The Australian ^ | November 11, 2013 | Greg Sheridan

Prime Minister Tony Abbott has posted a video to mark the opening of the 44th parliament, saying the 'adults are back in charge', as he seeks to abolish the carbon tax.

FEDERAL cabinet has ruled that Australia will not sign up to any new contributions, taxes or charges at this week's global summit on climate change, in a significant toughening of its stance as it plans to move within days to repeal the carbon tax.

Cabinet ministers have decided to reject any measures of "socialism masquerading as environmentalism" after meeting last week to consider a submission on the position the government would take to the Warsaw conference...

It’s early days yet but it looks like Tony Abbott is shaping up to be everything Obama ISN’T.

The left here have Abbott Derangement Syndrome to the same levels as the American left have with Bush and Palin Derangement Syndrome combined.

LOL! Leave your guns with me when you go. That is if you have any, of course, that were recovered from the boating accident.

The “adults” may be back in charge but we’ll wait and see if the can keep control. Now we just need some non-socialists in charge here. From the local city councils all the way up to the lyin’ king.

Too bad Nixon didn’t feel that way when he gave us the oppressive EPA as part of his rancid legacy. Now the socialists cling to that dictatorial agency like they should, but don’t, revere the Ten Commandments.

The EPA was an act of appeasement ,and that tactic NEVER works in the long run because the other side ALWAYS demands more.
