Good people, I enjoyed yesterday's first day of parliament for the year. We kept our questions short and tight and managed to rile a few conservatives into some strange rants. For instance, Turnbull's tirade in Question Time:
"What the opposition is doing now is giving us some kind of cramped political theology. Nobody is allowed to doubt. Anybody with an open mind is to be banned"
Is this meant to be some kind of neo-smash-the-socialist-menace message?
We have a very open mind to climate change, sustainable energy, the reduction of greenhouse emissions, the signing of the Kyoto treaty. I don't see the Howard government portraying an open mind to Kyoto!
And then yesterday we have Howard's cynical flip flops. After nearly 11 years, he's suddenly changed his view on carbon trading and David Hicks. How has Mr Howard suddenly become "very uncomfortable" with the slow progress of court action against David Hicks?
Shame on you Mr Howard. Do you really think the the Australian people will believe you have shifted your opinions on the weight of evidence and not on our decisive policy statements on both issues or the heat you are receiving from your backbench???
