Australia is now the first country to remove climate change legislation

[n2doc]

What does Australia no longer have in common with South Africa, India, China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, New Zealand, Finland, the Netherlands, France, Slovenia, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Switzerland, the UK, Ireland, Costa Rica, and Brazil? As of today, unlike those other countries, we no longer have a Carbon Tax.

The successful repeal makes us the first nation to actually remove any efforts towards combating global Climate Change. It is, one way or the other, going to be a day that will be of enormous historical significance not just in our own history, but in the history of our relationship with the rest of the world.

It's been a day that's been met with despair for the future of our planet on one side

I think maybe the US has them beat, at least with smaller stuff. Of course we can't even enact legislation in the first place

2. IIRC Australia is almost the poster country for the bad effects

of climate change.
Smart move, Ossies!

4. Ironic in a nation that's under siege by climate change more than most any other.

5. ahhh..denial as a climate change prevention tool.

It's easy....and cheap....
don't think it is very effective tho.
Needs more study, perhaps.

6. Considering that 85 percent of Australians live within 50 kms of the coast that seems really

short-sighted on their part.

7. It's not my fault...

I voted for the other Party. Every time I hear the name Tony Maggot... er I mean Abbot, I hiss with anger.

It's incredible that a single party (the so-called Liberal Party) can contain such spite, malice, deliberate ignorance, incompetence and corruption. And that's the nice things I have to say about them.

/sigh
