CO2 politics killed off Howard and Rudd - Gillard is a dead woman walking. She has foolishly nailed the Party's colours to this crazy policy so cannot back away from it.
Time for an election now to seek a mandate. The policy may be popular with Hollywood actresses and inner city yuppies disconnected from the real world, but it is as popular as anthrax everywhere else.

"Coalition has Largest Polling Lead in History - 59%-41%
The latest telephone Morgan Poll conducted over the last three nights, May 31 � June 2, 2011, shows the L-NP (59%) with its biggest winning lead over the ALP (41%) since the Morgan Poll began recording Two-Party preferred results in early 1993.
A clear majority of Australian electors (53%, down 1% since March 2011) oppose the Gillard Government�s plan to introduce a carbon tax, 37% (down 1%) support the proposed carbon tax and 10% (up 2%) can�t say.
Although most oppose the carbon tax Australians are concerned about Global Warming. When asked for their view of Global Warming most Australians (50%, down 4% since January 2010) say that �If we don�t act now it will be too late� and a further 15% (up 3%) say �It is already too late,� only 32% (up 1%) believe that �Concerns are exaggerated,� and 3% (unchanged) can�t say."
