Gillard on the 7.30 Report
As we would expect, the climate change “committee” that Julia Gillard will set up in agreement with the Greens will be stacked with warmists, and there won’t be a sceptic within 20 miles. From the ABC’s 7.30 Report last night (thanks to Laurie W for the link):
KERRY O’BRIEN: OK. If we can look at your early priorities in this Gillard Government. Climate change has had a very chequered career within Labor’s first term, and even during the campaign. When your climate change committee that you’ve agreed to with the Greens has been set up – which it will be done as – I think by late this month – what timeframe would you want to see for that committee? And are you committed to seeing legislation come into the Parliament within this term of office?
JULIA GILLARD: Well, in the spirit of including people, Kerry, it’s not for me to dictate. But what I would like to see from that committee is that we can genuinely include, across the Parliament, people who believe climate change is real and who believe we will only reduce carbon pollution and meet our 2020 targets if we price carbon. And then with all of those people in the room, we’d work through to look for the points of agreement. (source)
Just read that sentence again: The committee will be formed from “people who believe climate change is real and who believe we will only reduce carbon pollution and meet our 2020 targets if we price carbon.” So what on earth is the point of this committee other than to rubber stamp a decision already made?
You can already detect the stench of Green influence on this government, and it will only get more putrid…
Australian Climate Madness 
The committee was always ever only going to consist of those who believe in climate change. Labor’s problem all along has been what course of action to take, not if any should be taken at all.
This woman is a bloody joke.
First she says “Well, in the spirit of including people, Kerry”
then with her next breath she dribbles:-
“what I would like to see from that committee is that we can genuinely include, across the Parliament, people who believe climate change is real and who believe we will only reduce carbon pollution and meet our 2020 targets if we price carbon.”
Talk about setting up the group think framework.
And she has the hide to do label it as being in the spirit of “including people”
Typical Socialist. Surround yourself with the like minded, that way you can never be wrong.
“in the spirit of including people”. How humble.
I’m lost for words.

It was true 2000 years ago and nothing has changed.
Looks like keeping the Wong person as Climate Change Minister might aid Labor’s self-destruction:

So true RexAlan.
Damn, you guys just keep the good news coming don’t you. I have dutifully passed it on.

As Ian Holm said in Alien, “I can’t lie to you about your chances, but…you have my sympathies.”
what else can one say with these idiots in charge, except for do we have enough lubricant.
When she talks of carbon pollution and associates this with carbon dioxide obviously she knows little chemistry if nothing at all. Isn’t it like saying the floods in Victoria are due to hydrogen pollution?
What really annoys me is that government scientists allow her to keep espousing this falsehood!
Also The Loaded Dog refers this to socialism or socialists. What has this to do with socialism? There is not a socialist in the Labor Party for a start!
One of Julia’s heroes is supposedly Nye Bevan. I think Nye would turn in his grave if the Australian labor Party shenanigans of late were tied into his brand of socialism
“We have achieved consensus by excluding all dissent”-just like UEA and IPCC
