Amazing !!!!
Poddster , as Ian Robinson reported
Although in general it is not commendable to break commitments, it is not even clear that this is what has happened.
The Prime Minister's commitment not to introduce a tax on carbon was implicitly premised on her being in a position to keep the commitment, by leading a majority government after the election.
This didn't happen, so her pre-election commitment was effectively null and void.
Instead, she found herself in a minority government in which she was not in total control of all the outcomes. She therefore had to work out a compromise with the other stakeholders.
Abbott is reported as saying during the post-election negotiations that he would ''do anything'' to be prime minister. This implies that he, too, would have accepted a carbon tax as part of a minority government compromise.
Perhaps in hindsight the Prime Minister could have made the limitation to her commitment clearer by saying there would be no carbon tax under ''a majority government led by me''.
Mein Kampf? Really? Is that where you got your idea about our PM being a dictator?
Nazi analogies don't usually receive positive reactions and should not be tolerated, to say the least.
I added this for other reasons (the part I put in the post)...however did you read all the article. ?
and have you not noticed our media portraying our leaders and conroy as dictators in recent years ...republished here ?
No I didn't need this for any of my own or others opinions .Similar opinions are are being expressed elsewhere.
