Via the GWPF and Dr. Benny Peiser – here is a summary of articles discussing the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) future in Australian politics. ETS looks “deader ‘n a doornail” right now.
This graph (courtesy of David Archibald) may help you gauge the impact of the proposed ETS in Australia:
Anti-Green Putsch Down Under: Climate Change Delayers Topple Rudd
Julia Gillard has made no concrete commitment on when to put a price on carbon emissions, despite former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd urging his party to try passing an emissions trading scheme after the election. —Tom Arup, The Age 24 June 2010
In the inner sanctum, Julia Gillard had urged that the Rudd government not honour its election commitment for an emissions trading scheme unless the opposition’s Tony Abbott agreed to one. The deputy prime minister argued strongly with her cabinet colleagues that the government should dump the scheme “because it’s hurting us too much” politically, according to cabinet members. Mr Rudd and the Finance Minister, Lindsay Tanner, opposed her inside the so-called Gang of Four ministers which in effect ran the government. –Peter Hartcher, The Sydney Morning Herald, 26 June 2010
He could not have realised it at the time, but Kevin Rudd presaged the misstep that would ultimately trigger his downfall at a hastily convened news conference well after midnight on the final day of the politically disastrous Copenhagen climate conference. — Adam Morton The Age, 26 June 2010
On Monday green campaigners hit the halls of Parliament House with an air of optimism. Kevin Rudd was opening a window on climate change and they had arrived to ”consult”. Most had been invited into the government’s tent. Instead, drama descended on Parliament House on Wednesday night. A coup was on and Rudd looked finished. Was Bourne and the environment movement watching the window slam shut? —The Sydney Morning Herald. 26 June 2010

Of course, my presence in Australia doing a tour presenting factual skeptical arguments on global warming during all of this drama is completely coincidental – Anthony

spill
v.t.
1 a archaic : kill, destroy b : to cause (blood) to be lost by wounding
True, and from within PM Rudd’s own party
2 : to let out : divulge
True, the secret is out, AGW policies make no sense to Australians
3 : to relieve (a sail) from the pressure of the wind
True, if the labor party face losses in the next election with Rudd, putting in a new face relieves some pressure
4 : to throw off or out
Or is that really him with a red wig
So that is a “spill.” It’s just that I am not familiar enough with Australian politics to understand or appreciate any real gain to the voters.
« Gillard: how to lie and stab your way to the topGillard’s ‘sustainable population’ idea = more abortion
June 27th, 2010
A population control pressure group has issued a call for the Australian government to institute a one-child policy to ensure the continent’s environmental and economic “sustainability.” Sustainable Population Australia (SPA) said this week that Australia’s 22 million people must be reduced to 7 million and that restricting each couple to one baby, as China does, is “one way of assisting to reduce the population” and avoiding “environmental suicide.”

And now its coming out whats its all about.
I am surprised. I predicted KRudd747 would be but a one term wonder, but who’d a thought he’d be less than a one term wonder? Gillard is a dangerous person, and I feel Australia will suffer greatly. Gillard was one of the party backstabbers which helped end the ETS as it was.
On another matter, the big chill downunder. Sydney had it’s coldest June morning in 27 years.
More bad news for alarmists.
Until Russia, India and China are willing to change their ways, no binding global carbon tax is meaningful. Thanks goodness the politicians in some realise that introducing an unfair tax will cripple their economies. The tide is finally turning on the global CAGW climate change scam – heads must roll…
I think it is clear that Anthony needs to have a fully funded tour of the entire world. Do it for the children…. and the polar bears…
Wonder what would happen if Anthony attended a speech by Al Gore? The implosion on stage would be an awesome sight 😉
Sydney just had it’s coldest June morning in more than 60 years.

Are you paying attention Gillard?
