PLEBISCITE
1. DO YOU SUPPORT A CARBON TAX?
[ ] YES [ ] NO
2. IF TONY ISN’T GOING TO PAY ANY ATTENTION TO THE RESULT IF YOU SAY YES, IS THIS A BIT OF A POINTLESS AND EXPENSIVE STUNT?
[ ] YES
Tony Abbott at the ballot booth (wearing speedos) does a doubletake and says: “…HEY!”

That man is unbelievable. You don’t get to only take the answer that you wanted. But I guess he’s been having that argument since the election, hasn’t he.
For a man who continually bangs on about Labor and it’s pointless waste just exactly what is a plebiscite then Tony? Besides, neither side of the political spectrum is going to pay any attention to the results. Gillard is going ahead and Abbott will abolish. So in the greater scheme of things…just more hypocrisy from the opposition leader.

My short answer: Yeah, let’s have a plebiscite on the carbon tax, just like the one we had about the GST…
Oh. Yeah.
My long answer is here: <a href="http://megpie71.dreamwidth.org/17319.htmlhttp://megpie71.dreamwidth.org/17319.html</a>
I’d like for Mr Abbott to hold a plebiscite. I imagine it would bite him on the finger, escape into the Parliamentary gardens, and in a few months’ time there’d be hundreds of feral plebiscites roaming wild around Canberra. And then the AEC would employ me full-time to herd them.
The Senate sez Tony cannot haz plebiscite.
