    Show us the poll that shows us that the public think the libs direct action plan is the better way to go than a market-based mechanism.

    Could you do that please?

    Or did you just make that up?

    Heard it on the radio the other day while driving, was on abc i am sure.
    The general gist of the story was that the libs are ahead of the gov in polls on all major policies including climate change.

    So no - you cannot show us any poll that shows us that the public think the libs direct action plan is the better way to go than a market-based mechanism.

    It sounds like you heard something that you didn't fully understand, and you decided to make something up to fit with what Alan Jones tells you.



    Why are spouting Liberal propaganda that you don't even believe in?

    You deny there is even a problem. Why do you want to spend taxpayers money on something you don't think exists?

    While i myself DONT think there is a problem i am happy enough to go along with a climate policy that has been voted in by a majority. The labor carbon tax has NOT been taken to the people nor do the majority support it.

    That would be the one taken by both parties to the 2007 election.

    The one that the unelected Tony Abbott blocked

    Labor went to the 2010 election with a policy to price carbon. They won government in that election and that is what they are doing.

    Get over it. Stop whinging.

    And stop lying to the forum. You are not happy enough to go along with a climate policy that has been voted in by a majority. The majority voted in a minority Labor Government with Greens and Independents who agreed that carbon pricing should be implemented. And that is what is happening

    You deny there is even a problem. You listen to Alan Jones and spout Liberal propaganda - even though the Liberals don't even agree with your denialism.

    How sad and pathetic is that?

    BTW - are you ever going to tell us why you think taxing everyone and paying polluters a better idea than a market based mechanism to make polluters pay? Or shall we just accept that that was you spouting stuff you neither believe nor understand?

    Do you have anything else to add tonight? Or will you need to wait until tomorrow's Jonesy show to get more material?
