GOODBYE carbon tax, hello yet another round of reform for our financial system.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott finally, finally, got Clive and his PUPpets to back the axing of the stupidest and most pointlessly destructive tax in Australia’s history.
Only for Opposition Leader Bill Shorten to immediately announce his total unfitness to ever be PM, by promising there would be a carbon tax (in the form of an emissions trading scheme) under a government it would be the country’s misfortune for him to ever lead.
The PM made three big promises at the election. Axing the tax, stopping the boats and fixing the deficits. He’s now delivered on two of them, and it’s only the “unrepresentative swill” in the Senate — in former Labor PM Paul Keating’s pungent words — that’s stopping him on the third.
Well, actually Shorten is also playing his part and making an impressive play to claim the title of stupidest Opposition Leader in our history. Faced with the chance of having Gillard’s carbon tax yoke removed from around his neck, thanks to the PM, he’s instead put it straight back on.
And faced with the chance of having this PM take all the tough, vote-costing decisions, enabling a Shorten-led Opposition both to almost amble into office at the next election and inherit a budget in the black — just like Kevin Rudd did in 2007 ——Shorten’s said “no thanks”.
The only reason the Greens and Clive’s PUPpets have any power to stop the Budget is because Shorten’s Opposition won’t take the responsible path of letting the Abbott Government fix the mess created by the Rudd and Gillard governments of which Shorten was a prominent member.

Wonder who the ALP will trot out for the next election after they axe Bill?
I dont see the need for pedantic perseverance but hey, 
some feel the need whilst others just see the funny side and move on.
