Poll Time – Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme

March 5, 2009 @ 20:02 By Gavin Webber 6 Comments

I read today that the PM is seriously thinking of bowing to big businesses and may delay the very ordinary CPRS.

Now, I believe that even a dud scheme is probably better than no scheme at all, but I am going to put the question out there in the form of a poll.

Let me know what you think. For more information on the media speculation have a look at these couple of articles.

Kevin Rudd signals delay in emissions trading scheme.

or

Shrinking economy no reason to delay ETS: Rudd

Now I am really confused. Does the PM really know what he is actually talking about, or is it a media smoke screen. Maybe a bit of both?

Will this article help someone you know? If so help them out by sharing now!

    How do you tell when a politician is lying?

    He’s lips are moving.

    So, basically we’re screwed or, we’re screwed

    Yeah, I’ll take the dud scheme over no scheme. We’ll just have to be annoyingly squeaky wheels to fix it, but if there’s no scheme then there’s no action we can take at all.

    Hi Gavin,

    Just voted on your pool.

    By the way can we please have a post on growing our own honey? Can a family have a little beehive?

    Best wishes,
    Daisy
