In fact by writing this snippet I am potentially perpetuating the story but I just wanted to stick up for them, they were probably all still in there working putting together the Green Paper or something. I know its politics but surely after this amount of time Mitch Fifield has something better to do than this,
Mr Nakkan could not say whose offices were affected, prompting Liberal senator Mitch Fifield to query whether Senator Wong was trying to escape blame.
''I'm just wondering whether Senator Wong, who understandably as the Minister for Climate Change would be acutely embarrassed to have her office illuminated during Earth Hour, whether she is trying to blame the department for something which was within the control of her office or, if as you say, there was a malfunction of some sort,'' he said.
''We'd all like to see the Climate Change Minister practise what she preaches ... I don't want to be in any way, shape or form cynical, but it would seem to be extremely convenient for the ministers concerned that there was a malfunction affecting their suites on the night of Earth Hour.'' AAP

I hate getting political but he needs to pull his head in and worry about more important things. Earth Hour was two months ago, apologies have been made, MOVE ON!!!! For the record I would never call myself a Labor supporter, the closest I get is by voting green but if anyone is putting their money where their mouth is, its Senator Wong and the newly formed Climate Change department. The job they have undertaken is MASSIVE and they seem to be the hardest working politicians in Canberra from where I sit.

I like her, she comes across as true and caring actually. Oh, and seems much more intelligent than the average pollie.
Maybe I should email her office and say "not to worry, I kept my lights off for four hours or more, so I probably made up for your mistake."
Besides, they use fluros, which burn bugger all.
However, it was a dumb mistake!
cheers

We all need electromagnetic motors running our power! No emmissions, no power imput once started!
Wonder if they have the guts to invest in that development, I bet not, as there are too many votes with coal miners at present!
