Only problem is – How is this message conveyed to the population at large?
Gillard has the ball and the umpire is on her side.
I do not know how many people read Quadrant but it would be a drop in the ocean compared to the masses that are subjected daily to the party line put out by the Government over every media outlet.
Also, I am not sure what credibility Professor Bob Carter, Alan Moran and David Evans have with the public compared to all the scientific bodies Gillard claims are on her side. Let us be frank, unless you are a sceptic, not much.
Yes, there is a big movement going on opposing a Carbon Tax but it is as disorganised as the rebels in Libya. What the movement needs is a big name leader that can articulate the message in your article and win over the majority. At present the Government strategy is to demonise the opposition as redneck extremists that do not understand the science. This image needs to be strongly counteracted.
Not only does Gillard have a large number of people on her side such as the CSIRO and BOM, she also has the bulk of the MSM including the ABC. But most important of all she runs the elected Government albeit by deceit and she is counting on pushing the tax through and then hoping the public will get used to it before the next election in 2 and a half years time.
I really cannot see how she can be stopped unless the opposition and argument against increases at least tenfold.
