I'm inclined to agree that if she believed as you do, as she now claims, she should not have made the promise.fish wrote:She should never had made the promise. Climate change was never going to go away and had to be tackled.
I assume she made it because she thought it would buy votes, and has changed policy for Green and independent support - who knows what she really believes?!
What disturbed me was that both she and Penny Wong tried to deny the promise had ever been made until the video evidence emerged.
[Not so much directly as by evasion, and refusing to even discuss the idea that it had been made.]
They must really respect the intelligence and memory of the public.
So, I'm inclined to favour the "Ju-Liar" and Penny "Wrong" labels that have become current.
[I don't disagree for Abbott's "mad monk" label either - he seems to have lost his balance since 2003.]
