OPPOSITION Leader Tony Abbott will go to a double dissolution if necessary to repeal the carbon tax if the Coalition is elected to Government.Wow, what a leader. What a tough guy. He'll get it all happening. bla......
On a visit to Tasmania yesterday Mr Abbott said that he would use all constitutional options to scrap the carbon tax if the Senate proved "recalcitrant" and blocked repeal legislation.
"We will do whatever we need to do to scrap the carbon tax including use constitutional options open to us, but I don't believe for a second a Labor Party which loses an election which is a referendum on the carbon tax would persist in supporting this toxic tax." more
Well if there was ever any cause for frustration by the Abbott gov over senate "recalcitrance", it is now. It's nearly a year since Abbott was elected, and the carbon tax and other green things remain in place. The senate has knocked back twice the repeal of one of the major platforms of the carbon tax, which currently still exists bringing in gov revenue.
Now, given what Abbott the tough guy said just 3 days before being elected PM, what would the logical person think that his next action would be over this recalcitrant senate? Why to call an election of course! Get this pesky bloody senate out of the way and on with the show! ............. *crickets* ..........
And then........ Hockey enters the fray.........
I'm not sure what the fuck he's trying to accomplish by entering the fray, other than confirm for the umpteenth time that he's a fuckwit who should never have entered politics let alone become the treasurer of fuckin Australia.
So what is his response to this recalcitrant senate? Or Abbott's? Call an election? No. He has a dummy spit and declares he'll introduce the bill again next week. Nah nah nah. Why? So you can be even more frustrated and it's even more obvious you're too chicken shit to call an election?
But Treasurer Joe Hockey has instead lashed out at Labor and the Greens for ''defying'' the judgment made by voters at the last election and said the government would introduce the repeal bill for a third time next week.
Greens Senator Scott Ludlam threw down the challenge in the Senate on Wednesday, calling on Prime Minister Tony Abbott to call an early election on climate change policy. ''Prime Minister Abbott if you really believe that this is absolute crap and that the Clean Energy Act is going to wipe Whyalla off the map, how’s that working out?'' he said. ''If you really believe that renewable energy can't deliver, then here is the double dissolution election trigger you’ve been waiting for. Read more
