Parsing the politics

By Judy Crozier - posted Monday, 24 March 2014


Well, I could go on. And on. I could mention the loss of rights now legislated in Queensland and Victoria; I could mention the undoing of work on the preservation of our environment.

I could make a sad joke about how many scientists it takes to change policy on climate change. (A: One, if he's on the board of a company owned by Gina Rinehart).

I could go on.

Perhaps this inability to think clearly is in part a result of Howard's belittling of comment as 'chattering'.

Suffice it to say that, for the rest of us, one big march in March represented the parsing of Abbott's politics.

It is sum of what the Coalition stands for that, frankly, scares us to death.

Pity our commentators can neither read nor add.
