Senator Wong needs to be more sensible after the senate No vote

Comments on report “Senate votes down ETS”, The Canberra Times, by PHILLIP COOREY, 13/08/2009, http://www.canberratimes.com.au/news/national/national/general/senate-votes-down-ets/1595200.aspx

Rudd and Wong need to consider very carefully why no non-government senators, including the greens, and the independents, voted with them. Political cynicism and bully are not in the nation’s interest.

They need to be serious about emission reduction and developing renewable energies. At the elast, they need to separate the ETS bill from the renewable energies bill to make the way for the renewable bill to be passed in the senate. They should not be politically opportunistic and use the ETS bill as a double dissolution trigger for an early election. That would be purely partisan politics and not in the nation's interest.

Rudd and his government should have the gut and political courage to have them judged by voters in a full term. They should not be acting cowardly to rob the public an opportunity to see the full effects of its current budget and how it makes the next one in May 2010.
