Wongbot short circuits....

Tony Jones, attack bantam, asks. Then away she goes, or not.

Read it here...

And I just think I need to fix this:

PENNY WONG: Well, we've put out an enormous amount of modelling; in fact, I think Mr Abbott criticised us the other day in the Parliament for putting out too many pieces of paper. But can I just say, make this point, Tony - and Mr Howard himself said that it was unrealistic for people to say there wouldn't be an impact on costs if we were going to do the things that were needed. You can't fix climate change without costs. The question answer is: how do you best pay for that?!
Interesting about these "working families" and others who will get compensation. Where exactly do these people, who think that this Extra Tax System is such a fantastic idea, think that the compensation will come from? Where do they think that the producers of every product we need, and some we don't, who use energy, and those who transport these goods, who do they think will be paying for these taxes imposed for energy?

Hint: manufacturers, transporters and general businesses which will all pay increased costs will not be absorbing these increases.
Update:
You know, you could replace the "PENNY WONG" with "KEVIN RUDD" and noone would know the difference! Is she some sort of clone? Listening to so many in the ALP ranks of the rank they do all sound the same!
