Maybe Gillard ought to stick to education
Julia Gillard on Channel 9 Today. Laurie Oakes’ interview with Julia Gillard on Channel Nine’s Today show this morning was a classic.
Laurie suggested that the public’s Global Warming/Climate Change support was dwindling. Julia responded with the Labor Party’s mantra of decreasing and containing carbon dioxide. She also criticised Abbott’s plan for restricting the production of CO2.
Abbott himself reveals that he is not the brightest pebble on the beach, but he is trying to make a start at reflecting the fast changing public opinion on the climate change issue.
Even some somnambulant journalists and politicians are waking up to the fact that even if the entire population of all nations tried, they could not have an iota of influence on the climate.
If elected, Abbott will do little or nothing about the climate, except to go through the usual costly bureaucratic and political motions for publicity reasons.
Even Julia laughed when Laurie suggested that the Prime Minister would win a black belt for boredom over the issue.
Good advice to Julia would be to stick to education, which is making her popular and will ensure her succession to Rudd when the Labor party revolts against the the idiocy of his response to changing climate conditions.
