RE: A shift to economic focus in Australian politics, a welcoming move. There are some whom, remain redundant in a progressive approach
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
The following statement you made is incorrect "Important to note Labor brought in a Carbon tax only for it to be removed by Liberals with the support of the Greens"
"The Greens DID NOT vote to repeal the Carbon tax. I quote the following from the Guardian
"The government was backed by seven of the new crossbench senators, including the three Palmer United party senators, Liberal Democrat senator David Leyonhjelm, Family First senator Bob Day, Motoring Enthusiast senator Ricky Muir, DLP senator John Madigan. Independent senator Nick Xenophon was unwell. Only the Australian Labor party and the Greens voted against repealing the carbon pricing scheme they introduced, which came into effect two years ago."
Yes, but the events that led to that did not go that way. The game Abbot the power to get to that position. Do you recall Christine negotiating with Abbott on "Direct Action".
It cost her the Greens leadership in the end.
