the rock

You can smell it a mile off, the States are turning on their own Prime Minister, the lobbyists are working overtime to blame higher Oil prices on the impending Emissions Trading System, the short-termist chicken little's are out in force, even allegedly dividing the Cabinet....yes the The Prime Minister is looking set to do the unthinkable - waiver on Climate Change which this country cannot afford for him to do- and i don't know much about politics but I am pretty sure it would be close to Political suicide back-tracking on a major election promise because the going got tough.
Thankfully Penny Wong is taking the flak and standing firm on her view - we need more of this kind of rhetoric
"The government is not designing an emissions trading scheme on the basis of polls, we're designing it for the long-term economic future of the country," Climate Change Minister Penny Wong told local radio.
Stand firm guys, you need to be a rock on this one, the same myopic people who are trying to hamper the system will be lampooning you when the Oil price falls and you haven't delivered on the Election promise of the Australian ETS, make no mistake.
And I'll say this again, Petrol prices will only rise by circa 6c per litre, we have weathered way worse already, the higher the price of fuel goes the more marginal this 6c becomes.
