Voters really don’t like getting lied to

Andrew Bolt,Herald Sun (Australia)
"Essential Research has the first poll since Julia Gillard’s “carbon tax” lie hit the headlines - and it could mark the beginning of the end of Gillard’s leadership.And since half the poll of this fortnightly-averaged survey comes from the week before Gillard’s carbon tax announcement, the result is even worse than it looks."

Abbott promises to repeal the tax Gillard promised not to pass

The greatest green folly in Victoria’s history
"See what green madness, unchecked, can lead to. Ask why almost no journalists or academics even questioned this gigantic folly at the time:

MELBURNIANS will face rocketing water bills over the next 30 years to pay for the state’s desalination plant.Premier Ted Baillieu yesterday admitted the contract signed by the former Labor Government couldn’t be broken and the “white elephant’’ desalination plant could cost a maximum $23.9 billion…The desalinated water will cost up to $13.50 a kilolitre - compared to just $1 for our current supplies.A review by PriceWaterhouseCoopers shows the cost of the project will run to $19.3 billion without any water being sent to homes.

And think what the alternative was - the dam that the Labor Government would not even mention for years."
