How much tax does it take to turn the lights off?

Most troubling for the electorate , and especially green and labor supporters,  must be the way Penny Wong wanders all over the territory of solutions , when she wants us to take "the problem" seriously .Can't go anywhere if you haven't worked on both convincingly .
Change she certainly believes in ( her own mind) , but has she opened her mouth too soon in  moving from hot air talk  to...... hot , cold and unpredictable talk ? "The first thing we will do is tax you" - then we will decide who to give the money too .  Mere technology of tax talk is simple compared to being confused about what to do ( and not saying so )  Sounds like she has as big a problem about change as any out there in the atmosphere.
As Tom on the panel of qanda implied last night,  she can't sit still and be convincing; Tony Jones is not the only Australian in the audience  whose now very aware of it .

Unstable, unreasonable, unrepresentative governance

OK people ( no polys online here ) , despite all the hype - I suggest
"The most unsatisfactory outcome from the coming Federal Election would be for the Greens to hold the balance of power" .
Do you not agree?  What are you going to do about it ?

Are we really that stupid ?

Since when has the length of deliberation justified one member of Parliament adopting the role of Governor -General   ?( Julia Gillard justifying her dismissal of PrimeMinister Rudd ).
Since when is the government serious about helping us pay less for energy  ( Don't you hate those annoying energy watch ads and those very annoying agents of the government who ring up or appear on the doorstop to encourage us be as moral  as possible -Trying to bribe us with gifts  that we actually pay for !!!!
