It won’t surprise you to learn, Senator13, I think that’s absolutely nonsense.

The opposite in fact. Every major world leader was in Denmark working for a solution to global warming. Fielding simply looked a joke.

Fielding’s position is vindicated after what was the debacle in Denmark.

Just to correct Dave (and I won’t say you’re a dummy), Steve Fielding did not vote for workchoices. The Howard Gvt had a majority in the senate and did that all by itself

Steve Fielding, firstly did not cry poor me over his learning disability, and has been blamed by sections of the media for “keeping it a secret” Cant say I have seen his “antics” that some of you have talked about, but then the way all politicians seem to behave is quite unbelievable at times, but I did read the questions Sen. Fielding posed re climate change (man made that is) questions that came from reputable scientists, and I did see where Al Gore left the country without answering them, and I did notice that Penny Wong and the Chief Scientist could not answer the questions. as for his learning difficulty he is in good company, if you look at the history books you will find plenty of people there who have contributed to the world in positive ways, that have learning difficulties. No I am not a Sen Fielding voter. However I do believe he has shown great courage, even if it is political naivety in questioning the all powerful lobby re man made climate change.

Never forget that the Fielding dope voted against raising the tax on alcopops. He vetoed a sensible proposal that would have made the products (which are immensely popular with young people) more prohibitively expensive, thus deterring use/abuse by the young. How he can call himself Family First when he voted to keep this much-abused product cheap for the kiddies is beyond me!

I hope you vehemently prosecute the ineptitude and incompetence of Swan with the same rigour as you have with Fielding.

People who really have disabilities find people like Fielding who play at “poor me I have a disability” totally distasteful and opportunistic. He had better come up with some ideas for those who really have disabilities to face every day without a parliamentary salary.

You might not agree with Steve Fielding but writing a blog that is nothing more than a personal attack on the guy does not seem like a terribly bright idea. You are an ideas guy right?

I would suggest you read some of the mindless babble the media push out via Twitter during Question Time. Their 5th grade humour is more immature than any of Fielding’s antics.

By the way, how exactly has he hijacked the climate change debate? Is it because he dared to ask questions that some people did not like? How many other Senators paid their own way to find out more about climate change theory?
