OO - I know I posted a cartoon "regarding" the carbon tax - doesn't mean we now need to be swamped with "anti Abbott" cartoons that have nothing to do with carbon tax (the purpose of this thread).
Okay, sure, 2 x Tony Abbott cartoons 'swamping'
(that really is okay, Nanna Dazz didn't much approve of it either)..the first cartoon I have deleted, that was the one about Tony Abbott 'Through The Ages'...thinking the wheel was silly, internal combustion engines will never get off the ground, inoculations just hocus pocus, clinate change 'crap' and carbon tax worthy of a people's revolution via Alan Jones's airways...
the second, which is now the 'first' cartoon:
Refers to Malcolm Turnbull's comments last week to press about the challenge he faces (as an ETS/carbon pricing supporter), juggling that in the liberal party, (ALONG with other rational minded party members!!)-led by Tony Abbott, whom, does not, (then does) believe in climate change, does, (then does not) want an ETS.
Here are his comments:
MALCOLM Turnbull has undermined Tony Abbott's attack on the government by again exposing opposition divisions over carbon policy.
The former opposition leader, whose fall was triggered by his support for the Rudd emissions trading scheme, again effectively distanced himself from the Abbott policy. He made it clear he was staying in line because he is in shadow cabinet and loyal, rather than agreeing with the policy.
Carbon had been a contentious area in the Coalition, but its ''current position'' was to oppose an emissions trading scheme or a carbon tax, Mr Turnbull told the ABC.
He said he had never backed a carbon tax, adding pointedly - in a veiled reference to Mr Abbott once saying a tax would be better than an ETS - that some of his colleagues had supported a tax at different times.
Pressed on whether he personally thought the government scheme had merit, Mr Turnbull said: ''The best thing that I can say is not to take a personal view and just simply say that the Coalition's policy is to be opposed to it. I'm part of the collective, I'm a member of the shadow cabinet''.
Mr Turnbull also highlighted Mr Abbott's shift on the issue. Mr Abbott had supported an emissions trading scheme and then ''changed his position and resigned from the shadow cabinet and challenged me for the leadership and was successful''.

An explanation of the word 'duplictous', as used in the cartoon..
du·plic·i·tous (d -pl s -t s, dy -). adj. Given to or marked by deliberate deceptiveness in behavior or speech.
The cartoon is about the expressed (and on the record) differences b/w Abbott and Turnbull, over the ETS...resulting in the leadership switch, and which has now resurfaced last week, (by Malcolm).
We almost certainly will have the carbon pricing legislation, it more than likely will become an ETS. Tony Abbott, (thankyou universe) was not made Prime Minster. Get over it.
Apart from 'some' very interesting information (you guys know who you are) and some relevant, robust debate...in this thread, "
Some" operative word...there has been numerous ridiculous and irrelevant political bagging, the sheeple disciples of Tony Abbott are whiney, squawky, repetitive, disgruntled and bitter about TA not being voted in as PM, as is TA himself. Bingo!
