pathology_docPLUG-IN points for electric cars and electricity meters enabling appliances to be turned off over the internet will be installed in central Sydney and Newcastle, after NSW won a bid for $100 million in federal government climate change funding.
This from the government which wants to introduce a compulsory internet filter. How can we ever trust a government not to misuse this at some stage? And Climate Change Minister Penny Wong wanted to introduce this across the country if her pusillanimous master's ETS bill had got through. Combine that with a government-built super-firewall that quite probably would be able to monitor who said what about who is in charge, and you would have the power to destroy critics of the Government through subtle and repeated interference in their daily lives.
That's enough. At the next election, THROW THEM OUT. Them and their sick accomplices in the Green movement. Banish them to the deepest, darkest corners of the opposition benches and keep them there for a hundred years.
