According to: ABC News - Liberals confident in emissions amendments
Ian Macfarlane will present amendments that he says protect jobs and industry but would still meet the target of cutting greenhouse emissions by 5 per cent by 2020. Mr Macfarlane says the amendments he is proposing will not add to the cost for the taxpayer.1. How can you make any sort of significant global change of the magnitude required without cost, which ultimately, one way or another, must always be to the taxpayer?
"There'll be no requirement for taxpayers to dip in," he said.
2. 5%: what a totally pathetic cop-out! After 11 years being the "do-nothing party" in government in Australia, we now have the same idiots crowing about being the "let's do 5% party".
These clowns are so busy with their heads stuck up their arses, it must be past time for a new political party in Australia.
