Another Achievement, Mr Rudd

It's not often that this angry goat goes all political (if you look back, not often is actually never) - mostly because this goat doesn't know enough to write anything of substance or credibility. But the announcement by the "Honourable" Kevin Rudd has particularly incensed us.

He has trumpeted his emissions trading scheme (ETS) for years now, and today has canned the whole thing until at least 2013. Now whether or not you agreed with the scheme is a whole other thing, but before today you could at least say that an effort was being made to address climate change issues. All you can do today is wonder about the weak and spineless who are leading this country.

KRudd is just a hypocrite. He based his Kevin 07 election campaign around his willingess to do something about climate change. Many thought that he would be a person of action, finally someone who was serious about the issues. But he's not. The Coalition put forward a policy of 'wait and see' in regards to other countries actions, which KRudd said was "an absolute failure of leadership". But when he chooses the same course of inaction, it is now "a reasonable and responsible course of action". No Mr Rudd, you are the epitome of a failing leader. Instead of being able to lead the world in taking action on climate change, Australia will once again be relegated to the position of playing catch up.

When is someone going to actually do something? Stop talking out of your behind, and deliver something that addresses the issues. It's not good enough to say we'll do something when others do something. It's not good enough to shelve yet another plan just because of political reality. Find a backbone and do something.

I would say that the solution to this is just not to vote for our Labor friends, but our Liberal friends look no better. So I guess all we can do now is enjoy what is left of life, before our inaction on climate change kills us all. Congratulations KRudd.

Got my Goat?
