I note today that Tony Windsor is "challenging" BHP to reveal its true position on the carbon tax.
Perhaps it's time for Mr Windsor to do the same given that he is the one at the political poker table.
The dilemma for Mr Windsor is that if he backs the carbon tax in his electorate he exacerbates the current antagonism around his support for the Green/Labor/ Independent government and makes his position even further untenable.
If he blocks the carbon tax then the Green/Labor/Independent Government's position in the whole country is untenable, because they become totally purposeless. It is their own doing that the Green/Labor/ Independent alliance have sold their soul to something nobody wants. To be cruel, it’s almost as entertaining as Kate and Will’s wedding.
There is only one way out because nobody believes that the Green/ Labor/Independent alliance can change the climate and that is this; as Kate says, “I do” to Will, they have to just say “No” to the tax.
