Thanks, mate, for your comments back to me, re that upload of yours about Oakeshott & my earlier comments. Thankfully, I'm not located in his electorate .. otherwise I'd really be angry. The antics of this clown, + some of the other independents, demonstrates the problems which can arise in instances of minority govt such as we have to put up with at present. Cheers, CD.

BigDon62, cool channel!

Look mate after seeing a post at Part II of this, I'm not in the mood to go over old ground. You at least seem to have common humility with your comments. Read my comments from early on re. the carbon tax matter as I see nothing new in your thoughts here to reply to. All I see is the same boring old defence of the indefensible from your side of the debate, please come up with something new or kindly withdraw & let carbon taxing, pricing call it what you will, along with ETS schemes just fall into histories oblivion, as it surly will in time anyway.

You claim that climate change is an international conspiracy, and that is your right. However, it would be negligent of the government if it accepted your view. It is their responsibility to accept decades of credible peer reviewed science. It would be irresponsible for them to accept the untested views of a non-scientist whose opinions have been rejected by 97% of the world's leading climate scientists. If Christopher Monkton wants his views to be considered legitimate, he must then use the same process as every other scientists so as to allow an equal playing field, and submit his conclusions to be reviewed by other scientists through the peer review process. The onus is also on Monkton and yourself to demonstrate clearly that 97% of the worlds leading climate scientists have suddenly decided to lie and forge evidence.

G'day Don, just subscribed, I'm also following you one twitter. Have a good day :-)

HAHAHAHA Don you said "I should be taxed now, that would cool me down" ... well ... you're right ... only the furious passing to-and-fro of money, fluttering from hand to hand, will create enough breeze to cool the planet! Maybe this is what the Greens and Labor have in mind? $$$$$ induced cooling? Of course it's absurd, the whole thing and I am yet to find anyone who agrees with it and I live in a Labor electorate. I make it a priority to ask people I come across eg. the checkout chic when I'm shopping (I'm pretty chatty) ... young friends of my kids, mums at playgroup ... I can't find anyone who agrees with the tax and am finding it harder to find people who even agree with the science. Once upon a time, all the kids were "believers" - now they're more discerning and cautious about the guff they're being fed. Some of the mothers were concerned about warming (worried about the babies and the future) but all said that a tax doesn't "cool" anything.

Howdy Don. Thanks for the comment. Still haven't organised my onemoreterm channel LOL ... so hopeless! The wedding was great and now that Easter is over, things are starting to settle down. What are your thoughts on the carbon tax? Seeing you already ride your bike, I don't know how much more you can do for the environment Don. You're better than I am.
Hope you're well mate
Cheers
;-)

Nice :-)

My dad was from Perth, so its nice to meet another Aussie. G'day!

Forgot to say that I featured Dorothea's poem in my channel profile a while back for our American friends - gives them an idea of what Australia is truly like as a country.
