More Laws of Power

To continue
Law 4: Always Say Less Than Necessary:
Powerful people impress and intimidate by saying less.
Stop the Coal Mining!

Law 5: So Much Depends on Reputation - Guard it with your life
I hope Bill Shorten understands this.
I hope Federal Labor members understand this and stick to defending their Carbon Pricing Scheme.
Mr Abbott certainly understood this and the previous law!

Law 6: Court Attention at All Costs
Everything is judged by appearances. When Opposition Leader, Mr Abbott was out and about all around Australia, running, swimming, pressing the flesh. Grabbing headlines with short, forceful, negative slogans (see Law 4). Now that he has gained power, fewer press conferences, but still saying as little as possible.

The Victorian Liberals govern with one vote, Geoff Shaw now an independent MP, charged with 23 counts of obtaining financial benefits by deception and one count of  misconduct in public office. But not a peep out of Labor Opposition Leader Daniel Andrews about  'illegitimacy of the Government', something we heard about long and clearly from Tony Abbott when a similar problem occurred in Federal Parliament.

Clive Palmer is courting attention appearing larger (easy that one), more colourful, more mysterious.

Climate Change Science Digest

 As a Sept 13 Take Part article says "Labor’s “polluter pays” carbon tax will be replaced with Abbott’s more expensive “taxpayer pays” in which taxpayer funds will pay for emissions mitigation at lowest cost within Australia. Both systems promise to reduce the country’s emissions by a paltry five percent by 2020."

Carnage, here we come!!!
