Why is this important? It was Leftists and the Labor Party in Australia which pushed all the globull warming rules, laws, and regulations
(Brisbane Times) Voters have emphatically ended Labor’s rule in Queensland, effectively reducing the trounced government to the status of minor party.
So comprehensive was the LNP election victory under Campbell Newman that Labor has been virtually erased from the Queensland electoral map.
The ALP looks likely to be reduced to just seven of parliament’s 89 seats. This would be four fewer seats than that won by One Nation in 1998.
How bad is the defeat?
(The Telegraph) With only enough MPs to fill a small van after Saturday night, Labor even fell short of the 10 seats needed for official party status.
The Telegraph goes on to point out that Julie Gillard’s party is pretty much over. The People of Australia did not want all the cap and trade regulations, they do not want their cost of living artificially increased for a fake issue, and do not want their lives impacted due to legislation passed by people who never live the same “carbon neutral” lives they legislate. And certainly not when the “solutions” would have zero impact, even if anthropogenic global warming was real.
As Steven Milloy points out
Politicians globally are likely to take this bloodbath as a warning – voters will not tolerate enormous and entirely pointless energy taxes imposed to “address†a problem which does not exist.
This is the beginning of the political demise of global warming, carbon constraint and energy rationing. Moreover voters have severely thrashed the anti-development Greens and obstructive environmentalism.
Anna Bligh, the leader of Queensland Labor, quit over this utterly humiliating defeat. This should be a wake up call for all those “well meaning” politicians around the world, and especially here in the USA: do not push your junk science on the People by law and executive fiat.
