Climate change & politics downunder

We just happen to be here for a possible "meltdown" of the Liberal party (read conservative) over the issue of climate change. Said to be the biggest dustup of Aussie politics in a generation. The Liberal (opposition) leader is supporting the position of the Prime Minister Kevin Rudd to do something active to fight climate change. Imagine the Republicans fully supporting Obama on this to get an idea what this is about. The Liberal base harbors many non-believers on the subject (in spite of Sydney's hottest temps ever right now and bushfires blazing everywhere). A large contingent of Liberal party "senators" have walked out and are after Turnbull's head. He remains defiant and gave an impassioned speech about fighting climate change being the right thing to do for Australia's (and the world's) future. Aussie politicians call a spade and spade - no pussyfooting around, no spin, just what they truly think and why. Refreshing, to say the least! Tuesday is showdown day - we can't wait to see the results of all this!!
