So is this proposed tax going to be a carrot or a stick? I like our treasurer Wayne Swann and think he is a decent bloke. I trust him much more than our PM. So hopefully he won't stitch us up.

Still awaiting the Patent approval. I'm no scientist and even I could come up with this using Google Images , Publisher, Word Art and a few glasses of Red Cordial. I think it would work a teat, I mean a treat.

Only hard bit would be not upsetting the animals when fitting the hoses. Pissed off pigs are not to be trifled with.

I was thinking something like a toilet plunger that would stick to the animals bottoms due to being under vacuum.

Could capture a lot of gas and create a large store of Methane?





BTW, how cool is the milking carousel. A side benefit could be marketing gourmet 'Centrifugal Cheese' to the rich and gullible. Yet another outstanding indirect benefit could be to feed underperforming politicians and criminal recidivists to the pigs along with other waste

Thats a great invention Hamsta ! but is it safe and what other colours does it come in

20+ years ago the planet was "cooling", more recently it's "warming", now they just call it "climate change" and now they want to add a "carbon tax"... Its all about increasing the government coffers to fund the future pensions for the aging population. (and feathering the pollies nest)

I just wonder abut the boffins that are so called "experts" that are brought out to support the government line. (maybe their funding might be reduced if they don't)


that's right. There was utter agreement on global cooling...

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_cooling

I wonder about the so-called experts, which is why I rely on the pine combs on my windowsill and whether the cows are sitting down before I go windsurfing.

I also have a pair of boobs in a suitcase that forecast the weather. The so-called experts reckon these are unreliable, but I think they're just looking to defend their funding.

I especially love the ones that have to bring boatpeople into the equation. It's somehow related to boat people.

OR THE ONES THAT HAVE A LOT OF INFORMATION BECAUSE THEY HAVE SO SO SO SO MUCH TO SAY AND THEY JUST DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START BECAUSE THEY ARE SEMI-ILLITERATE SO HERE IS A JUST LIKE A GIANT BRAIN DUMP OF EVERYTHING I AM INTERESTED IN BECAUSE IT MAKES ME ANGRY AND I NEED CONFLICT TO EXIST!

Dr. Karl is pimping this one. Very interesting.

By the looks of that rally they should schedule free health screens for the over 50's -- Love the satire of cartoonists and the spontinaeity of rally signs - they did not let us down - they did suck a couple of silly politicians in...

So what do we have.....

The free market approach ( a natural 4 conservative politics[}:)]) = carbon tax cornered by the socialists.
The big spend politician controlled big government scheme ( a natural 4 socialist politics ) left to be cornered by -- the mob in the other corner - because we exist to throw mud.

I can see Gaddaffi to Moaning Rabbot morph's coming on - I am conservative by nature turned to swinging voter by the injustices of prejudice and the scrapping of culpability by focussed event based memory loss - under Howard.

The major benefit of independents is the broadening of the publically stated points of view - it is refreshing.

The sooner moanie rabbot is asked to step aside the better. His minders must be cut from a tough cloth... He reminds me of Bushel Jnr ....

BTW anyone interested in starting a fish farm to send product to Japan?

Cheers

Not doubting what you are saying about CO2, but I could have sworn that livestock release methane when they fart?

thats what i thought until some scientist measured it by a gas meter strapped to their mouth. 4 stomachs = much methane apparently.
