Rudd "begs" to get ETS through

How pathetic can you get? The proper response, of course, is "Get of your knees and clear out of here. The ETS is a crock of sh*t, and you know it." Let's hope that's what the Opposition will tell him.

Mr Rudd tried to keep the ETS alive during a news conference in Hobart on Thursday following a meeting of the Council of Australian Governments.

"I'd appeal to all politicians in the Australian Parliament, in the upper house; this is serious stuff for the nation in the 21st century," he told reporters. [No it isn't, it's bad law based on bad science. It needs to be chucked in the dumpster - Ed]

"Our job is to try and punch this through ... we're going to give it a damn good go."

Jolly good, old chap, you punch away, for all the good it will do you.
