		<description><![CDATA[Hey there,

Apologies if I&#039;ve posted this already, however it&#039;s a little hard to keep track of blogs when I&#039;m contacting so many. I couldn&#039;t seem to find an email link so I thought I&#039;d post a comment here.

I run the Daily Wire (an Australian political discussion forum &amp; blog site - dailywire.com.au), and have recently put together a site to help fight against the tide of misinformation and obfuscation in our nation&#039;s media surrounding climate change and the government&#039;s plans to put a price on carbon. The site supports the government&#039;s plans, and can be found here - http://www.carbontax.net.au

I&#039;m wondering if you&#039;d be willing to link to this site in your blogroll and perhaps refer to it in your latest post? I&#039;m, of course, happy to post a reciprocal link in the site&#039;s blogroll.

I plan to contact as many blog owners as I can and ask them to do the same. With what I know about search engine optimisation, there isn&#039;t much competition out there on carbon tax related keywords. If enough blogs link to the site, I&#039;m certain it can climb very high in the Google rankings. The internet presents one major way we can bypass our short-sighted media.

If you do feel like linking, the best anchor text to use in the link is &quot;Carbon Tax&quot;, although you may find that not descriptive enough, in which case &quot;Carbon Tax Facts&quot; or &quot;Carbon Tax Australia&quot; would be good too. By anchor text, I mean the text that the html link tags are wrapped around, or the &quot;name&quot; of the site in your blogroll if you&#039;re using wordpress.

I realise that the phrase &quot;carbon tax&quot; is contentious, and actually clarify the difference between a carbon tax and the government&#039;s plans on the site. However, as most people refer to it as the carbon tax, it&#039;s useful from a search engine perspective to target those keywords.

If you have any questions or suggestions regarding the site, I&#039;m all ears.

Cheers,
JJ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[*laughs* Nice one.

I have to say this is pretty close to my analysis, in fact I suggested that Abbott is actually at risk of losing credibility with his base if he ramps up this sort of nonsense and he&#039;ll have to at this point.

		<description><![CDATA[Sounds much like a briefing with a certain English Lord has paid dividends.  Abbotts comments on stunts, hypocrisy.  Joyces comments on international Carbon Offset Certificates, hypocrisy (as he roles his eyes over the lunacy of it all).  Like anyone should seriously listen to the opinions of a patron at the St George pub over those of Treasury and the Productivity Commission over economic issues.

Sadly the oppositions tactics is to give the impression Australia is in disarray.  Parliament is noisy and dysfunctional, the government  can&#039;t get anything right and the nation is spiraling into a deep dark hole.

Very sad and the electorate is buying it......]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[@J   I was also particularly amused at Abbott bleating about it not being fair that the coallition couldn&#039;t have a press conference at the SAME TIME as Gillard and that they had to have equal time.... this is not a debate or an election campaign regardless of Abbotts insistance there should be an election.  

With the changes in the senate he&#039;s now hamstrung even IF he wins the next election and all this noise is the negativity of a castrated opposition who still believes they should have won the last election.

..... and I still maintain that their Direct action plan isn&#039;t a plan at all in the same way the NBN alternative wasn&#039;t.  Askin business nicely isn&#039;t going to work for either.]]></description>
