Sen. Sue Boyce and Sen. Judith Troeth mourning the loss of a tree?

object width="425" height="344">


And that's The Northern Truth

Sue Boyce is politcally dead as a Dodo? Or soon will be!

I guess your smile is after speaking with your close Mate Penny Wong?

In Queensland Sen. Sue Boyce has voted with Labor for the ETS in defiance of Party instructions and should be removed by the Queensland Liberal Party at the next pre-selection! Ms. Boyce is a traitor to the Liberal Party and must resign from the Senate at once! Sue you have a real hide voting against the people of Australia and Queensland. Suggest you stay in bed with your Socialist Mates in the Labor Party!

I will personally make it my life's work that you are never pre-selected again as a Queensland Senator!

You disgust me!

And that's The Northern Truth!!

The end of Krudd is even nearer, thank you Tony Abbott!

Well apparently Tony Abbott has shaken up the Liberal Party from its post 2007 election coma and has revived the outlook for the Lib's in the coming election! He finally enunciated that the Liberal Party would no longer supply oxygen and sustenance to this joke of a Socialist Labor Government! We now have a coherent opposition that will stand-up against the socialist and are ready to bury the government's $120 Billion Emission Taxation Scam!

Malcolm and Froggy it seems were in a trance supplied by the Labor Party and I guess will drift off to the backbench or better yet into retirement! Froggy's use by date has well expired and is a useless dolt! He has a well known history of undermining the effectiveness of the Liberal Party for years. I guess the voters in Toowoomba it seems are either deaf, blind or brain dead when they continue to vote for Froggy! Wake up citizens of Toowoomba and give Froggy the boot at the next election! His term in office is disgraceful!

As for Abbott, Krudd when ever he returns to Australia will have his hands full dealing with a real opposition! I for one look forward to the slow demise of this free spending regime!

And that's The Northern Truth!!

The Revolution in the Liberal Party has begun! The New Heroes of the Liberal Party?

The true patriots of the Liberal Party have stood up and walked out on the Left corrupted and Liberal Traitors Malcolm Turnbull and Ian "Froggy" Macfarlane. Froggy mate yours is coming mate, yours is coming!

And the real heroes of conscience are:

Tony Abbott, Nick Minchin, Sophie Mirabella, Tony Smith, Eric Abetz, Mitch Fifield, Mathias Cormann, Cory Bernardi and Brett Mason all Heroes of the Liberal Party AKA the new order of Heroes of the Liberal Party!

Now the true spill is coming and momentum is building to a Tsunami that will sweep Malcolm and Froggy to the back bench or better yet into the arms of there Socialist Labor Party mates!

And that's The Northern Truth!!

"ANYONE in the parliament who votes for the Emissions Trading Scheme is betraying not just common sense but the country!"

Devilish ETS a scheme nobody should vote for

• Terry McCrann

ANYONE in the parliament who votes for the Emissions Trading Scheme is betraying not just common sense but the country. They are voting for something that will seriously (and pointlessly) hurt every single Australian.

This is one case where the devil is not in the detail. The ETS is 'the devil.' This ETS, any ETS. Attempting to get a 'better ETS' may be good (more accurately, for the opposition and the opposition leader, survival) politics; but it's a dangerous delusion.

The ETS strikes directly against our national interest - attacking the foundation not just of our prosperity but our very society. Threatening to literally turn off the lights.

It also strikes directly against every single Australian individually. Don't be misled by the greens and their acolytes in the media, that it's so mild as to not only be inoffensive but useless.

Yes, it's certainly useless, both in the sense the greens mean the word and in its real meaning.

The greens want to 'de-carbonise' Australia now. They want to in effect 'uninvent' the discovery of fire. To the greens, everything that came after the Stone Age was a crime against Gaia.

No the ETS won't do that. But it's also utterly useless in its own - supposed - terms. Making the slightest difference to the world's emissions of carbon dioxide.

Do the basic math. We contribute 1.5 per cent of global CO2 emissions. Cutting our emissions by 5 per cent - the most likely scenario, given that everyone else at Copenhagen is going to laugh at these hicks from downunderville and promise to do exactly squat - will reduce our contribution to 1.425 per cent.

Hooray, the Barrier Reef is saved! Victoria - according to the prime minister - will never experience another super-hot day again!

Actually, our contribution is going to drop sharply even if we keep increasing our emissions. Why? Because the world's emissions are going to explode over the next decade as China and India pour CO2 into the atmosphere. Reducing our emissions by 5 per cent, by 15 per cent, by 50 per cent, even by 100 per cent, will achieve four-fifths of five-eighths of sweet, very little.

So far as anything to do with climate, whether global or local, is concerned. But reducing our emissions by 'just' 5 per cent will do a lot to the economy - all of it bad to disastrous.

And not just to the economy as some sort of theoretical construct, but to your life. We introduce even this 'modest' ETS, and the lights will start going out. Literally. Starting in Victoria, whose brown coal stations are most at risk, but spreading irresistibly to the other states.

The delusional lure is that this can be met by greater subsidies. The Victorian Government is finally realising how close the state is to power meltdown and has been lobbying furiously for `subsidies.' Simply, more free permits to power stations to emit.

Otherwise they close, and ahead of such inevitable closure, they are unable to finance maintenance and they degrade. Indeed, they are unable to finance anything and go into receivership or administration.

Calls which lead to simple-minded journalists decrying `subsidies for polluters' -- demonstrating they don't know the difference between carbon grit which is a pollutant and has got nothing to with the ETS and carbon dioxide which is not a pollutant and is the 'E' in ETS.

These calls for more permits are delusional desperation. The whole mindless point of the ETS is to close power stations. They work their disastrous magic even if they don't - if they just stop new stations.

The 5 per cent might sound modest but it clashes head on with our prime minister's other mad rush to populate (and perish). Because 5 per cent overall equals more like 33 per cent in per person terms. And to be `achieved' in 11 years, by 2020.

Even if we wanted to build nuclear power stations - we might, the prime minister doesn't - we couldn't get even one done by then if we'd started five years ago.

Further, the more permits are given to particular emitters, the more would have to be squeezed from everyone else. It's a zero sum game. We have to get to the minus 5 per cent. So the big emitters keep emitting, someone else will have to cut more.

And all utterly pointlessly. We attack the foundation of our prosperity for no reason except to allow the prime minister to prance on the global stage.

It becomes a legitimate question whether a form of collective insanity has settled over the cabinet room. It's gone way beyond the `emperor has no clothes' in his prancing.

Indeed it's gone beyond the surreal. With the prime minister's rising hysteria colliding with the leaked emails showing some of his fellow climate hysterics - the 'official' ones behind the whole US climate change dynamic - have massaged their analysis to 'prove' global warming and to - try to - bury the global cooling reality.

Sorry, this was done in their 'peer-reviewed analysis.' All other credible scientists should be alarmed. Nor over supposed global warming. But the way this taints all of them and the scientific method.

'Peer review' will now justly be considered as a euphemism for 'peer conspire.'

This is one of those moments in time. You are either on the right side of history or you are not. Anyone putting their hand up for Kevin Rudd's ETS - any and all versions of it - is casting a vote against Australia, all Australians, and rationality.

Thank you Terry!

And that's The Northern Truth!!

We have been sold out by Labor and now by the Left faction of the Libs?

Picture of the man that has sold out Australia to the Socialist!

The worst has happened and with the help of Ian "Froggy" Macfarlane, Malcom Turnbull has sold out the Australian people by joining Krudd and the Socialist and by not opposing this tyrannical ETS (Emission Taxation Scam). This the same Ian Macfarlane that sold out the Liberal Party in Queensland along with his close mates Geoff Greene and Gary Spence. Now it's just up to the Conservative conscience to stand up in the Senate and kill this piece of rubbish!

And now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of there country and lock arms and stop the ETS NOW!!

And that's The Northern Truth!!

Copenhagen is Dead! One year stay of execution?

According to Wired, "World leaders give up on signing a climate-change treaty at the COP 15 talks next month." What great news the world's Left knows they have no popular support for the draconian ETS or the Climate Change lie has been found out! Apparently the delay is to regroup and figure out the next line to run about the Climate Alarm lie!

Just goes to show how all my mates around the world writing on the ETS and Climate Change myth have been very effective in stopping the Left!

Power to the People!!

And that's The Northern Truth!!

Krudd & Wong must rely on scare tactics to get ETS attention! The Big lie is slowly sinking Labor!

The Emission Taxation Scam slowly sinking with the Krudd Government!

The Governments propaganda wing the ABC reported yesterday that "250,00 homes are at risk from rising seas". That by 2100 the projected sea level rise of 1.1 metres would inundate low lying area, ports and airports. Now this is the same mob that can't predict the weather next week let alone in 90 years.

The only way this pathetic socialist Labor government can get any attention to there draconian ETS is to scaremonger the public. What aload of crap using Timbo Flannery, "scaremonger numbero uno" to spread your bull crap and lies!

They have lost there grip on reality so they have dragged out the scare campaign to get headlines to panic the public! Shame on you, shame on you!

Which way Wong? Keep the mis-information and lies coming, and you and Krudd will both end up unemployed as this Labor farce of government sinks slowly into oblivion!

And that's The Northern Truth!!

Sheik Haron is now a peace activist? In Iran he would be swinging!

That scum Man Monis aka Sheik Haron has been charged with seven counts of using a postal service to harass or menace or cause offence. He is accused of sending abusive letters to families of deceased Australian soldiers killed in Afghanistan.

He's lawyered up now, some anti-Australian scum lawyer, who said, "his client is a peace activist." Pardon me so I can vomit!

I must again laugh at this scum and his defence is a joke. What he has done to the widows is disgraceful and he should get the maximum sentence which I believe is a year on each harassment count and five years for the menace or cause offence.

If he sent harassment letters to Iranian widows I guarantee you he would be swinging from the gallows (Pictured above) at this very moment. I reckon in this case Sharia Law comes in very handy in this case!

And that's The Northern Truth!!

The end of Krudd is near thank you Terry McCrann! Rudd is "unsurpassable -- benchmark for bad government in Australia".

Rudd is next!

Rudd hell-bent on beating Whitlam: bad government

• Terry McCrann
• From: The Australian
• October 31, 2009 12:00AM

FOR more than 30 years the Whitlam government has been the -- unsurpassable -- benchmark for bad government in Australia.

With its uniquely disastrous blend of ideology, arrogance, poor administrative process and fiscal extravagance and simple ineptitude.

Since 1975, many people and things have been characterised as the "worst since Whitlam", none "worse than". Not even the sorry, bumbling administration of Malcolm Fraser that followed.

And the one thing that bound Bob Hawke and Paul Keating so tightly together and drove their approach to government in 1983 was the determination not to end up as "Whitlam Mark II".

Now, however, Kevin Rudd seems embarked on challenging that benchmark. Arguably Rudd has already seized from Fraser -- or Keating as prime minister -- the claim to be the "worst since Whitlam", but there's a case to be made that he's on the way to, or has already become, the first to be "worse than".

That's a big, big call. Especially after the government's "go early, go hard, go households" coup in snatching the country from the jaws of the global recession, allowing Rudd and his Treasurer Wayne Swan (and economic guide and Treasury Secretary Ken Henry) to bask in the spotlight of world admiration and applause.

So what's the basis of my call? The fiscal stimulus -- or to give it its official Swan title, stimulus -- is actually part of my case against the Rudd government, but it's more the "filling" between the two truly totemic failures.

The $43billion National Broadband Network and the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme.

That is, of course, $43bn give or take the odd $10bn or $20bn.

Actually, despite what the good Senator Conroy -- Rex Connor Mark II -- suggests, it is those sums either way.

And despite the title, the CPRS has got nothing to do with "carbon pollution", but the reduction of life-enhancing carbon dioxide.

So why is this worse than everything that Whitlam threw at us? From disastrously inept ministerial governance and -- the real -- Connor and Khemlani, and on to the numbing 46 per cent increase in spending in the 1974 budget?

Well, the approach to the NBN makes everything in the Whitlam period look almost like a model of good governance.

Here we have a government prepared to spend $43bn on the 21st century national infrastructure project without having embarked on the most basic cost-benefit assessment.

And without having the slightest idea of what the most basic metrics could be or would have to be to make any sense of it. The very uncertainty of the figure is most damning of all.

Or perhaps the failure to ask even the most basic question of all -- is there any need for it? Beyond either the childish tantrum: Kevin wants, wants, wants an NBN now. Or the adolescent indulgence: well, everyone just has to have an NBN.

That's the big-picture absurdity, before you even begin to start on the process. Process?

What process?

Exactly.

The evidence extracted from Connor II -- sorry, Con-roy -- is that there was no formal departmental and cabinet process. Indeed it was an eerily similar "good idea at the time" between minister and prime minister replay of some of the original Connor and Whitlam extravaganzas. Further, it wasn't just process failure at the "good idea" level.

We embarked on a year-long exercise to tender for a $12bn FTTN -- fibre-to-the-node -- network; only to suddenly, and I do mean suddenly, announce we would instead build a $43bn (sic) FTTH -- fibre-to-the-home -- one. And launch an assault on a company, Telstra, which however well intentioned and even arguably necessary in the "national interest", was extraordinary and unprecedented. All without any discussion, far less assessment.

The best you could say about all this is that it was truly Whitlamistic. Both the Business Council and, even more tellingly, the Productivity Commission have utterly eviscerated the government's failure to do any assessment.

While Rudd might believe that the combination of Howard and Costello and China have bestowed on him and his government unlimited dollars to splash around, the laws of arithmetic bind him and deliver outcomes just as surely as they did Whitlam.

A dollar or $43bn spent on the NBN is a dollar or $43bn not spent on other infrastructure.

Like, the sort of infrastructure we actually need to ride the China/Asian boom. They're not coming here to buy the stuff moving at light speed over a future NBN, but the hard stuff you dig out of the ground.

So we have the said Henry extolling a golden future built on the new resources boom while his pupil and master pours upwards of $60bn of our still precious savings into enabling fast movie downloads and building school halls. Plaques attached.

A crude mechanistic Keynesianism informs both Henry's advice and analysis. The latter to justify the former.

So the "go hard, go early, etc" prompted the succession of multi-billion dollar spending packages -- no different in substance to Keynes's original "dig holes and fill them up again" advice.

With the "advice" validated by a mechanistic Keynesian calculation that it converted what would otherwise have been 1.3 per cent negative growth in GDP over the 2008-09 year into a positive 0.6per cent.

I tend to the sceptical. That sort of crude Keynesianism might have had validity in the world of Henry's youth. In the complex dynamics of today the relationships are much less reliable.

But whatever might be the truth of allocating the gains between stimulus, the big rate cuts and China, the undeniable reality is the public debt that we emerge with. If it really 'twere for nothing, it would be bad enough.

If it's on the wrong infrastructure for our China-driven 21st century future, it is so much worse. What arguably takes Rudd beyond being merely Whitlam Mark II is the CPRS -- a direct and all-pervasive attack on the very foundation, not just of our national prosperity, but our very existence.

Quite apart from the devastating irony, it is exactly what we are selling and propose to sell much more of to China. Dr Steve Running, a co-author of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, said this week that "if the US passed a cap and trade (their CPRS) and other countries did not, it wouldn't work. It would ruin the US economy and it wouldn't save the climate either".

This is the US, which has nothing like our investment in carbon and has actually embraced, at least to some extent, the nuclear power forbidden by the Rudd government.

Rudd wants to be the only developed country to go to Copenhagen with a mandatory carbon dioxide scheme. A sort of collective insanity seems to have engulfed the government. A seemingly trance-like desire to embrace national suicide.

At least it will finally free Gough Whitlam from his legacy.

And that's The Northern Truth
