The question for non LNP die-hards must be whether Turnbull has the courage of his convictions.
Standing by Abbott's bumbling daily cycle of moronic buffoonery has left Turnbull looking rather wishy washy ethically.
Sure it's politics. But there's a desperate need to move beyond politics when it comes to climate change.
As we resign ourselves now to the impending likelihood of a 3 degree rise in temperature, it's surely time we actually genuinely thought about the interests of our children in terms of preventing a 4+ degree rise.
Anyone who doesn't know the implications of a 3+ degree rise and therefore the implications of the climate policies of who they vote for, needs to do some rapid getting up to speed on the dire future facing our children and grandchildren.
Nothing makes my blood boil more than both parties doing nothing yet saying they represent the interests of Australian families.
At the end of the day he will just be a figurehead. How he feels about the ETS doesn't reflect on what the LNP want.
And for that reason I'm glad there wasn't a change.
The LNP has managed to recruit every last scared little old balding bespectacled God fearing limp minded backward non compus mentus vermin willing to scuttle out of a cockroach hole into office.
I'd be happy to see Turnbull in office but the LNP need a total cleanout first.
Meanwhile, let them rot in their ignorance.
We need a new government with the courage of its convictions which will make a stand.
Or we're done for.
And you can talk money and debts all you like but it means nothing if the planet's uninhabitable.
Just leaves me gobsmacked every time the Gillard government is criticised when it brought in the platform that every elite mind has recommended as the best way to tackle climate change - a pathway to an ETS with massive investment in renewables.
Pathetically convenient that this is the one domain that that neo cons argue against a market driven solution, when they're backed by fossil fuel dollars.
Talk about criminal conspiracies on a grand scale, when you combine the actions of Murdoch.
Not to mention this government expecting taxpayers to foot the $2 billion bill for polluters under the direct (in)action plan.
Credit to Abbott for the biggest political scam ever, in convincing an educated country that they should foot the $2 billion bill in accounting for the carbon footprint of their big polluting brethren, not to mention selling the idea that collecting a little more revenue from the mining moguls before they cut and run is an outrage AGAINST the people!
Turnbull having to repackage this governments disastrous policies would be just another case of selling sub prime debts as triple A investments via a pre-purchased 5 star Moody's rating.
No thanks.
This government needs to be forced into an election ASAP.
Either that or the International Court needs to start convicting climate criminals like this government for ecocide ASAP.
