SHORT-TERM ADVANTAGE SOUGHT
Imre Salusinszky on Pauline Hanson’s Climate Change Coalition:
Adams and Newell must be having some interesting conversations as they turn the sod on their “biodynamic” farm at Elmswood, in the Hunter Valley.
Here’s what Adams wrote in 1998: “John Howard is being widely described as a racist. Back in 1988, when he detonated the immigration debate, his apologists were defending him from that charge. More recently, his diagonal nods to Pauline Hanson have added fuel to the fire.
"Well, if he’s not a racist, he’s something far worse. He’s a reckless man who will exploit the racism of others for his own short-term advantage."
At least Adams can’t accuse Newell of making only a "diagonal nod" to Hanson.
This is the full curtsy.
UPDATE. CCC goes KKK!
UPDATE II. Doktor Karl, who a few days ago compared talk of clean coal to Nazi propaganda, now recants. But from where did he source his initial notion?
The error comes from incorrect data found in the first edition of Australian of the year Tim Flannery’s best-selling climate change book The Weather Makers …
Via Mole.
UPDATE III. Patrice speaks: “I believe we’re pretty clever.”
UPDATE IV. It’s war! Adams: “This is a war. Climate change involves a true world war.”
UPDATE V. Some fascinating background on CCC campaign director John Harvey, who recently accused the Greens of intimidating his candidates. War!
