This is I guess one of the down sides of our parliamentary system which is often heavily based on running with and driving public opinion no matter how unrobust, missguided or plain ignorant that drive and view may be.

Appear to change her mind or look into the camera and out and out lie
In a desperate effort to sway public opinion to remain in power?
Good governing or is it simply bowing to the demands of the Greens again in a desperate effort to remain in power? Or are we actualy being taxed for the air we breath?
I worry about our future as we provide the world with our natural recourses while our ability to manufacture anything rapidly dwindles.
It would be nice to believe the powers that be go home worrying about the future of the planet but, that would just be naive.
It's getting harder to believe anything our leaders tell us as it seems they will say anything for a grab at power.
Not looking forward to the next election.......
