Despite “climate change” being the greatest threat to humanity since the dawn of time (© Al Gore, IPCC etc etc), the Senate decided to debate other “more pressing” bills [what could be “more pressing” than saving the planet?? – Ed] before the ETS this week, making it almost certain that it won’t be debated before at all before the winter break, which starts next week.

Penny Wong is livid, of course:
“They have been filibustering, wasting time, using every tactic they can to delay debate on this Bill,” Senator Wong said.
