#1 Tony Abbott is off to a good start. Any other country afflicted with a trundlethrift government and a debauched political culture would do well to take notes.

#2 The academic that headed the Commission was making $180,000-a-year part-time.

I'd like a part-time job like that!

#3 "The first serious step toward cutting the U.S. budget would be to pick some eentsy-weentsy notshit sinecure agency or bureau and abolish it." Transfer 1/10 of all other agencies and bureaus into that chosen agency and then use its size as an excuse to cut it. If all works well you can dump all of the partisans and incompentants (or at least 1/10th of them) in one swoop.

#5 Fred commented: I'm guessing it was then packed with partisans and did anything but what it was advertised to be doing. I could be wrong, of course. But probably not.

Give that man a cigar.

If you follow Tim Blair (http://blogs.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/timblair/) down under you will have been seeing this bureaucratic abortion from day one. Flannery is one of the biggest AGW scam artists around, Flim Flam Flannery is as bad as Gore, Mann and the IPCC.
