Wish I knew how many signatures he gets

[Jeff T Hutcho]

Jeez Guys,

I hope all Agmates sign up to this petition, these politicians are going out on a limb for the country.

If you read the PM's speech to the Lowy Institute, you'd see the dissenting politicians need backing up, to counter the PM's god like approach to the climate and Copenhagen.

Thanks Shayne, for placing this link in the Forum. I keep thinking everyone's a member of the Climate Sceptics Group.

Jeff

Thanks Shayne and jeff, I used Shane's link and signed the petition. Maybe I'm the only one in step, but at this stage I don't have a strong urge to join groups.

Here's a post I just added to John C F's long-running forum, which might be of interest here, on a national conference here in Melb next Tuesday: 'The Economic Consequences of Climate Change Policy'.

...... Thought Agmates might be interested in the speakers and topics at the right-of -centre IPA's (Institute of Public Affairs') conference here in Melb next Tues.

I was invited, but I told CEO John Roskam that the price (even though I could get the $160 members rate as a 'good friend' I am sure) was a bit heady, for 'non - corporates'. Here is his nice reply:
'Hello Alan
Thank you for your support - we'll be taping the conference and will have it up on the web - so please rest assured you won't be missing a thing!
Kind regards John'.


Here's the speakers, and their topics:

[Steve Truman - Agmates]

G'day Shayne,

Thanks for posting the link to Cory's petition. I've clicked through and signed it and encourage all Agmates members to do so and come back here and post that they have done it.

Shayne can I ask you to edit you post and put the link in as an embeded link. That will make it open in a separate window. As it is now when you complete the petition you can't use the back button to get back to this post.

By embeded I mean like this - Click Here

Let me know if you don't know how to do that.

[Cate Stuart]

Hi Shayne, great idea putting this on here. I had a look yesterday, and signed it as well - just forgot to let you know! Cheers Cate :)

[Shayne Norton]

One thing I do know Cate is that You would probably break my legs if I tried to stop you,lol

[Jeff T Hutcho]

LOL, Shayne, in fact ROFLOL

G'day Cate,

J.

[Cate Stuart]

Now Lads, just behave yourselves! :) ( you got that right Shayne -tic - lol - Jeff my mate i know where you live now ,,,,,,ROTFLMHO!!)

Yep, i like you two are passionate about Australia, and there is no way in hell i would agree to this toilet document, to me that is "fighting words" if it got signed.

Do you know that it is 20 years since the Berlin wall came down - now there is a timely reminder huh?

Just heard on SBS that they are not hopeful of it being signed, in fact that it will be some time off before a satisfactory document can be agreed on ~ well hello - we all could have told the "powers that be " that!

I wish we knew how many had signed it? I wonder if Steve could alert people on the site to it in an email, that way they know it is here - just so important.

Cheers Cate

[Shayne Norton]

I think Steve already has Cate.....and thanks Steve for your help,I finally got the link embeded

[Cate Stuart]

Here is one for you Shayne - what you are doing and all our efforts combined will make some....... ( yes woofer up!)

[Shayne Norton]

Thanks Cate

[John Mikkelsen]

Yeah I've signed Cory's and Barnaby's and any other petitions out there I've come across in the last couple of months too.
Re Jeff's: If you read the PM's speech to the Lowy Institute, you'd see the dissenting politicians need backing up, to counter the PM's god like approach to the climate and Copenhagen.
You see he has also personally attacked the few mainstream journalists who have spoken out against his crazy scheme. If you dyed his silver hair black with an accompanying hint of a mo, he could do a good impersonation of another megalomanic who was big on thought control too.
