Inconvenient Truth

A Bad Law With Sinister Motives

A sinister law, planned by a government with sinister motives:

Government plans to encourage people to sue each other using a statutory privacy tort have been denounced as so uncertain as to undermine the rule of law.

The Rule of Law Institute says the privacy scheme being considered by the Gillard government is so subjective it would leave ordinary people in doubt about what they could say to each other without incurring liability.

“As far as the rule of law is concerned, it is bad to have an uncertain law and it is bad to have a law that is subjective,” said Robin Speed,  chairman of the Rule of Law Institute.

He said it was clear the federal government had decided to revisit plans to create a statutory privacy tort as a way of intimidating the media.

It is really that bad. Some in the Government are prepared to trash our freedoms just to cling to power. They are acting like gangsters, not statesmen.

Deceitful Government Advertising

How deceitful is the Gillard government? Their carbon tax advertisement shows a picture of a power station belching out black smoke. The problem is, it’s a picture of the old Battersea plant in Britain which was closed thirty years ago. How stupid does the government think we are? How is it that such a deceitful and unscientific ad can not only be shown on television, but is endorsed by politicians demanding we “accept the science”? Our coal-fired power stations emit little more than steam and invisible gas. Drive past one and see for yourself.

And just a word on those pro-carbon tax rallies. Have you ever seen anything as silly as a mob of people with placards begging the government to hit them with a new tax?

Gillard Government’s Reckless Spending

Senate Estimates revealed that in recent months Julia Gillard spent more than $1,500.00 on possum collars for a tree at Kirribilli House and $8,200.00 to remove another tree at the Lodge. Also Labor has splurged more than $1,000,000.00 on pot plants for the Department of Education. Labor is spending $11,000,000.00 on a furniture makeover for Parliament House and forking out a whopping $3,400.00 of taxpayers’ money for each desk. And over at The Department of Climate Change they spent $61,000.00 on a “dull green logo” for the National Carbon Offset Standard which one brand strategy expert described as “neither distinctive, nor memorable”. Need I go on?

Carbon Cate Purchases Beachfront Property

Cate Blanchett is so convinced the world is going to die from a trace gas essential to life on Earth, that she purchased a mountain top bunker to avoid the rising seas beach-front property in Vanuatu.  You couldn’t make it up. Now if you were really concerned about climate change, why would you buy a beachfront property on an island that all the alarmists agree is one of the first in line to be swamped by the alleged sea level rises resulting from, er, climate change? But then Cate is just the latest in a long line of eco-celebrities who lecture the little people on how they should behave, and then go and do precisely the opposite. Like Al Gore. Yawn. Next.
