ALP produces irrelevant policy
The ALP continue to reinforce their lack of relevance by listening to the left wing of the party, that group busily working at keeping the ALP out of office.
Labor environment spokesman Anthony Albanese and Pacific Islands spokesman Bob Sercombe said a Labor Government would provide regional leadership to ensure that Pacific Islanders forced to leave their homes by rising sea levels would be considered refugees and given assistance to resettle.We have a potential problem miles and years away and the ALP use doubtful science as a reason to impliment a policy that may not be necessary Even Planet Ark are doubtful about the problem
“The evidence is building that the oceans are warming but so far we still have not seen any change in the sea level rise rate so that acceleration is not there,” he said.So one day in the far distant future people living in Kirrabati might have a problem. The sea might rise a few centimetres and they might be obliged to rebuild their huts a little further up the beach. Anthony Albanese, believing all the worlds problems emanate from global warming and the subsequent rising seas, studiously ignores the myriad of others problems facing Australians, including the ones who elected him, and suggests we concentrate on people who don’t have a problem and who aren’t Australian. Get with the plan, Anthony, help produce some policies that are relevant to Australians. What is your party going to do about terrorism, defence, education, transport infrastructure, pensions, the Tax system….you know all that boring stuff that politicians who aspire to leadership worry about. The stuff that concerns the electorate. If the ALP only trusts you with environmental matters, as appears to be the case, then start working on our environment. What is your policy for plantation timber? Explain it to the electorate now so they can balance the jobs lost should your party be elected to power, with the doubtfull returns of having you actually being responsible for something. Environmental refugees…give me strength!

One of the many good reasons for voting against the Labor party at the federal level would be the frightening prospect of Albanese being given a ministry should they gain government. The man is a disaster and seems devoid of common sense. It beats comprehension how he can be given responsibility for policy when he seems to get everything horribly wrong. He went to Tasmania and got run out of town by unionists! His efforts played no small part in Labor losing two Tasmanian seats.
His rigid embrace of the global warning issue ignores conflicting evidence from people like Ian Pilmer. Antony, at least discuss some of the opposing views.
As Deputy Manager of Opposition Business Albanese continuously makes infantile remarks under the guise of a point of order. The invariable response from the Speaker is “There is no point of order. The Member for Grayndler will resume his seat.” He has been removed from the House on numerous occasions. He comes across as a clown and knave. Question Time may well be ephemeral theatre but Grayndler’s Pride does nothing but further degrade the process.
He may do well in his own electorate but other voters look at him, wince and vote anything but Labor.
The acceleration is not there but presumably that means the seas are not rising as quickly as we expect but that they’re still rising. So even if the ocean levels are rising, and affected peoples do find their country disappearing, you’re suggesting we should only worry about that when it happens ? ie: dont bother about it now ?
If it does happen it won’t be overnight. In fact it will most probably be that after decades of scientific monitoring a trend is noticed, if at all. By then the world will have quietened down and even the Greens and the Left will most probably have to acknowledge that ‘warming’ is as much a natural cyclic phenomena as it is man caused and that if we have to do something about people living within one metre of ASL it doesn’t have to be by tomorrow. That is, Anthony is trying to sell a policy to the wrong people; he needs to sell it to our great, great, great, great grandchildren and then he can still only suggest they keep monitoring the situation.
All the evidence is not in yet, the jury is still out and Anthony Albanese thinks the country is going to follow him with his amazing policies.
They’re not.
