She's dead f**ken right too. If we'd left Australia to the indigenous population they'd have heaps of space on the roads.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Indonesian roads. Plenty of traffic on them.

Yeah, but they're all foreigners.

And most of them are Muslims.

Foreigners + Muslims = More traffic.

It's greener than @I'm a loser baby... after realising he just blew his rent money on a multi.

I already have it on my penis so it would make sense it would be on my hands at some point.

How much do you reckon he'd go for on the blackmarket?

Not very much.

Loads on the white market though

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Oh dear...

Interesting. Such a multi creatu.... I mean, such a magnificent creature.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

We were eliminated from the comp? You mad, bro. I'm free.... freefalling...

Hang on... Deadpool is some X-MEN spinoff?

They wouldn't be foreigners if we'd left Australia for them to colonise. They would be here, treating the non-Javanese indigenes humanely, like they do in the rest of their empire.

But there would certainly be plenty of traffic on their roads.

No it's a Dirty Harry spinoff

Tony Abbott is getting saturation press right now and has ramped up his Climate Change hoax rhetoric. Today he is advocating the scrapping of clean energy targets and the opening of multiple coal power stations. The future he says is 100% coal.

The conservative base listens to him. It's an example of many many from the conservative side of life who have demonstrated an ability to listen to science and not stick their heads in the sand.

I find it fascinating how old white men are predominantly the core of climate change deniers.

A merkin from Yale deemed it “identity protective cognition” theory, which is when individuals selectively accept or dismiss risks in order to preserve a socio-economic structure beneficial to them. In other words, white men are not inclined to accept as real certain dangers—such as the hazardous impacts of continued carbon emissions—when they challenge their preferred way of life—in this case, one built on a fossil fuel economy.

So Abbott is going to cross the floor should the coalition introduce a bill that is never going to happen.

I guess its a reason to get on his soapbox and get some press.

IIRC the Finkel Report has been largely implement other than the Clean Energy Target. It's the far right of the LNP who are road blocking this.

Abbott has convinced himself that the coalition should go to the next election with the premise that the Labor / Greens position on climate change is bonkers socialist activism and that what Australians really want is good old fashioned coal generated power. With him leading the party of course.

Maybe I am politically blind because of my entrenched stance on these things, but I would like to think that Australia don't agree that going backwards is a sensible policy.

I think its more about selling our coal, remember Coal is the Future, f**k the planet.
