The point is if the people who deny climate change are wrong it is going to be a disaster but if the people who believe in climate change are wrong the world will have created new industries and new jobs in those industries. I think of the two extremes of wrong one we can live with and one we can't no brainer in my opinion

It's interesting that this thread has stayed open longer than mine when I mentioned the dreaded word

"Carbon Tax"

sorry but we get the Govt we vote in but the leader can change on a whim bit thick isn't it when half the population vote on whether they like the leader or not

[tlgerdes (Trevor)]

Of course we will judge you Steve, just the same way we are all judging each other over this thread

[bartman (Bart)]

I'm guessing that most of you are watching Outcasts on ABC iView now cause I cant get a connection!!!! Too many people watching?

Id never heard of Bolt until now, just had a look at his boat ppl rant on utube. 90% of Afgani refugies on wellfair 5 years later, really !!!!, IF and only IF thats true, WTF, you carefully dont hear that in mainstream press, 1st Ive heard that.

Putting aside the implications of that, IF its true, why isnt that little insignificant fact more widely broadcast, doesnt it matter?. Cant we have that info to decide if it does or not?.

Political correctness by hardcore bleeding hearts hell bent on one sided media control just makes peasents like me very suspicious of media generally. The likes of Bolt shouldnt be required, but thank christ they exist, however extreme they are.

Fred the same reason the Govt pays refugees on welfare more in a year than a pensioner gets

it's not politically beneficial that we know the truth

What a hoot Mike ... I've been wondering why he has been popping up on tv a little more of late .


Personaly I disslike all political claptrap equally , what I really find disturbing about this idividual is that for sure I understand If you give a Bigot a mouthpiece to peddle there views they will sell your advertising space equally to the washed and unwashed

Down the line a little I don't understand why all social comentary
has to take such a political bias at every turn . .. both right and left
sides of the political spectrum seem as pathetic as the other imo >

Isn't Bolt the other sides Phillip Adams

I work for the Govt and believe me it's not a myth in this country

[Bassnut (Fred)]

No, I dont want tricky links to Canadian Urban legends, loosely connected to australia , I want the actual figures for Afgan immigrant employment ratios after 5 years, given I think this is of some importance to ignorant ppl like me. If Bolt is dead wrong, then im happy, easy. Why is this data so damb hard to get?.

Simple answer Fred vote buying

thats why some Govt benefit schemes support the rich at the exepnse of the poor

now this can apply equally to all politcal parties so I'm not favouring one over the other
