OK, so let me get this straight. This is an experiment, just like the 50kmh speed zones were an experiment. Meanwhile, some group of vegans who are jealous of those with cars want us all to be just like them under the thinly veiled guise of global warmenenenening. Wow, can't wait for new years eve where at midnight we can all celebrate the new year of 1984.

Tell you what, I'll let them conduct their experiment on me as soon as they allow me to conduct some experiments of my own on them. These are the politicians, the warmenistas and the elite who want to dictate to us, the wider public.
1/ As they've told us all Poley bears will drown, I'd like to stick 50 global warming people in a big pool and stick 20 starved Poley bears on its perimeter. See how long they last.
2/ Because they want us to open our borders, I'd like to stick everyone who said they felt "ashamed to be an Australian" in the last ten years on a plane to any Middle Eastern country they like where they can espouse their messages of love.
3/ I'd like to have every green sympathisers car crushed and returned to mother Gaia as they seek to ban fossil fuels. I'd also like to see them give up electricity and everything that's been invented since the industrial revolution.
Until they let me do my experiments, forgive me for labelling them all hypocrites.

O/T, I've decided to get the following stickers made up;
"GLOBAL WARMING - convincing the gullible and the stupid to pay more tax since 2005".

No, they are trying to establish whether or not a carbon tax would work. If your hypothesis that a carbon tax wont work is correct, well youre about to have proof that it wont work.

You know, that carbon tax everyones so happy to bag out. Id have thought you'd welcome the experiment. It should prove the carbon tax wont work.

No, I'm afraid that they'll do what they have so much form for; when it doesn't meet the desired outcome, they fiddle with the data until it does.

Think we should all go back and re-read "Animal Farm".
What's happening these days seems frighteningly familiar.......

Actually that problem is easily fixed. Just move the QLD border 200km north.....
Brizzos get daylight savings and Queenslanders get a headache removed.
