Rudd has failed
December 19th, 2009
So much for the grand and holy climate consensus. China and India have walked out of the Copenhagen climate discussions, so the conference has failed badly.
Now remember that Rudd was meant to be a ‘friend’ of the conference, or some ridiculous such role, to give Rudd a special place at the conference. Rudd was also saying that it was critical and essential that Australia take to the conference a carbon tax and bribe scheme, otherwise we would be left out in the cold.
Well, we all knew that was a lie, Rudd just wanted to big himself in front of his socialist mates on his way to Sec. Gen. of the UN.
So given that the conference has failed so badly, what does that say about Rudd’s judgement to have our own carbon tax and bribe scheme before the conference? Rudd put his own will and agenda ahead of the national interest, and if the Senate had caved into Rudd we would have looked silly and damaged our own economy for no good and/or measurable reason.
As a result, Abbott’s position to oppose carbon taxation looks even stronger after Rudd’s failure at Copenhagen. Who has judgement problems now?
