be a Liberal Party News headline.
The carbon tax on car emissions alluded to in, Liberal Party News: Liberal Party sells out Australians (24/9/08), is diktat to car manufacturers. They are to rebuild cars to capricious dictated Co2 emissions levels.This has been imposed on makers in Europe. It is strangling them. It is a capital destroying Co2 tax. This is not all, the Liberal Opposition is an enthusiastic supporter of another capital destroying C02 tax called:
OFFSHORE PETROLEUM AMENDMENT (GREENHOUSE GAS STORAGE) BILL 2008
And cognate bills. As their speeches disclose to each of the above C02 taxes, they are totally deaf, dumb and blind as to what they are.
Ian Macfarlane is somewhat clear on what ‘cap and trade’ will do to coal based energy firms -
“thousands upon thousands of workers in Australia will simply lose their jobs. They will lose their jobs because the coal industry will not have a future under that government’s flawed carbon trading legislation.”
He is still, though, in a muddle. Has it occurred to him that whatever an ‘unflawed’ plot might be, it will still wipe out energy firms? Funnily enough, it is what Turnbull declared recently:
Macfarlane has swallowed the Green’s lie:
“Greenhouse gas emissions is probably one of the most complex areas that the government and opposition are going to have to deal with… There are a whole range of reasons why that should happen, but the single biggest reason is that we must lower greenhouse gas emissions….
“There are those who are opposed to this legislation per se. It is going to be an interesting time in the Senate for the minister responsible for this legislation, as the Greens oppose this legislation out of hand. They are making wildly erroneous and inflammatory claims that CO2 cannot be stored safely underground….Companies that are operating brown coal power stations in the Latrobe Valley will seek the opportunity to store gas in that area.”
His objection is the Rudd plan is flawed, but if it is the right plan, it is ok:
“We need to get this right, and we pledge our support to a consultative process.”
Why didn’t Macfarlane pledge to the Liberal Party and decent modest Australian to eviscerate the Rudd Cabinet and, at that, also the watermelon reds in the Coalition, including Turnbull? Instead, he see nothing wrong with capital destroying taxes, so long as they are the right ones.
What could possibly be the right way? Oh, I know, when it’s a Coalition Cabinet destroying Australians through Co2 taxation. Ian Macfarlane is Shadow Minister for Energy and Resources and leads the Liberal Party position on the above carbon taxes. Another totally incompetent Shadow minister.
Complementing the bogus economics is the bogus science of:
Co2 emissions causes climate change.
So-called climate modelling eliminates physics, and this is what the IPCC models and those of other boosters do. Not even brief weather can be modelled. Models are bought from toy shops or the skilled can make their own model planes, ships and trains from scratch and insert model working engines in them. So, in contrast to the boosters of voodoo this as an example, a reading list on Solar Influence that includes -
“Bond, Gerard, Bernd Kromer, Juerg Beer, Raimund Muscheler,
Michael N. Evans, William Showers, Sharon Hoffmann, Rusty Lotti-Bond, Irka Hajdas, Georges Bonani, 2001, Persistent Solar Influence on North Atlantic Climate During the Holocene: Science, Vol. 294, Issue 5549, 2130-2136, December 7, 2001 (Originally published in Science Express as 10.1126/science.1065680 on November 15, 2001)
“Demonstrates 18,000 years of complete solar control of climate fluctuations as measured by ice advances and retreats in northern hemisphere. Supplemental data on Internet version provides graph of solar variability for 20th Century. Data based on Carbon 14 and Beryllium 10 isotopes and ice rafting events.”
(cf. a Warwick Hughes site here, and frontpage here.)
It’s a funny coincidence but as Louis Hissink wrote:
“…coal and oil… if these two substances are actually continually being formed at the lower crust and continually depositing hydrocarbons or collecting in… in the sedimentary basins, then the concept of Geosequestration of CO2 becomes one of the more loonier ideas contemplated by the Climate Changers
“The earth with its deep hot biosphere is continuously exuding CO2 and Methane, amongst many more carbon based liquids and gases, and which often erupt to the surface with explosive consequences as the general buildup of subterranean pressures is released, and now we have this ill-conceived idea of forcing CO2 back into the ground.
“…. geosequestration is much like grabbing the exhaust gases of an automobile and then pumping them back up its exhaust pipe in the hope that overall the CO2 production from its exhaust is stabilised. The gases are not going to stay there because over time the slow buildup from the mantle will release the sequestered CO2 back into the atmosphere. Rather violently one suspects.”
Then there is the elementary scientific point, Co2 is not a poison. It’s the essential ingredient for all plants, animals and man to exist. Oh, and carbon in its gas phase (Co2) is a miniscule trace the atmosphere that cannot form as the crazies claim, an earth heating blanket. Neither doe carbon molecules remain in the atmosphere. It dissolves in water right from the gas phhse of water, and is washed to earth to do the tremendous work carbon does.
What is to be made of Liberal Party MsP:
- Who cannot spot the above fraudulent Bills for what they are, capital destroying carbon taxes, because they are illiterate in economics;
-Who cannot eviscerate the Greens’ lie because they have no science and are too lazy to call it up over the internet by the equivalent of truckloads;
-Who then compound all this stupidity by supporting a loony idea that destroys capital and is a ‘cave-in’ to the Nazi Green Party and Rudd and his band of demented fascists?!
The same questions can be asked of their advisers, as vividly demonstrated by Julie Bishop’s advisers this week. Adding to the stench is that they are all kept by the taxpayer and they don’t do a ruddy thing.
They are paid to advance genuine Liberal principles. They are paid to fight for genuine Liberal principles. They are paid to eviscerate the likes of Rudd, Wong, Milne, and Brown with meat cleavers. What do Australians get for their money? A pack of spineless cowards who run up the white flag each time the bastards they are supposed to shoot open their fat mouths. No, this is a mistake.
They don’t run up the white flag all the time. They join the watermelon red cheer squad for some rotten Bills (as in rather a lot in addition to what they put through when in Office). Their test is, they must be rammed down on Australians ‘the right way’.
Destruction through carbon taxation is what Tony Blair and Gordon Brown have imposed on the British. It is destroying energy firms, and other companies are following. The British are watching their incomes burned, their jobs vaporise, their savings wiped out, and the ‘brains in the Liberal Party’ are pleased to inflict the same punishment on Australians.
The commentariat
The supine in the Liberal Party are entrenched in their aversion to even a semblance of intellectual curiosity by the media.
It’s a habit of mine to engage the man in the street, to find out their concerns, and what they make of things. Then, if it arises, accordingly inject a few points such as the impact of Co2 taxation. The most frequent response is:
“But this is never raised and debated in public… Why isn’t it?”
The answer is, not only the hard Left, but the ostrich “Right” suppress debate, suppress free speech. Debate is anathema to them; this is why Professor Sinclair Davison ran away after Jackson’s demolition of his IPA paper on manufacturing (I mean to say, Davidson hasn’t even addressed: the reverse of the J curve must be true - which Jackson showed in his article).
Who is there?
Janet Albrechtson, who called for a Right wing take-over of Australia, and helped destroy the fight for free markets.
Andrew Bolt, who has botched things rather badly, from labour markets to C02 taxes. This is plain wrong:
“Let’s focus instead on this: can Rudd’s plan work? Will his emissions trading scheme slash our gases by anything close to what he wants?
There are two reasons to say that it hasn’t the slightest hope. That all Rudd will do is raise green taxes, not cut greenhouse gases.”
Bolt doesn’t see that Rudd will cut gases by destroying capital. Bolt speaks of costs, and rising prices of energy to consumers and doesn’t hit the target, which is, the real cost is the destruction of production. The rest of it, as bad as it is here, Carbon pain is priceless.
He doesn’t have a clue as to what to attack, and is not armed to attack, and he refuses to bring in those who can help him. He wings it and thus sticks another knife into the back of a fight that must be won. Making Bolt’s efforts sillier is his advocacy of the C02 tax called ethanol production.
Ethanol production is itself heavily subsidised. This alone shows it is not economic and capital is thus being consumed. The diseconomies of ethanol are worse than this. It is destroying food production. To make it even better, Parliament put through legislation to force transfer of land into forests, to be preserved for a century (!) as carbon sinks - another Co2 tax. Bolt has never defended what he supports and has never apologised for it.
The whining “Right” bang on about the nasty Leftists dominating the media, the lies they tell and their efforts at censorship. What about these great heroic Rightwing journalists, and for that matter those who are also supposed to be economic commentators? Nothing, zip, but for a constant flow of stuff ups passed as tough journalism.
The problem with this lot is: they are so incompetent and extremely feeble with it that they do not stir Liberal MsP and their advisers. There is nothing to force them to reach for the panic phone and demand they be introduced to sources who can advise them. Nothing to stir them into a bit of effort; and into a bit of fight. Nothing. The diseased Left observe this and are pleased.
The anti-Free Market Clunker Tanks
The IPA’srecord of advice is how Cabinets can strangle firms to death the right way. This sums up their performance on Co2 taxes.
Centre for Independent Studies has achieved the same. Then found itself an even jollier roll, telling stupid MsP how to wipe out Australians ‘the right way’ through Co2 taxes. (It is yet to explain it’s lobbying activities, and its conflicts of interests).
Now, while having noted Bolt’s limp attacks on Leftists over the Greens’ lies and Co2 taxes, he his strangely silent on the CIS‘ thuggery and treachery. Why, Bolt? Let’s reel off some considerations:
Michael Kroger and Peter Costell
HR Nicholls Society.
His lips are zipped tight with super bond glue, as a recent item by this brave reporter shows. In it, he enthusiastically slams Rudd, using a statement by Garnaut that leaves Rudd hanging. He did not go for the CIS’sjugular over Co2 taxes.
Again, he failed to hit what is wrong, including Garnaut’s economic modelling, which as of physics models nothing. He needs to start reading Brookesnews. Shostak swiflty disposed of economic modelling in an article on Brookesnews. Jackson neatly demolished Co2 taxation for what it is and the CIS’s false claims with it. Yet, Bolt would rather cripple a fight that must be won against dangerous measures than do that.
Bolt is in with them. He’s one of them. He’s fed his lines by them. He covers them. Ditto the CIS. For some odd reason the words gutless, unprincipled and stone dead idle occur. So, in case they mean anything, they are trotted out. Murdoch must be a charity bin. After all, Murdoch, $3,000 a week is a lot of charity to apply to a spineless ‘wait for the telephone to ring sitter’.
Tim Blair, covers the covers. They all belong to a closed group. Tim Blair sees nothing wrong with the ‘Rightwing’ duds. He sees nothing wrong with Bolt covering for duds. He sees nothing wrong with the Right’s failure to promote talent, and their suppression of talent. He sees nothing wrong with the Right blacklisting of talent. Indeed, this is why Blair was so happy to see Jackson blacklisted, he cheered for it.
These highly paid bastards, Blair, Bolt and Albrechtsen are reinforcing the slobs in Parliament and their inbred family members pretending to be advisers. These three mean that Parliamentary seat warmers remain secure in their cretinism. These jokers are doing their bit to destroy not only the Liberal Party, but bloody Australians with it. This is how hot these three bozos are. Again, the hard Left see this and are well pleased with these three clowns.
All up
Why is Rudd and his pack of sponging little dictators in Office. It’s rhetorical question only for:
Rudd and co would not be in office if it were not for the sodding bungling “Right”. We wouldn’t face being wiped out by Co2 taxes, central planning and all locked together by coercion, if it were not for a pack of cripples, who daily manage to crawl out of bed each morning only to piss on the toes of genuine Liberals and modest Australians, and then crawl off for a good all day snooze in comfy chairs.
