The budgets, the environment and study study study...

The state budgets are being brought down this week, although support for some sort of environmental focus in the budget is waning.  An ABC news story states that "The Federal Government is still struggling to convince voters of the merits of its proposed carbon tax, according to the latest Newspoll." The link to the story is:http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2011/05/04/3207006.htm?section=business Now whether we support a carbon tax or not, unless we start seriously considering ways of cutting greenhouse gas emissions soon, very soon, then the job just becomes that much harder....as the photo below taken from the ABC website also shows us...


I made a good start to one of my final papers yesterday, and hope to continue this afternoon when I get home from uni...Andrew who has only been back a couple of days, now asks, when can he use the computer and we have had to institute a booking schedule...maybe I do need a lap top:):)  the photo below is one I took as we were arriving in Melbourne from Tasmania on the Ferry....
