Not Independent

Where is the evidence for the independence that is claimed by the Commissioner and Commissionee.

Just because the Dear Leader and his appointment say so does not make it fact, and even after being parroted by the media it is still not from a credible or reputable source. Self praise or analysis may be a guide to what the source believes or wants people to believe but its clearly not impartial.

As for the citation, of relevence to 'independence' the draft report contains the following .

Terms of reference ...The Report will embody the independent judgments of its author...

Garnaut

...But in taking these arguments into the national debate, let us make sure that there is also a strong and independent centre for the policy-making process that can keep sectoral claims in perspective...

Well there you have it. The PM claims that his appointment and resulting process are independent and his appointment agrees. The song sheet has been written and the media sing along, apparently actual proof is not required. Its an almost universal truth that leaders claim noble or virtuous intent for their actions and therefore their pronouncements should carry no weight.

It should be self evident to anyone who retains the ability to think that Garnaut is not and cannot be independent, certainly not from the goverment that appointed him or from the presuppositions that he holds, whatever they may be, and that the nature of and process for initial selection of a review are subject to partisan pressures.

Parroting of well worn and hackneyed propaganda and other government bullshit is not a substitute for impartial citation.--Theo Pardilla (talk) 23:14, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Clarify Reaction

Could someone please clarify the reaction section? It reads as if the opposition to the report is for uniform reasons, when actually the report sits in between with reactions a polar opposites. 121.91.203.141 (talk) 21:16, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
