It comes as no surprise that the high CO2 industries are targeting Labor MPs because they dared to introduce an emissions trading scheme.
Lobbyists and MPs said Labor and Coalition backbenchers will be targeted by companies and their lobbyists including Rio Tinto, BHP Billiton and Xstrata when Climate Change Minister Penny Wong releases the new draft laws for the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme tomorrow.

The Australian Coal Association will be taking a slide show campaign to backbenchers pressing its case for compensation under the scheme.

Forget the fact that this scheme will be totally useless in preventing catastrophic climate change.
Forget the fact that the scheme is unbelievably generous to those causing the problem in the first place.
This is about the polluters not wanting to give one single inch to fight climate change. Like the villians in the James Bond films, they want the world..... to destroy of course.

My MP, Darren Cheeseman, will no doubt be targeted because his seat is very marginal and there is plenty of heavy CO2-belching industries surrounding the electorate.

As part of my civic responsibilities, and to save my MP plenty of time and effort, I have drafted the following letter for Mr Cheeseman to send the lobbyists.

Dear sellouts for environmental vandals whose greed knows no bounds,

Fuck Off

Yours Sincerely

Darren Cheeseman MP.

Pissing myself laughing. I love it. I must lobby my Labor MP myself. He wrested the seat in 2007 from the grasp of Liberal Trish Draper, the one who got sprung taking her boyfriend on her swansong taxpayer funded world tour junket.
Boo to the 5% target.
