i is good to see that some one with a rather unique surname has put his best foot forward for betterment for all. As a fellow "McHarg" all i can say is thank u and keep it up. the world needs more bill McHarg's!!
It is nobel to stand up for personal belief the way Bill Mcharg has done. However with a number of climate change preachers predictions failing to fulfill prophecy I hope Bill's achievement in ousting one of our finest prime ministers doesn't backfire into an inconvenient disaster for the Australian people.
Wow - what a couragous thing to do. I've seen politicians get in and try to change the world without much luck - they have some power but not as much as we give them credit for and I don't think they find that out until they're already in - "Crossing the Rubicon" by Michael Ruppert might put a new slant on things.

Gutzy move Bill. Watched Australian Story last night and was inspired. Its takes enormous courage to do something you really believe in, which sometimes means facing the unknown and ignoring ridicule and negativity.
Well Done! Best of luck in fighting global warming.
Bill you are an inspiration and have raised the bar for people to really know what it means to stand up for the environment. Your stance, where you spoke up and put your money where your mouth is in my opinion has classed you as an environmental hero. Sometimes it takes a moment of reflection to understand the significance of the message you are outlaying to the rest of society. Those of us who also follow this pathway can understand exactly what that feels like. Vine
I've also just watched Australian Story and want you to know that I found your story truly inspirational. Your children and grandchildren will be more proud of your actions last year than anything you may have done in your corporate life. Thank you for daring to stand up and make a difference.
Thank you Bill for ousting Howard from his "safe" Liberal seat and swinging the general populace to Maxine.
Your campaign was beautiful and it made me proud to see a real Australian stand up for real issues (especially someone from my father's background of property development).
Dear Bill...I think your capability to reinvent from what you were to who you are is a massive step. I had my daughter watch Australian Story because its people who step outside the foggy establishment queues of compliance and acceptable ignorance that we achieve anything. GOOD ON YOU. Im pleased that you dared to rock the cradle and break the surface tension. Wonderful. Richard
Just watched Australian Story. Was really inspired by Bill's efforts to make a change despite the immense sacrifices and challenges. What a great example. If only there were more people like him in the world!!
Good job Bill...heard your story on NPR and it was truly inspirational.
You said you were well connected...maybe you could use some of those connections to increase the importance of the climate issue in Kazakhstan and others that other country :)
Aaah enviro-guilt, the next great religion/control mechanism/revenue raising scam.
The climate is changing, but its not us doing it! Sure there's pollution and resource depletion... but the climate has and will continue to change due to natural cycles that have been occurring for millions of years!
Bill, thanks for this and your efforts in Bennelong. Australia does need to remove Howard as a sign that it is now ready put behind itself 11 years of climate change denial, continued logging of our heritage forests, inaction on renewable energy, abuse of asylum seekers, neglect of indigenous Australians, unjust invasion of Iraq, and Work Choices. As Greens candidate for Bennelong, I couldn't agree with you more: CLIMATE FIRST - HOWARD LAST.
Regardless of your personal beliefs of Global Warming,the fact is carbon dioxide is a poisonous gas & to ignore such a severe increase in our atmosphere,is totally an abuse of the planet.Suggesting that GW is supposably a figment of our imagination is so ridiculously ignorant considering all the facts.The problem is the majority of humans are selfish & self absorbed,while people like Bill try to make a difference for everyone.Good on you Bill I'm with you all the way.
carbon dioxide is NOT a poison. One of its major uses is in the food industry, it is fundamental for the life cycle of plants.
The CO2 produced by humans is dwarfed by that released into the air by volcanoes and miniscule compared to the biggest cause of all ,the decomposition of microscopic organisms in the worlds oceans.
GW may or may not be real, and if it is its causes are natural. AGW on the other hand is a religion
the way to boot Howard out and send the stongest message about climate change is to vote for the the Greens candidate Lindsay Peters and give your second preference to Maxine McKew, and most importantly vote 1 for the Greens in the Senate. The Greens have a plan for sustainable growth with more jobs.
Bill, For a person with zero integrity, you make some very good points. Who knows, you might actually do some good to counter your years of two faced backstabbing and dishonesty. Good Luck
Howard gets advice from scientists that know anthropogenic global warming is a complete crock. One of them is a good friend of mine. Howard believes the science. The Left believes computer models that don't work. Howard is right. Bill McHarg is wrong. End of argument.
Sh1t sniffed here - a load of anti-Howard factless bile.
As a parent I am more concerned about the environazi halfwits sending us all back to the dark ages.
The world is not burning. We are all not going to die. Polar bears have increased in number 5 fold in the last 10-20 years. Ice in the Antarctic is increasing. If all the ice melts in the Arctic the seas won't rise one bit.
Also, wasn't Howard derided for propping up the ethanol industry a couple of years ago? Haters have a short memory.
Polar bears have not increased in numbers, and the North-West Passage is now open for the first time in recorded history, that is a fact. sh1tsniffer you are a liar.
(and obviously with a user name like that an under educated trouble-maker)
You are right the world is not burning; it is a slowly increasing problem, like cancer.
I pity a fool like you who can only see what is directly in front of you,
Go and lie in the sun for several hours with-out sun-screen the damage that YOU can't see won't hurt YOU. Smoke a pack a day, if it doesn't make you feel ill it can't be doing any harm, there are no consequences!
A leading scientist from NASA who is a disciple of the Gore theory on "Global Warming" gained fame by predicting in the 1970'S that there would be a "new Ice Age" around about 2020 based on computer modelling.
If you read through all the comments you will notice that the earlier ones are all favorable to Bill and his cause, it was not till after the news story on him aired on skynews that the negative comments started to come in, I work at Parliament House in Canberra and have been asked to place a negative ridiculing comment about this video, as I'm sure a number employees of the Liberal party have been asked to do. I hope this is negative enough for you boss.
you're so sure of yourself. we'll know next week wont we, (and as a side note i believe Maxene McKew has already worked at Parli House in the ABC news rooms.. so much for your 'never')
I would tend to believe you. This Howard Gov will say or do anything to win. John Howard is a Hitler style manipulator of the written word. He turns and twist them in such a way that even a well educated mind is convinced. Very very scary stuff indeed.
Diet, Injections and injunctions will combine from a very early age, to produce the sort of character and the sort of beliefs that the authorities consider desirable, and any serious criticism of the powers that be will become psychologically impossible.
- Bertrand Russell 'The Impact of Science on Society'
Sorry... the documentary's 'Endgame' and 'Zeitgeist' 9/11, climate change, fuel shortages... its all fucking lies... I dare you to educate yourselfs and search for the torrents to these doco's...
Actually, as much as I use to believe GW was all due to humans I have learn't that all the planets out to Saturn have warmed up as the sun is getting hotter... that is scientific fact... maybe google the 'The Buildaburg Group' and see what you learn, or better still watch the movie 'Endgame' and then 'Zeitgeist' and truly educate your westerner dead shit ass
Its sad to see people opposing the questioning of Howards refusal to act for our children rather than his pocket and glory.
Its no longer fiction but fact. Those that oppose direct action on climate change are not worthy of recognition. They are only doing it for their party, company or themselves. I feel sorry for the kids they leave to combat their greed.
When i go to the grave at least I feel ive got of my arse and tried to make things better for my two boys.
Direct action on climate change/?Close coal fired power stations,halve Australia's exports, put all motor vehicles off the road, stop exporting minerals,stop eating beef and drive the cattlemen out of business Yes that should make things better for future generations.
BIWOZ, you are not only a fool but a dangerous fool, (or an industry lobbyist) and I suppose that if you're kids were drinking blue liquid from an unmarked bottle in the garage you would wait for the lab results to come back before you told them to stop.
These global warming cultists are far more frightening than any this bullshit apocalypse they preach. They've already sacrificed the 3rd world to shit living standards and now they're coming for us. If AL Bore offers them the cool aid I hope to hell they drink it.
wake up and smell the drought. climate change is real and far more than that it is happening faster and worse than the "climate cultists" thought that it would. It was not climate cultists that sacrificed the 3rd world to anything. If something drastic is not done about climate change in the next 5 years there will be no difference between the 1st and 3rd worlds cause it will all be in shit.
Absolute frog shit. Climate Change is as natural as the weather itself. Humans have little to do with it, and all the information coming out that hasn't been buried or demonised by the deranged faithful, is that AGW is one gigantic con with the media well and truly in on it to their abject discredit.
I applaud this effort by Bill and suggest that all respondents contribute to the effort and dedication made selfishlessly by this fellow Australian. Its time to act beyond words and get involved.
Bill - I just saw you talking about this on Sky News. You are an awesome human being to make this stand. What good is wealthy future, without a future.
What has Howard "going 'got to do with climate change?Rudd is going to sign a piece of useless paper (Kyoto) then take 20 years to implement his ever changing policies on climate change.Should check the billions of dollars Gore and his mates hope to make out of this scaremongering.Makes Gordon Gecko look like an amateur.
This is a great video and I saw the ad in the paper last night. Well done Bill McHarg. You have articulated messages that have been desperately needed to be said as part of this campaign and I hope all of Bennelong takes note.
i is good to see that some one with a rather unique surname has put his best foot forward for betterment for all. As a fellow "McHarg" all i can say is thank u and keep it up. the world needs more bill McHarg's!!
