Blah blah blah...

To all three, I thank you for the work you have done to maintain this nation as one that believes in the principles of our lord and saviour, and you have never hidden behind that. So, when you are leaving, remember that we will look upon you with fond memories.

Gus: Now the whole lot makes sense... God made the world and there is no mention of carbon dioxide in the bible, nor any mention of global warming... thus none of this exists.

Sorry Barnaby baby, my apologies... I only take notice of serious scientific papers and sometimes read religious diatribe for a laugh. I'm weird that way....

Greens leader Bob Brown has guaranteed carbon price legislation will not be repealed despite promises from Opposition Leader Tony Abbott that he would "oppose it in opposition and rescind it in government".

Senator Brown predicts an agreement on a climate legislation is only about two weeks away - but says it is not going to be a "green outcome".

The Greens will have the balance of power in the Senate from Friday and Senator Brown says his party will not support any rescission motion - even if the Coalition is in government.

"I can give you a rolled gold guarantee that when and if this package, after all this work on behalf of the Australian people passes our parliament, we will be giving it every guarantee for the future," Senator Brown told the National Press Club.

"Of course we won't be supporting a rescission motion by Tony Abbott. This is, of course, central to the Greens.

"While ever we are drawing breath in the Senate we will defend the outcome - unless it can be improved."
