The Australian people should be scared about the alternative policies put forward by the Labor Party. As Terry McCrann said today:

Kevin Rudd has recommitted a Rudd Labor government to damaging the economy in the short term and destroying it in the longer term.

That would be the consequence of the Labor Party’s policies to cut emissions in this country by 60 per cent over the next 40 years. It would be devastating to the economy. Terry McCrann is dead right; they would be a threat to every Australian.
