No Carbon Tax The People Say


Yesterday's “No Carbon Tax” protest rally in Canberra has certainly created some talking points, unfortunately much of the discussion has been about who could come up with the nastiest saying and the associated poster.


A few things that have come from this that have been interesting, however.

Some of the first organised protest rallies weren't that big in number, yesterday's protest in Brisbane was only a few hundred people but yesterday's Canberra rally at the Nation's Parliament House certainly showed that the public is against this Carbon Tax move and that strong public support to protest against the Carbon Tax....continues to grow.


Anyone who takes an impartial look at yesterday's protest and the protesters will not be hoodwinked by those trying to brush them off even interestingly there was one Labor MP (Deb O'Neill from NSW Central Coast) who got in amongst it, (not known if she supports the tax or the protest but was said she was there to listen to the people) because clearly she knew and understood she is a representative of the people and the people had come to Canberra to speak to their elected representatives.


In the other corner is the Get Up” organisation who until recently tried to maintain the line that they are a bipartisan grass-roots organisation for every day Australians.

They reached their newest low yesterday in mounting an organised media campaign to try and discredit the protesters themselves, clearly showing who they are and what they'll stoop to, yeah grassroots orgnanisation???    … Turn It Up

Experienced NSW MP's falling like dominoes

Well you have to hand it to NSW Premier Kristina Keneally. As Premier she said to her top henchmen, err I mean um ar Labor party officials that she wanted new blood and they are pushing out MP's like toppling dominoes.
This is something I spoke about months ago when I predicted that Labor would go to the 2011 polls with some new members asking the public for a do over.

This isn't the first time NSW Labor has gone to the polls with a new team asking the public for a second chance – out with the old please give our new team a go...and all that.
How many second chances can you ask for? So Kristina certainly is proceeding to ensure that the message is clear enough, it is going to be as new of a team as she can get but this time around we don't just tinker around the edges, I really want a new team, get rid of anyone with any experience at all,she's clearly told the party, and her henchmen, errr I mean party officials have gone to task.

If Labor does win the next election it ensures the Premier's position goes unchallenged because there won't be anyone left in parliament except for her who knows how things work in there …. pushing dominoes as an election winning strategy.   But you have to ask, is this grass roots politics?

.....Turn It Up, I'm Michael Robinson
