From The Australian:
THE Queensland government, as host of last weekend’s G20 summit, is incensed over what it sees as an ill-informed, insulting speech from Barack Obama about climate change, the Great Barrier Reef and coal.
Federal Coalition members are also angry at the US President’s public intervention in the Australian climate change debate at the G20 last Saturday…
Senior Queensland government MPs are so angry at Mr Obama’s remarks about the Great Barrier Reef and his attack on coal production in a resources state that they are considering a formal complaint.
…What most angered Newman government MPs was that the state had “bent over backwards” to find a venue and audience in keeping with Mr Obama’s late request to speak to a large number of young people.
Finding a venue for the QLD coal communists to hide in if climate changes proves accurate could prove a little more inconvenient.
With any luck the market of ideas that’s been shaken up by the Obama blast will derail the Galilee quango that Comrade Campbell is pursuing against all capitalist (and human) sense.
