Comedy gold!
Gillard must have been wearing out her shoe leather selling the Carbon Tax to the people that day.
Just ahead of the improvement in the polls once people realised Abbott was just running a scare campaign and people could see the legislation.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Beautiful.
FMD, who was the brave reporter at the ABC who dared pan to show the empty room? Or is even the ABC starting to sicken of this bad joke of a government?
The ABC didn’t show an ” empty” room, to them it was full, and the government is doing the right thing about the biggest challenge facing humanity. They have no doubts.
Questions from the audience .
That went well!
Note the body language and the voice, didn’t look or sound convincing
Hi-larious!
Combet owns waterfront residential property.
He either has great confidence in the CO2 Tax and its ability to halt the rising waters near Newcastle or he realises it’s a political scam.
I couldn’t possibly comment on his sincerity.
Shame. (For non country folk, that means profound embarrassment.)
I am so looking forward to this loser being punted by his electorate.
Speaking of elections, how’s about we have one ASAP, please plonkers?
You know it makes sense.
Just the way ALP like it. Only them and the media.
Oh my giddy aunt – how embarrassment.
Mr Combet sent me a magnetic fridge calendar this week, since I’m in his electorate. It was in my letterbox. It starts on 1 July 2012 to helpfully remind me every day that he brought in the carbon tax on that day.
I wonder if the guys who lost their jobs at the Kurri aluminium smelter got one too.
I’m uncertain where to frame it as a monument to human stupidity or write on rude words and stick it under his office door in Cardiff.
Ahh yes Bruce, ALP love fridge magnets.
If you want a few hundred thousand of em, call CanDo.
Bruce – i’d go with the rude words.
It may come across as a little twee – but it will feel good.
Just drop a couple of Centrelink registration forms into the front office for him, Bruce.
He’ll get the message.
Or perhaps a shovel…
Combet has a huge career ahead of him after his soon to be terminated parliamentary career.
Comedy. The new Elliot Goblet.
ABC24 is likely to get shut down showing these unscripted moments that don’t fit the delusional narrative.
Bruce,
Write rude words and araldite it on the front door.
hhhhhhhhaaaaaaa just had to watch it a second time. Maybe it was invitation only and someone forget to send them out. Am still giggling, made my day.
Ahahahahahahaha.
While there were not any people in the audience, there were in fact many tonnes of carbon dioxide and it was to these that the Minister was addressing his speech.
Seen more people gathered around a dead snake. Poor Combet didn’t even have the snake.
