The Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), a bill that will impose a tax on the Australian people for their carbon emissions will be blocked in the coming days.
The leader of the opposition was toppled today for his support of the ETS by Tony Abbott, the man to lead the climate sceptics in a revolt against this great green tax.
The opposition will now block the bill in the senate, which will cause a deadlock of the houses. This gives the government the unusual and rare constitutional opportunity to trigger a double dissolution election. It is yet to be determined if they will call for a double dissolution.
I love democracy.

Tony Abbott won by ONE vote. You're turning into quite the propaganda machine on here. |

Yes he did win by one vote, did I say he won in a whitewash? Do you know what propaganda is?
If there's anything exaggerated or factually incorrect please put your arguments forward instead of just taking the easy simpleton route of making insults. |
