Al's Journal : History is Made in Australia
This is a historic moment. Australia's Parliament has put the nation's first carbon price into law. With this vote, the world has turned a pivotal corner in the collective effort to solve the climate crisis. This success is the result of the tireless work of an unprecedented coalition that came together to support the legislation, the leadership of Prime Minister Gillard, and the courage of legislators to take a vote that helps to safeguard the future of all Australians.
I have spent enough time in Australia to know that their spirit of independence as a people cannot be underestimated. As the world’s leading coal exporter, there’s no doubt that opposition to this legislation was fierce. But through determination and commitment, the voice of the people of Australia has rung out loud and clear.

If Al Gore approved it then it MUST BE WRONG.......Good luck Australia, your going to need it!!!.Fools!!!!!
Gore forgot to mention that PM Gillard lied to the Ausrralian electorate two days before the last election by stating that " There wiil be no Carbon Tax under a Government I lead." She will get the flick at the next election. Aussies can't stand liars especially Politicians who say anything to get re-elected.
